Agentic Chunking and Bayesian De-chunking of AI Generated Fuzzy Cognitive Maps: A Model of the Thucydides Trap
The paper discusses a method for generating feedback causal fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) using AI agents. It explores how these maps can predict outcomes in scenarios like the Thucydides Trap, where a dominant power faces a rising power. The authors demonstrate the effectiveness of their approach through various simulations and Bayesian updating techniques.
- ▪The study introduces a technique for generating fuzzy cognitive maps from text using large-language-model agents.
- ▪The method involves breaking text into overlapping chunks to create a cyclic FCM knowledge graph.
- ▪The authors applied their model to analyze the Thucydides Trap, predicting potential conflict outcomes.

Convex mixing of these chunk FCMs gives a representative cyclic FCM knowledge graph. The text chunks can have different levels of overlap.
