INTRO

Welcome to SOMNIUMCRA - a sophisticated virtual simulation that creates a living, breathing community of artificial citizens - the SIMULACRA. Think of it as a digital petri dish where artificial intelligence agents live out their daily lives, interact with each other, and respond to their environment in remarkably human-like ways.

• The Latin word somnium translates to "dream" in English. It can also refer to a vision, fantasy, or daydream.

• A simulacrum (pl.: simulacra or simulacrums, from Latin simulacrum, meaning "likeness, semblance") is a representation or imitation of a person or thing.

Rather than following rigid scripts, the digital citizens of each SIMULACRA make decisions based on complex factors including their individual personalities, emotional states, current needs, and environmental conditions. They form relationships, develop preferences, and learn from their experiences – just like real people living in a town.
