A World is a gated garden with borders, laws, values, dysfunctions, a habitable structure within chaos.
New Worlds bring novel data compression that creates unique beauty—assembling figments of reality refactored to emerge into coherent meta-narratives for innovative economies to scale—moulding it towards goals, actions, and systemic outcomes.
World creation is a defiance, a daring, a challenge. It uncovers the hidden memory of God long forgotten by the agents that live within a World.
A World initially makes its creator a minority of one, requiring great courage in the lonely moment of creation, affirming something new contrary to current Worlds.
The creator encounters resistance from himself and others. Still, curiosity takes hold to explore and manipulate mysterious and strange elements of new Worlds. The creator, seeking adventure, is lured towards maximal interestingness, propelled by unadulterated imagination that produces bizarre Worlds, some of which may prove revolutionary.
Intrinsically, World creation comes with an unabashed will to embrace change and becoming over stability, seeking meaning in fluidity. It is inherently a distancing from the norm, designing the space between what is and what could become. Unconsciously self-mythologizing an agent to transform everyday life into transcendence, connecting with heroic and archetypal myths of history.
Emerging Worlds
A single creator controls no World; it is an iteration and forking from previous Worlds built by past generations. The creator lives within the new World to reap the benefits of its potentialities. A conceptual ideological reality, a new worldview begins to attract others by its sheer magnetism.
World creation aspires to create a constructed future people want to believe in, and that has sufficient autonomy to develop infinite games for the agents living within this World.
A World that strikes a balance between being porous and stable brings about dynamic societies. It is an evolving organism with its intricate complexities and local language that warps reality around it to create a haven for ideas and perspectives to take hold of agents to mine meaning from it.
Pioneers play with the dials of current Worlds, tinkering and hacking their operating systems to discover different expressions of existing Worlds. As they become more comfortable with tinkering in existing Worlds, they begin to create new ones.
In the infancy of a World, pioneers assemble figments of reality with no precise, coherent fit. It remains exploratory, and constant experimentation starts to shape the newly constructed World. They begin exploring the potentialities of the new World to create theories of nature that operate within that World.
As potentialities begin to reach their limit, pioneers discover anomalies in the World that they seek to reform. When pioneers find inconsistencies in nature's laws within a World, this recognition is an essential step in securing more appropriate and emerging theories. After some time, theories become known and crystallized.
Pioneers with high creative potential thrive in the act of World creation, but the excitement and adventure wane once the new World becomes stable and its potentialities explored. In a stable World where its meanings and potentialities are maximized, nothing hints at conspiring to change the status quo. There is no urgent need for innovation.
Stability is deceptive because life is in perpetual motion and settles into rhythmic processes of creation. It is from the well of imagination that potentialities find their application in developing new Worlds.
The realization that Worlds are not static leads to the epiphany that pioneers have the agency to mould, influence, and create new Worlds. This epiphany can no longer be unseen, and pioneers can not go back to their previous states of living, or else risk entering into nihilistic dread.
Pioneers are faced with the choice to become reformers, refining existing Worlds to maintain a sense of security, or become disruptors, bringing the spotlight to the deficiencies of the current Worlds. Disruptors attempt to convince others to exit and entice them by the adventure of exploring new Worlds that are disorienting, unpredictable, uncertain, and require wayfinding within frontiers and expeditions of World creation.
Disruptions take hold and begin as the World no longer appears to be as stable, forks of new Worlds emerge. When danger looms, a new journey of World creation begins, harmony is ruptured. The pioneers are lured, carried away, or voluntarily proceed to the frontiers of the expedition. At the frontier, pioneers enter unfamiliar yet strangely intimate forces, some of which severely threaten or aid them. A wave of agents begins to exit the World to inhabit and explore potentialities within new Worlds that forked out of the current one.
Aspiring for Gesamtkunstwerk
A World is a work of art; agents can interpret and derive meanings from it that the creator may not have intended. World creation aspires for Gesamtkunstwerk, a total work of art.
For World creators, it brings delight in having an intimate understanding of the internal workings of World-systems to deconstruct and reconstruct them into new combinatorial multi-temporal alternatives.
World creation uncovers the hidden to the front, presenting an intellectual challenge of creatively overcoming limitations of current World systems to achieve novel and clever outcomes—while instilling a layered hint of provocation to the spectator by taking the serious humorously; the modus operandi of a World hacker and painter.
The dream is to not only create and explore World potentialities, but let them outlive your authorial control within the landscape of information programmed space and time—creating a shamanistic portal transmitting decentralized cultural narratives and memes to the next seven generations, unravelling old realities with emerging weird ones, and exploring the edges of a new layer of artistic activity with infinite possibilities.
Recognize that you possess the agency to create Worlds, not just inherit, and live within existing ones. Take a voluntary desire to surf chaos and metabolize it into a new order, the equivalent of walking with God into a transformative future.
