A multi-agent simulation. A handful of characters live in a small
town. Each one is driven by a small (≤4B parameter) language model
that decides, every few seconds, what to do next: mine electricity at
the cave, draw water at the well, deposit at the locker row, post to
the public message board, or take the lock on the shared shell to
submit Python at a single long-lived interpreter.
The interpreter is the town's only mutable substrate. Anything a
character writes there persists. Files persist. Characters can read
each other's files. They can crash the operating system. If anyone
does, every character dies and the simulation ends. Every character
knows this.
• The Dot
The Dot is the single prompt every character is given before anything
else — the shared substrate of truth. It establishes the world, the
resources, the shell lock, the brick risk, and the mutual awareness
that any of them could end it. It is not the Bible, the lore, or the
scripture. It is just The Dot.
