Agent-based modeling (ABM) is defined as a computational simulation of autonomous agents. Its purpose is to understand complex systems by studying how individual agents interact.
Conditions: Applies to simulation modeling of complex systems.; The video does not specify formal mathematical constraints beyond autonomy and interaction.

Instead of relying on a single abstract infection rate for an entire city, the model tracks person-to-person movement of the virus through everyday routines and interactions across a contact network, giving a much more realistic picture of how an outbreak actually unfolds.
Conditions: The application is framed as individual-level contagion modeling.; The clip does not state recovery rates, transmission probabilities, or network parameters.

Traditional modeling is top-down and tries to get the big picture by looking at the whole system. Agent-based modeling (ABM) flips this view and is bottom-up, starting with each individual person and watching the big pattern grow out of all their little interactions.
Conditions: Analysis begins at the level of individual agents for ABM.; Analysis begins at the level of the entire system for top-down modeling.

The video uses traffic jams and emerging trends as illustrative examples of complex systems that might be understood by growing them from simple components.
Conditions: These are illustrative examples, not formal definitions.
