The Universal Asset framework series

I’m going to list here the different entries on my Universal Asset framework series, on how we might build a truly open, interoperable, and customizable Metaverse. It’s recommended that you read them in order.

1. What’s the vision?
2. A first-principles approach to the Metaverse.
3. You will own everything and be flashy.
4. Universal Primitives are an exercise in abstraction.
5. Blockchain agnostic Metaverses, with the help of tokens and character DIDs.
6. Universal functionality of interoperable Metaverse assets.
7. Plug-and-play game mechanics for the Metaverse (Part 1).
8. Universal Spells. Interoperable magical assets for the Metaverse.
9. Plug-and-play game mechanics for the Metaverse (Part 2: Electric Boogaloo).
10. Scaling the Metaverse. To infinity and beyond.
11. The Universal Library. A coordination layer for the Metaverse.
12. A bird’s-eye view of the Universal Asset framework.
13. Digital skeletons, as a solution to the Metaverse interoperability problem.
14. Polycubes as potential candidates for Universal Primitives of interoperable virtual objects.
15. Digital matter. Or how to materially constrain the Metaverse.
16. Dual token models for materially and energetically constraining the Metaverse. And helping solve the bot problem of Play-to-Earn.
17. Universal Materials as canonical representations for Universal Assets.
18. Enhancing role-playing in the Metaverse with a new UP, the Universal Attribute Matrix.
19. Color, as Universal Magical Primitives.
20. Universal Primitives are simply predictable inputs.
21. Magic primitives and systemic games as a solution to everlasting virtual worlds.
22. 3 magical damage types for the Metaverse.
23. Universal primitives as in-game blueprints/recipes.

And if you want a quick TL;DR as a taste of what’s to come, take a look at this short presentation of the framework:
