This article develops an agent-level stochastic simulation model, termed RAW-ALPS, for simulating the spread of an epidemic in a community. The mechanism of transmission is agent-to-agent contact, using parameters reported for the COVID-19 pandemic. When unconstrained, the agents follow independent random walks and catch infections due to physical proximity with infected agents. Under lockdown, an infected agent can only infect a coinhabitant, leading to a reduction in the spread. The main goal of the RAW-ALPS simulation is to help quantify the effects of preventive measures—timing and durations of lockdowns—on infections, fatalities, and recoveries. The model helps measure changes in infection rates and casualties due to the imposition and maintenance of restrictive measures. It considers three types of lockdowns: 1) whole population (except the essential workers), 2) only the infected agents, and 3) only the symptomatic agents. The results show that the most effective use of lockdown measures is when all infected agents, including both symptomatic and asymptomatic, are quarantined, while the uninfected agents are allowed to move freely. This result calls for regular and extensive testing of a population to isolate and restrict all infected agents.

Network artificial chemistry (NAC) uses a mathematical graph to emulate molecular interaction in a solvent. To emulate molecules' movement in a three-dimensional space, rewiring rules for NAC graphs’ edges must be designed to enable the edges to imitate the relations between molecules or atomic clusters. Our research formulated the ‘network energy’ representing this constraint and rewired the NAC graph to minimize the required energy. Experimental results for the NAC rewiring are compared with a hard-sphere random walk simulation.
