• Algorithm Changes: Using different predictive models to forecast long-term climate changes.

Stock Market Simulation

• Description: Simulating stock market dynamics and investor behavior.
• Rule Changes: Introducing new financial regulations or market mechanisms.
• Formula Changes: Changing the mathematical models for stock valuation or market volatility.
• Algorithm Changes: Implementing alternative investment strategies or machine learning models for trading.

Epidemic Modelling

• Description: Simulating the spread of infectious diseases.
• Rule Changes: Implementing different public health policies like social distancing or vaccination programs.
