The World3 model revisited in Python

License: CeCILL 2.1

PyWorld3 is a Python implementation of the World3 model, as described in the book Dynamics of Growth in a Finite World. This version slightly differs from the previous one used in the world-known reference the Limits to Growth, because of different numerical parameters and a slightly different model structure.

The World3 model is based on an Ordinary Differential Equation solved by a Backward Euler method. Although it is described with 12 state variables, taking internal delay functions into account raises the problem to the 29th order. For the sake of clarity and model calibration purposes, the model is structured into 5 main sectors: Population, Capital, Agriculture, Persistent Pollution and Nonrenewable Resource.

Install and Hello World3

Install pyworld3 either via:

pip install pyworld3

or by cloning the repository, installing the requirements numpy, scipy and matplotlib and do:

python setup.py install

Run the provided example to simulate the standard run, known as the Business as usual scenario:

import pyworld3
pyworld3.hello_world3()

As shown below, the simulation output compares well with the original print. For a tangible understanding by the general audience, the usual chart plots the trajectories of the:

  • population (POP) from the Population sector,
  • nonrenewable resource fraction remaining (NRFR) from the Nonrenewable Resource sector,
  • food per capita (FPC) from the Agriculture sector,
  • industrial output per capita (IOPC) from the Capital sector,
  • index of persistent pollution (PPOLX) from the Persistent Pollution sector.

How to tune your own simulation

One simulation requires a script with the following steps:

from pyworld3 import World3

world3 = World3()                    # choose the time limits and step.
world3.init_world3_constants()       # choose the model constants.
world3.init_world3_variables()       # initialize all variables.
world3.set_world3_table_functions()  # get tables from a json file.
world3.set_world3_delay_functions()  # initialize delay functions.
world3.run_world3()

You should be able to tune your own simulations quite quickly as long as you want to modify:

  • time-related parameters during the instantiation,
  • constants with the init_world3_constants method,
  • nonlinear functions by editing your modified tables ./your_modified_tables.json based on the initial json file pyworld3/functions_table_world3.json and calling world3.set_world3_table_functions("./your_modified_tables.json").

    Hello,

    I try your script. I can't find the "fig_world3_standard_x.pdf" files anywhere after using "example_world3_standard.py".

    I'm not confortable with Python, so may be I don't use the script properly.

    Regards.

  • Missing requirement for cbr in Population

    Missing requirement for cbr in Population 

        @requires(["cbr"], ["pop"])
    def _update_cbr(self, k, jk):
        """
        From step k requires: POP
        """
        self.cbr[k] = 1000 * self.b[jk] / self.pop[k]

    I believe the function _update_cbr in the Population class is missing the requirement for the birth rate

  • 29th order

    29th order

    Hi, I believe the 29th order in the README is a bit misleading.. The word order is used for the order of the differential equation, not the number of state variables. I believe the highest DE order of world3 is three.

    Improved usability with Bokeh

    I'm not sure this is an upstream consideration or a sub-project so I wanted to raise it here.

    This model should lend itself quite well to a bokeh model (https://bokeh.org) allowing live adjustment of the input variables and the enabling and disabling of particular plots and other functionality. I may attempt to wrap something up if I get some time as I don't expect it to be too difficult.

    Additional time series data

    Immediately it becomes obvious that global temperature and sea levels should be plotted, but also population density, and energy consumption. This would suggest the possibility of tools to prepare and overlay any time-series data set.

    Adding a plot of the historic population

    Hello, Thank you for making this python version of world3. I think it would be useful to add a option in order to plot the historic population next to the predicted population. Would you mind if I add an option to do so and prepare a pull request ? Best, A. below a draft (historic population in purple) draft :
