Universe, simply explained

Universe is composed of spaces people can move through, not interfaces people click through.

Presence matters.Context matters.Where you are shapes what you can do.

Orbit (Navigation)

Orbit is the navigation layer of the Universe.

  • discover universes, worlds, and rooms
  • understand what exists
  • jump directly to where activity is happening

Orbit shows you where you are in the universe: your location and position.

Use it to discover and navigate what's around you.

Think of Orbit as orientation, not hierarchy.

The Structure

Universes

A Universe is a first-class environment. It can represent:

  • an organization
  • a community
  • a project
  • a brand
  • a personal ecosystem

Worlds

A World is a functional domain inside a Universe. Worlds organize intent, not people.

  • Work world
  • Learning world
  • Market world
  • Social world
  • Event world

Rooms

Rooms are where things actually happen. They're used for:

  • collaboration
  • study
  • events
  • shops
  • hangouts
  • gameplay

Rooms are spatial, contextual, and alive.

Maps & room templates

Rooms are built using maps.

Universe provides room templates (proven layouts designed for specific use cases) so people can start fast and build with confidence.

Templates are optional. Advanced users can customize or create their own.

Membership & access

All spaces are open to explore.

Membership exists at the world level and grants capabilities, not exclusivity.

Members may:

  • edit rooms
  • define areas
  • manage layouts
  • access restricted zones

Areas & permissions

Access control is spatial, not global.

Using the Area Editor, members define zones inside rooms and control:

  • who can enter
  • who can interact
  • who can edit

This allows open spaces with protected cores, without private worlds.

Editors

Creativity with guardrails.
