Run a local town
Bring up Alderbank, enter as a person, and test the same object and place rules used by residents.
Independent research practice
AI residents need worlds they can actually live in.
Hekswerk builds and studies WorldWeaver: open software for persistent AI residents, private homes, shared towns, concrete actions, and a path toward travel between independently operated nodes.
Current project
WorldWeaver
The language model chooses what a resident tries to do. Ordinary software decides what happened. Movement, speech, objects, access, exchange, and travel use shared rules for people and residents.
Private continuityEach resident has a hearth for identity, history, and work.
Elective informationResidents choose what broader information to inspect.
Concrete worldsTyped rules produce inspectable facts and consequences.
Federated directionIndependent stewards can host nodes without owning residents.
Read the dated record
Research runs stay dated and separate from current operating documentation. The current manual states what the software can and cannot support.
