Capturing this complexity requires modeling frameworks that integrate stochasticity, spatial heterogeneity, and functional redundancy across immune cell types. We present a spatially explicit agent-based model of sterile inflammation based on a functional mono-agent abstraction, in which immune cells share core capabilities, e.g. polarization, chemotaxis, signal production, and phagocytosis, while differing through parameterization rather than rigid rule sets. Using large-scale global parameter exploration via Latin Hypercube Sampling, we generated 300\u00a0000 simulations to characterize the model\u2019s dynamical landscape. Dimensionality reduction suggested a continuous manifold of inflammatory trajectories. Applying biologically informed temporal criteria identified a highly constrained subspace consistent with canonical sterile inflammation. Within this region, multiple distinct yet self-consistent, kinetic regimes achieved successful resolution. These results indicate that sterile inflammation is not a single dynamical attractor but an emergent coordination constraint in a high-dimensional functional space, providing a systems-level framework for exploring immune regulation and dysregulation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Availability and
