Research
What is measured?
This prototype uses authored game rules. Its money, health changes and event odds are not measured population statistics.
The graphs join five-year snapshots. Markers sit at the recorded review age, not an exact event date.
Ten points are a game constraint. Reasoning, empathy and strength are not biological opposites.
The neighbourhood is metaphorical. Nearby buildings represent parts of a life, not a real map.
Marriage and family milestones follow your choices. Dengue, job loss and pregnancy are not yet generated by this model.
Body, mind and experience
Inherited differences and environments interact. Heritability describes population variation, not an unchangeable percentage of a person.
Big Five traits, reasoning, emotional skills and empathy are distinct. Personality can change. No trait prohibits a career.
These game indices are not psychological tests or dopamine measurements. Comparisons use modeled paths, not a real population average.
The world behind the chair
The chair-service premise draws on the author's Two Layers and The Convenience. This software does not claim to provide physical immersion or medical treatment.
Universe 25 was an enclosed-mouse experiment, not proof that human prosperity causes extinction.
