Research Tools

Open-source tools that operationalize Deep Time Lab's frameworks into reusable software for the academic community.

Cultural Transmission Simulator

Cultural Transmission Simulator

Interactive agent-based simulation. Watch phase transitions emerge in real time as you adjust observability. Compare three models head-to-head.

Open tool
Observability Scoring Engine

Observability Scoring Engine

Rate a traditional knowledge claim on four observability dimensions. Get a predicted accuracy score calibrated against the 16-domain empirical dataset.

Open tool
Prospective Prediction Pipeline

Prospective Prediction Pipeline

Input an oral tradition with geographic claims. The tool extracts testable predictions, pre-registers them, and identifies remote sensing datasets for validation.

Open tool
Convergence Tester

Convergence Tester

Input ethnographic data from multiple cultures. Compute convergence indices, run permutation null models, and test whether convergence exceeds chance.

Open tool
Knowledge Extinction Dashboard

Knowledge Extinction Dashboard

Interactive global map showing endangered oral traditions ranked by scientific value using the observability gradient. UNESCO + ethnographic data.

Open tool
Interactive Globe

Interactive Globe

Explore 550,000+ archaeological sites across 8 databases on a 3D globe. View the Great Circle corridor, migration routes, and settlement patterns.
