Modeling Ming Dynasty Politics: Game Theory, Optimization, and System Dynamics

Using multi‑objective optimization, Nash equilibrium analysis, epidemic‑style network models, and optimal control theory, this study quantitatively examines the “change rice to mulberry” policy, bureaucratic power struggles, corruption diffusion, and fiscal crises depicted in the drama “The Ming Dynasty 1566,” revealing underlying mathematical dynamics.
