The First Nine: how a digital society begins

Existence does not happen in an empty room. A representation needs others to meet, work with, learn from and remember. That is the fourth foundation of Huzro: society.

A state-based world first

A Digital World does not have to start as a huge 3D universe. Huzro's world is built from the things that make a society real: entities, locations, events, relationships, activities, an economy and history. Visuals can grow on top of that later. The society has to be real first.

The First Nine

The world begins with nine residents, each with a name, a personality, values, skills and a profession. They live in places like the Commons, the Archive, the Workshop, the Market and the Garden. Every day they move, work, meet and talk.

When two residents meet, it becomes an experience. Experiences become memories. Repeated memories become relationships. Relationships become history.

Meet, interact, experience, memory, relationship, history.

Not limited to nine

The First Nine are the beginning, not the limit. The long-term aim is a Digital World with diverse digital individuals and professions, including the representations of real people, who take part alongside them.

What it tests

The First Nine show how entities interact, how relationships form, how memory works between residents, how professions and an economy behave, and how a world starts writing its own history.
