PROJECT 03
INNERWORLD
A generative multi-agent open world (pivoted to Midreal.ai)
InnerWorld began as an exploration into creating persistent, generative environments populated by autonomous AI agents. The project aimed to build a digital world where agents with distinct personalities, goals, and memories could interact with each other and with human participants.
This experimental platform evolved into Midreal.ai, expanding the original concept to focus on creating more immersive and coherent narrative experiences through multi-agent interactions and emergent storytelling.
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
Identity Formation
InnerWorld explores how digital entities develop distinct identities through interaction and memory, creating a sense of self that evolves over time through experiences and relationships.
Stylistic Expression
Agents develop unique aesthetic preferences and modes of expression, from fashion and design sensibilities to communication styles, creating a rich tapestry of cultural exchange within the world.
Emergent Culture
As agents interact over time, they collectively generate cultural patterns, trends, and shared references that were not explicitly programmed but emerge organically from their interactions.
TECHNICAL APPROACH
Agent Architecture
Each agent operates with a sophisticated cognitive model that includes perception, memory, reasoning, planning, and emotional components, allowing for complex and believable behaviors.
Multi-agent Coordination
A specialized orchestration system manages interactions between agents, ensuring coherent conversations and actions while maintaining individual agent autonomy.
Narrative Engine
An underlying system tracks narrative tension, themes, and character arcs to guide the emergence of compelling stories without imposing rigid structures.
EVOLUTION TO MIDREAL
InnerWorld evolved into Midreal.ai, which focuses more specifically on creating narrative experiences through multi-agent interactions. This pivot allowed for a more focused application of the technology in areas where it showed the most promise.
Midreal.ai
Midreal builds on InnerWorld's foundation to create more structured narrative experiences while maintaining the emergent qualities that made the original concept compelling.

Visual Language
InnerWorld's visual identity draws from avant-garde fashion, experimental typography, and digital glitch aesthetics to create a dreamlike representation of consciousness and identity formation in digital space.
Stylistic Evolution
The project's aesthetic evolves over time, with agents developing their own visual styles and preferences that influence the world's appearance, creating an ever-changing landscape of expression.
RESEARCH IMPLICATIONS
Artificial Social Intelligence
InnerWorld serves as a testbed for theories of social cognition and interaction, allowing researchers to observe how artificial agents develop social behaviors and relationships over time.
Narrative Intelligence
The project explores how coherent and meaningful narratives can emerge from decentralized interactions, challenging traditional approaches to computational storytelling.
Human-AI Collaboration
By allowing humans to participate in agent-populated worlds, InnerWorld provides insights into new forms of creative collaboration between humans and AI systems.
Persistent AI Systems
The project addresses technical challenges in creating AI systems that maintain coherent identities and memories over extended periods, a crucial capability for many real-world applications.
