This simulation explores Vladimir Lefebvre's Algebra of Conscience, a mathematical framework for modeling ethical decision-making and self-reflection. Agents operate with two distinct ethical systems and four archetypal moral characters, creating complex patterns of social interaction through help and harm dynamics.

In Lefebvre's model, System 1 agents (deontological) view compromise as positive and conflict as negative, while System 2 agents (utilitarian) have inverted values. Combined with self-evaluation levels (high/low), this creates four archetypes: saints (selfless helpers), heroes (guilt-driven helpers), opportunists (suffering-driven harmers), and hypocrites (avoiding negative feelings through harm).

Key concepts include: reflexive control (strategic manipulation of others' decisions), awareness acts (moments of ethical self-reflection), motivational overrides (feelings of guilt or suffering driving behavior), and the emergent dynamics between competing ethical systems in social space.
