-# Welcome to mesa-frames 🚀
-
-mesa-frames is an extension of the [mesa](https://github.com/projectmesa/mesa) framework, designed for complex simulations with thousands of agents. By storing agents in a DataFrame, mesa-frames significantly enhances the performance and scalability of mesa, while maintaining a similar syntax.
-
-You can get a model which is multiple orders of magnitude faster based on the number of agents - the more agents, the faster the relative performance.
-
-## Why DataFrames? 📊
-
-DataFrames are optimized for simultaneous operations through [SIMD processing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_instruction,_multiple_data). Currently, mesa-frames supports the library:
-
-- [Polars](https://pola.rs/): A new DataFrame library with a Rust backend, offering innovations like Apache Arrow memory format and support for larger-than-memory DataFrames.
-
-## Performance Boost 🏎️
-
-Check out our performance graphs comparing mesa and mesa-frames for the [Boltzmann Wealth model](https://mesa.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tutorials/intro_tutorial.html):
-
-
-
-
-
-## Quick Start 🚀
-
-### Installation
-
-#### Installing from PyPI
-
-```bash
-pip install mesa-frames
-```
-
-#### Installing from Source
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/projectmesa/mesa-frames.git
-cd mesa_frames
-pip install -e .
-```
-
-### Basic Usage
-
-Here's a quick example of how to create a model using mesa-frames:
-
-```python
-from mesa_frames import AgentSet, Model
-import polars as pl
-
-class MoneyAgents(AgentSet):
- def __init__(self, n: int, model: Model):
- super().__init__(model)
- self += pl.DataFrame(
- {"wealth": pl.ones(n, eager=True)}
- )
-
- def step(self) -> None:
- self.do("give_money")
-
- def give_money(self):
- # ... (implementation details)
-
-class MoneyModel(Model):
- def __init__(self, N: int):
- super().__init__()
- self.sets += MoneyAgents(N, self)
-
- def step(self):
- self.sets.do("step")
-
- def run_model(self, n):
- for _ in range(n):
- self.step()
-```
-
-## What's Next? 🔮
-
-- API refinement for seamless transition from mesa
-- Support for mesa functions
-- Multiple other spaces: GeoGrid, ContinuousSpace, Network...
-- Additional backends: Dask, cuDF (GPU), Dask-cuDF (GPU)...
-- More examples: Schelling model, ...
-- Automatic vectorization of existing mesa models
-- Backend-agnostic AgentSet class

+# Advanced Tutorial — Rebuilding Sugarscape with mesa-frames
+
+We revisit the classic Sugarscape instant-growback model described in chapter 2 of [Growing Artificial Societies](https://direct.mit.edu/books/monograph/2503/Growing-Artificial-SocietiesSocial-Science-from) (Epstein & Axtell,
+1996) and rebuild it step by step using `mesa-frames`. Along the way we highlight why the traditional definition is not ideal for high-performance with mesa-frames and how a simple relaxation can unlock vectorisation and lead to similar macro behaviour.
+
+## Sugarscape in Plain Terms
+
+We model a population of *ants* living on a rectangular grid rich in sugar. Each
+cell can host at most one ant and holds a fixed amount of sugar. Every time step
+unfolds as follows:
+
+* **Sense:** each ant looks outward along the four cardinal directions up to its
+ `vision` radius and spots open cells.
+* **Move:** the ant chooses the cell with highest sugar (breaking ties by
+ distance and coordinates). The sugar on cells that are already occupied (including its own) is 0.
+* **Eat & survive:** ants harvest the sugar on the cell they occupy. If their
+ sugar stock falls below their `metabolism` cost, they die.
+* **Regrow:** sugar instantly regrows to its maximum level on empty cells. The
+ landscape is drawn from a uniform distribution, so resources are homogeneous
+ on average and the interesting dynamics come from agent heterogeneity and
+ congestion.
+
+The update schedule matters for micro-behaviour, so we study three variants:
+
+1. **Sequential loop (asynchronous):** This is the traditional definition. Ants move one at a time in random order.
+This cannnot be vectorised easily as the best move for an ant might depend on the moves of earlier ants (for example, if they target the same cell).
+2. **Sequential with Numba:** matches the first variant but relies on a compiled
+ helper for speed.
+3. **Parallel (synchronous):** all ants propose moves; conflicts are resolved at
+ random before applying the winners simultaneously (and the losers get to their second-best cell, etc).
+
+Our goal is to show that, under instantaneous growback and uniform resources,
+the model converges to the *same* macroscopic inequality pattern regardless of
+whether agents act sequentially or in parallel and that As long as the random draws do
+not push the system into extinction, the long-run Gini coefficient of wealth and
+the wealth–trait correlations line up within sampling error — a classic example
+of emergent macro regularities in agent-based models.

+## 12. Where to Go Next?
+
+* **Polars + LazyFrames roadmap** – future mesa-frames releases will expose
+ LazyFrame-powered schedulers (with GPU offloading hooks), so the same Polars
+ code you wrote here will scale even further without touching Numba.
+* **Production reference** – the `examples/sugarscape_ig/ss_polars` package
+ shows how to take this pattern further with additional vectorisation tricks.
+* **Alternative conflict rules** – it is straightforward to swap in other
+ tie-breakers, such as letting losing agents search for the next-best empty
+ cell rather than staying put.
+* **Macro validation** – wrap the metric collection in a loop over seeds to
+ quantify how small the Gini gap remains across independent replications.

-In this section we define the model class that wires together the grid and the agents.

-Also sugar_grid, initial_sugar, metabolism, vision, and positions are optional parameters so we can reuse the same initial conditions across variants.

-The space is a von Neumann grid (which means agents can only move up, down, left, or right) with capacity 1, meaning each cell can host at most one agent.

+In this section we define some helpers and the model class that wires
+together the grid and the agents. The `agent_type` parameter stays flexible so
+we can plug in different movement policies later, but the model now owns the
+logic that generates the sugar field and the initial agent frame. Because both
+helpers use `self.random`, instantiating each variant with the same seed keeps
+the initial conditions identical across the sequential, Numba, and parallel
+implementations.

+ This class wires together a grid that stores ``sugar`` per cell, an

Now let's define the agent class (the ant class). We start with a base class which implements the common logic for eating and starvation, while leaving the `move` method abstract.
The base class also provides helper methods for sensing visible cells and choosing the best cell based on sugar, distance, and coordinates.
This will allow us to define different movement policies (sequential, Numba-accelerated, and parallel) as subclasses that only need to implement the `move` method.

+Even though micro rules differ, aggregate trajectories remain qualitatively similar (sugar trends up while population gradually declines).
+When we join the traces step-by-step, we see small but noticeable deviations introduced by synchronous conflict resolution (e.g., a few more retirements when conflicts cluster).
+In our run (seed=42), the final-step Gini differs by ≈0.005, and wealth–trait correlations match within ~1e-3.
+These gaps vary by seed and grid size, but they consistently stay modest, supporting the relaxed parallel update as a faithful macro-level approximation."""

+1. **Sequential loop (asynchronous):** This is the traditional definition. Ants move one at a time in random order.
This cannnot be vectorised easily as the best move for an ant might depend on the moves of earlier ants (for example, if they target the same cell).

-mesa-frames is an extension of the [mesa](https://github.com/projectmesa/mesa) framework, designed for complex simulations with thousands of agents. By storing agents in a DataFrame, mesa-frames significantly enhances the performance and scalability of mesa, while maintaining a similar syntax. mesa-frames allows for the use of [vectorized functions](https://stackoverflow.com/a/1422198) which significantly speeds up operations whenever simultaneous activation of agents is possible.
+| Chat | [](https://matrix.to/#/#project-mesa:matrix.org) |
-## Why DataFrames? 📊
+---
-DataFrames are optimized for simultaneous operations through [SIMD processing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_instruction,_multiple_data). At the moment, mesa-frames supports the use of Polars library.
+## Scale Mesa beyond its limits
-- [Polars](https://pola.rs/) is a new DataFrame library with a syntax similar to pandas but with several innovations, including a backend implemented in Rust, the Apache Arrow memory format, query optimization, and support for larger-than-memory DataFrames.
+Classic [Mesa](https://github.com/projectmesa/mesa) stores each agent as a Python object, which quickly becomes a bottleneck at scale.
+**mesa-frames** reimagines agent storage using **Polars DataFrames**, so agents live in a columnar store rather than the Python heap.
-The following is a performance graph showing execution time using mesa and mesa-frames for the [Boltzmann Wealth model](https://mesa.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tutorials/intro_tutorial.html).
+You keep the Mesa-style `Model` / `AgentSet` structure, but updates are vectorized and memory-efficient.
-
+### Why it matters
+- ⚡ **10× faster** bulk updates on 10k+ agents (see benchmarks)
+- 📊 **Columnar execution** via [Polars](https://docs.pola.rs/): [SIMD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_instruction,_multiple_data) ops, multi-core support
+- 🔄 **Declarative logic**: agent rules as transformations, not Python loops
+- 🚀 **Roadmap**: Lazy queries and GPU support for even faster models
-
+---
-([You can check the script used to generate the graph here](https://github.com/projectmesa/mesa-frames/blob/main/examples/boltzmann_wealth/performance_plot.py), but if you want to additionally compare vs Mesa, you have to uncomment `mesa_implementation` and its label)
+## Who is it for?
-## Installation
+- Researchers needing to scale to **tens or hundreds of thousands of agents**
+- Users whose agent logic can be written as **vectorized, set-based operations**
-### Install from PyPI
+❌ **Not a good fit if:** your model depends on strict per-agent sequencing, complex non-vectorizable methods, or fine-grained identity tracking.
-```bash
-pip install mesa-frames
-```
