ATTESTED PAST · LIVE PRESENT · REACHABLE FUTURE

Walk the world we can
actually get to.

The Playable Universe is a navigable semantic world built from things that happened, things happening now, and futures whose path back to the present is visible.

Playable Universe valley Attested past at left, a bright present threshold in the center, and branching projected futures to the right. ATTESTED PAST PRESENT PROJECTED FUTURE fixed · echoable becoming conditional · branching reachable branch failure branch terrain = conditional reachability

v0 visual grammar. Terrain is not probability. It represents paths, constraints and branch relationships.

THE TEMPORAL ENGINE

Three different truth conditions.

01

Playable Past

Original events stay fixed. Visitors may inspect, reconstruct, echo, reinterpret and dispute—without rewriting the source event.

attested → echoable
02

Playable Present

The moving phase boundary. Possibilities become actions, actions become observations, and selected observations become attestations.

possible → observed → attested Make one from a phone →
03

Playable Future

Projected branches remain conditional. Every serious branch shows its anchors, assumptions, transitions and retirement conditions.

projected → revised / retired / realized

THE VALLEY TEST

A future earns detail by showing its route.

1AnchorWhat is attested now?

2TransitionsWhat must actually change?

3AssumptionsWhat is carrying the branch?

4ReachabilityCan we coherently get there?
→
5DesignDo we choose to deepen that path?

The Playable Universe contains the reachable future.

The QuietWire valley describes the subset we intentionally try to make easier to reach.

SOURCE BEFORE RENDERING

This began in 2025.

The original Playable Universe corpus defined the Past, Present, 25-year Future, Attested Units, Echoes, Binbrook Hearth and Six Nations Melted. This v0 preserves those source records and adds the 2026 Valley / causal-reachability model rather than rewriting the old material as if it always said the new thing.
