A computational laboratory for the future
Explore the futures that could emerge from the decisions we make today.
Futurisca holds a state of every country on earth, drawn down to the county and the town, with satellite imagery under it, a live desk of thirty sources on top, and every port, base, cable landing and camera on the map there to be opened. You write one sentence about what should be different, then step through what follows a year, a month, a week or a day at a time. It is not a crystal ball. It is an instrument, and it shows its working.

Four familiar things, in one instrument
The quickest way to say what this is: take the parts of four tools people already understand, and put them behind one screen.
The map
Google Earth
A real globe and a Web Mercator world you can zoom from the whole planet down to a roof, with satellite imagery underneath and a hundred and eighty nine ways to colour what sits on top of it.
The desk
A newsroom monitor
Thirty live sources on one screen: headlines, markets, prediction odds, outages, storms, quakes, launches, cameras, weather over every capital, and a pressure index that says where the day is loudest.
The sandbox
SimCity
Pull a lever and the world responds. Tariffs, export controls, carbon prices, borders, fertility, fabs, conflict. Set when it starts and how fast it bites.
The reasoning
A scientific model
Seven coupled blocks stepped a year at a time, hundreds of futures per run, and an exact decomposition of every headline number into the terms that made it.
The ensemble
A distribution, not a forecast
A single figure for 2032 is not knowledge, it is a guess wearing a suit. Every run starts a few hundred futures from the same world, each meeting a different sequence of shocks and a different draw of the coefficients nobody actually knows, and reports where they landed. The median is one line among many, and the branches are named with the share of futures in each.
Two hundred and fifty futures per run, in about two seconds
Branches with a stated share, so you know which family you are in
The same seed twice, so a comparison is your lever and not the noise
fanTwo hundred and fifty futures from one world. The signal line is the median; the bars are where the futures fall at the step under the playhead. Move the pointer to follow one.
The layers
A place is a stack
The ground, the boundaries drawn on it, what is built on it, what is happening on it now, and what is overhead. Every place on the map is all five at once, and a click at any point opens every layer it sits in: the country, the region, the county, the town, and then the port, the base, the reactor, the cable landing or the camera at that exact spot.
Over a hundred overlays and six hundred flows, any number on at once
Country names off by default, an atlas when they are on
Every drawn point opens with its own figures and its own levers
strataFive layers of one place. The pin follows the pointer; the live layer blinks; the orbital layer turns.
The hard part was never the pretty globe. It was the state of the world underneath it.
The live desk
The world, as it is right now
Thirty sources on one screen, each on its own clock and each named. Headlines from thirty desks, exchange rates, prediction markets, internet outages, tropical cyclones, quakes, volcanoes, outbreaks, launches, the geomagnetic field, weather over every capital, and two hundred and fourteen cameras the server checks before it offers them. A pressure index reads the day and says where it is loudest. None of it touches a simulation; all of it sits one click from the model.
Eight lenses, from geopolitics to a calm desk with the sirens off
A dossier for every country, built from the same sources
deskSix of the desk's panels. Prices tick, the pressure index settles, the map blinks, headlines arrive.
The sites
Everything on the map opens
A port, a strait, a base, a spaceport, a reactor, a datacenter, a cable landing, a camera: every point that is drawn is a thing with figures, and clicking it opens them. The card says what kind of thing it is, what it carries, what the model reads from it, and which levers reach it. Flows are anchored to these points rather than to the middle of a country, so a pipeline ends at the terminal and a lane passes through the strait.
Flows anchored to real nodes, not to capitals
Figures and levers on the card, not a name and a dot
The same inspector on the flat map and the globe
sitesThe cursor visits the sites in turn and each one opens. Move the pointer to open your own.
The analyst
Ask anything. See every step.
A question in ordinary words, in as many parts as it needs. The analyst reads it, makes a plan, gathers every figure it uses as a numbered row with the file, feed or equation it came from, and concludes with each conclusion citing its rows and saying how sure it is. A written up version is checked on the server sentence by sentence, and anything that cites nothing is removed.
Why, what if, compare, rank, forecast, risk, sources
Every row carries its kind and its weight
What would change the answer, and what to upload to firm it up
evidenceA question, the plan, the evidence rows with their kinds, conclusions citing them, and a sentence that cited nothing struck out.
The brain
A knowledge graph that learns
Every source, figure, country, treaty group, lever, channel, outcome, event and feed the instrument holds, joined into one graph, with two neural networks trained on it in your browser: one on the world's figures, one on how the simulation behaves. Their hidden units are nodes of the graph and their weights are its ties, and every one is scored on countries it has not seen.
Explanations that add up exactly, each part with its source
neuralThe ties settle as it learns, a country runs through as light, and its answer opens into what each figure added.
The data room
Your organisation, inside the model
Seven kinds of file: revenue, suppliers and sites by country, your own history, people, energy, and borrowing and cash by currency. Every column named and explained, every row checked, and a ranked list of what to upload next with where to get it. From then on every run says what it does to the company, line by line.
Kept against your account or in your browser, nowhere else
Each line opens into its chain
Supply at risk and every site rated against the run
dataroomFiles in, rows checked at the gate, placed on their countries, and the run against the baseline turning each into a change.
What you get
One instrument, with every part of it reachable from every other part.
01
A world you can see
A real globe with photographic imagery on it, a Web Mercator map that keeps going past the country layer to roads and roofs, and a network view where the geography drops away and what is left is who trades with whom. A hundred and eighty nine ways to colour it, over a hundred overlays to stack on top, six hundred animated flows, cables, pipelines, reactors, datacenters, bases, spaceports and satellites. Any number of them on at once.
02
One sentence, then consequences
Write what changes in ordinary words and the grammar turns it into the model's own levers: tariffs, export controls, sanctions, trade agreements, oil supply, carbon prices, migration and fertility policy, AI capability, fab capacity, conflict, pandemics, debt restructuring and more. Coalitions act together, so one sentence can move the whole G7. Before it runs, the sentence is weighed into the ways it could go, each with a probability, and every way is played to the end.
03
A distribution, not a forecast
Every run returns hundreds of futures clustered into branches with a stated share each, so you can see which family of outcomes you are in and how likely the model thinks it is.
04
A step at a time
Move through the run by year, month, week or day. At every point it says what moved across people, security, resources, capability and the economy, why, what else could be happening instead and with what probability, and what would change it.
05
Causes you can open
Growth, inflation and unemployment are built inside the engine as a sum of named terms, so what the interface shows adds up exactly. Click any term to see what drove it, then keep going.
06
Comparison that means something
Two scenarios run on the same seed meet the same shocks in the same years. The difference between them is your lever and not the noise, which is why a few hundred futures are enough.
07
A live desk
Thirty sources on one screen, on their own clocks: headlines, markets, prediction odds, outages, storms, quakes, volcanoes, outbreaks, launches, space weather, cameras. A pressure index says where the day is loudest. None of it touches a simulation.
08
Weather you can see
Current conditions and a three day outlook over every capital the model carries, as a field over the map with the wind drawn on it, as a strip of the whole planet from coldest to hottest, and as a row per capital on the desk.
09
The edge of night
Day and night on the map and the globe, shaded by how far the sun is under the horizon and drawn as the curve it is, following the clock of the run, so stepping into December bows the line toward the solstice.
10
An analyst that shows its working
Ask in ordinary words. Every conclusion cites numbered evidence, every row says where inside the instrument it came from, and every answer says how sure it is and what would make it surer.
11
A brain that learns the world
A knowledge graph of everything the instrument holds, with two neural networks trained on it in your browser and scored on countries they did not see.
12
Your company in every run
Upload what the organisation sells, buys, runs and owes by country, and every run says what it does to it, line by line, with the chain written out.
Fifteen views of one instrument
Every picture on this site is drawn live from the ideas the simulator is built on. None is a screenshot and none is a stock image. Each opens the page that explains it.
There is no template to pick and no example to copy. The box is empty because the question is yours.
Start from the world as it is
It opens on the world, already drawn. Put the layers on that the question needs: boundaries, cities, chokepoints, flows, live emergencies, or open the live desk and read the day first.
Write what changes
Say what should be different, in ordinary words, and when. It reads the sentence and weighs the ways it could go before it runs: held back, as said, answered, widened, reversed, each with a probability. Every sentence is accepted: nothing is refused and nothing asks you to name a lever.
Run a few hundred futures
Twice, in fact: once with your change and once without it, on the same seed. Everything happens in your browser. No queue, no credits, no upload of what you are thinking about.
Step through what follows
A year, a month, a week or a day at a time. Every step says what moved, why, what else could be happening, and what would change it.
Ask why, and keep asking
Open the map, the branches, the causes. Every answer opens into the next one until you reach the assumption underneath.
Three things this will never do
Pretend to predict
The output is a distribution with a stated confidence, a parameter sensitivity list and a range. Where the model is extrapolating past anything history can check, it says so on the page.
Hide its data
Every country carries a provenance mark: curated, partial or sourced. One click refreshes seventeen indicators for every country from the World Bank and stamps each with its year. Every live source is named beside what it feeds.
Model a person
No simulator can tell you what one leader will decide on one afternoon. Futurisca models structure, not personality, and the method page says exactly where that boundary sits.
Change one thing. Watch what follows.
It runs in your browser. No account, no queue, nothing to install.
