Civilizations hiding in plain sight
2012. One idea on an island.
One world. Many civilizations.
Watch the
world take shape.
Three rules shape this world. Slice width follows each provider's documented AI revenue: the solid core is the known minimum, the grey borderland between neighbors is the unknown, and its front line moves. Every provider holds at most one hamlet, one town and one city, unlocked only by a released model of that class; each grows with every new release in that class. Open-source contributions are peaceful islands in the inner sea, sized by documented impact; closed moats are fortified islands on the outer sea, sized by weighted advantage.
