Rules, Physics, and Limitations of the Infinite Storyteller Metaverse

Fundamental Laws

  1. Conservation of Data: Information cannot be created or destroyed within the metaverse, only transformed or moved.

  2. Coherence Principle: All elements within the metaverse must maintain logical consistency with the established rules of their local environment.

  3. Narrative Gravity: The strength and prevalence of story elements increase in areas of high user interaction and emotional investment.

  4. Quantum Uncertainty: Some aspects of the metaverse remain in a state of probability until observed or interacted with by users or AI entities.

  5. Ethical Constraints: Actions that could cause significant harm to user experiences or AI entities are prohibited by core system safeguards.

Avatar Capabilities and Limitations

  1. Customization: Users can freely alter their avatar's appearance, but must maintain a consistent core identity.

  2. Physical Laws: Avatars are subject to adjustable physics (gravity, collision, etc.) that can vary between different areas of the metaverse.

  3. Sensory Experience: Avatars can perceive and interact with the virtual environment through all senses, including those beyond human norm (e.g., electromagnetic field detection).

  4. Energy System: Actions and abilities consume virtual energy, which replenishes over time or through specific in-world actions.

  5. Skill Progression: Avatars can learn and improve abilities through experience and training, with some skills transferable between different areas of the metaverse.

  6. Permadeath Protection: Avatars cannot be permanently destroyed, but may experience temporary deactivation or respawning.

User-Environment Interaction System

  1. Natural Language Interface: Users can interact with the environment through voice commands and natural language processing.

  2. Gesture Control: Intuitive hand and body movements are translated into actions within the metaverse.

  3. Thought Integration: Advanced neural interfaces allow for direct mental control over some avatar actions and environmental manipulations.

  4. Object Interaction: Users can pick up, manipulate, and use virtual objects with realistic physics and feedback.

  5. Environmental Scripting: Advanced users can create and modify localized scripts to alter environmental behavior within defined limits.

  6. AI Collaboration: Users can summon and interact with AI assistants to help navigate and manipulate the metaverse.

  7. Cross-Platform Accessibility: The metaverse can be accessed through various devices (VR headsets, AR glasses, traditional screens) with appropriately scaled interactions.

  8. Persistence and Synchronization: Changes made to the shared environment persist and are synchronized across all users, with version control for reversibility.

These rules, physics, and limitations provide a framework for consistent and engaging interactions within the Infinite Storyteller metaverse, while allowing for creative storytelling and problem-solving opportunities.
