Event Queue

Added: August 9, 2026

Definition

A place where upcoming events are stored and executed in the correct order.

The Problem That Led to It

Imagine 100 agents generate actions at different times. Without ordering, the simulator wouldn’t know which action happens first.

What Problem It Solves

It orders events by timestamp + priority.

Easy Wording

“A waiting line that decides which event happens next.”

Layman Example

Like a hospital queue: urgent patients are handled before normal patients.

Technical Example

10:01 Agent A → sees fire 10:02 Agent B → runs away 10:03 Agent C → calls emergency

The queue executes them in order.

Limitation

It only orders events; it does not decide what an event actually changes.

Solution

State Transition decides how that event changes the system.
