A computer simulation method is provided for modeling the behavioral
expression of one or more computerized agents for running a simulation
against real-world input data, and providing a visual display identifying
elements in the input data corresponding to the modeled agent(s)
response(s). Simulations can be run on sources of input data on global
networks for agent types of different cultures, societies, and behaviors,
such as news feeds, text communications, and reports, in order to
identify keywords or phrases therein that correspond to agent behavioral
expressions being monitored. Robust new visual tools are provided for
discerning patterns and trends in the simulation data, including waveform
charts, star charts, grid charts, and pole charts.
