Research

Tested against the real world.

Living Worlds forecasts life expectancy twenty years ahead and splits survey answers the way real populations did, from America to thirty-one African countries. Its crowds move more like real ones than standard crowd models, it predicts how close people come to a real robot better than robot-blind crowds, and it predicts how rooms sound, how daylight falls and how power flows. Each result was registered before it ran, with the bar it had to clear, and scored on data held out until then; the misses are published with the results. Each one opens to its protocol, result and scorer.

Areas

What it does.

5 results

Scale

1.36 billion life-months a second on one GPU: simple lives at scale; voiced lives are a smaller layer. And effects that only appear once there are enough of them.

6 results

Populations

Simulated populations that answer the way real ones did, group by group, on questions held back until the end.

6 results

Lifetimes

Births, families and life expectancy, forecast years ahead and scored when those years arrive.

1 result

Agents with a life

Agents that carry a whole life and remember what a person said.

2 results

Buildings and grids

How buildings feel and use energy, and how power flows to them, for the people living in them, against measured buildings and networks.

1 result

Machines

Robots and machines at work among people, against what real people did around real machines.

3 results

Crowds

Simulated people who move among each other the way real ones did, in scenes and experiments never run.

4 results

Sound and space

How a room sounds in arrangements and at positions never measured, and how daylight falls on days never seen, predicted from what was measured.

Four rooms never seen, from twelve measured positions

Four rooms never used before, measured at 12 positions each and predicted everywhere else: the learned field beat the calibrated formula with memory at 1,089 of 1,282 positions. Memory of the nearest measurements alone scored higher.

Thirty-one African countries, split by place and age

Given each country's national answer, Living Worlds split 1,556 questions it had never seen by city, countryside and age, inside the survey's own noise in 30 of 31 countries.

Power through feeders without a meter, a year nobody had read

The power through 40 unmetered feeders, every fifteen minutes for a year it had never seen: ahead of physics and a learned model in every season.

People around a working robot, on days nobody had opened

How close real people came to a real robot in a room full of people carrying loads, predicted better than a robot-blind crowd in 7 of 8 recordings.
