Time-Extended Decision Networks: Dynamic Graph Models for Municipal Migration and Employment Governance

Modeling migration flows, employment dynamics, and urban development as time-evolving decision graphs with multi-generational responsibility gates

Municipal decisions operate on timescales much longer than business cycles. A zoning change may affect neighborhoods for decades, and infrastructure investments can shape economic corridors for generations. Traditional AI decision systems often optimize for short horizons, while municipal AI must reason over long-term cascades. This paper introduces Time-Extended Decision Networks, dynamic graph models for long-horizon effects on migration, employment, and urban development.

Pausable Policy Design: Mathematical Frameworks for Interruptible Government AI Operations

Formalizing policy execution interruption and accountability under pause conditions for transparent municipal governance

Government policies can be difficult to halt once launched due to inertia, sunk costs, and diffuse accountability. This paper introduces Pausable Policy Design, a mathematical framework that treats policy interruption as a first-class operation, with accountability requirements intended to prevent both premature termination and indefinite continuation of ineffective programs.
