simulai.dev
A friendly garden for building small societies, watching their rituals drift, and learning how memory, rules, weather, and exchange make culture visible.
archive tray
field notes under glass
Sepia observations gather like leaves at the pond edge.
ritual loop
shared motion
Agents repeat tiny ceremonies until a pattern becomes a place.
weather bead
soft rules
Rain, hunger, rumor, and patience change the path of every bead.

The Village Table
Each tray is a layer of the miniature world: people, memory, exchange, environment, story, and the soft boundary where rules become customs.
people / tokens
neighbor signal
Glossy counters turn toward nearby voices. A greeting becomes a path; a path becomes a neighborhood.
rules / pond
rule pond
Simple local choices ripple outward without becoming a cold dashboard.
memory / clay
memory clay
Every visit presses a faint mark into the table: kinship, debt, jokes, songs, repairs.
exchange / market
market rhythm
Baskets, favors, and stories circulate as warm loops instead of sterile transactions.
story / festival
festival loop
When many small timings align, the model begins to sing: lanterns, meals, games, and repair crews share one pulse.
environment / weather
archive weather
A cloud over the pond changes what the village remembers tomorrow.

Observations, Not Testimonials
Faded cards sit below curved glass, as though a museum kiosk learned to keep a family album for simulated societies.
market stalls, eighth rain cycle — bargaining pauses when the school bell rings.
communal meal — one extra bowl changes tomorrow’s kinship graph.
old classroom — copied gestures become a language of repair.
the photograph is imaginary; the observation is modeled

The Living Model
When the trays loosen, paths connect them into one settlement map. Simulations become humane when agents, shared memory, and environment are seen together.
