Root Autonomous World：A permissionless RGB open world

Autonomous Worlds have hard diegetic boundaries, formalised introduction rules, and no need for privileged individuals to keep the World alive.

The real world is a complex example of an autonomous world that is derived from strict physical rules and does not require any entity to control its live. Man-made worlds usually require access permission. The access rules for the Middle-earth from "The Lord of the Rings" are the creative will of the novel author. A world controlled by privileged individuals cannot be called an autonomous world.

A more mysterious explanation is that the Creator created the Earth's galaxy and universe. This is a set of sophisticated and elegant world operation structures, so that the world can continue to grow infinitely after the Creator leaves.

Blockchain is an autonomous world, and Satoshi Nakamoto is called its creator. The blockchain has a set of decentralized rules. Under these rules, anyone can join the blockchain world in the form of an "address" as long as they abide by the rules. No one can approve or reject you.

The autonomous world does not need to rely on any privileged individual or organization to exist. Any address that loses activity and any node (except the last node) leaves the blockchain cannot make the blockchain disappear. It becomes an objective existence. Just like Mars, which is thousands of kilometers away, you can forget its existence, but you can always observe it using the rules of its existence (astronomical telescope, blockchain node).

To create an autonomous world, we need:

1. Genesis Rules
2. At least one person who agrees with the rule
3. Everyone can create at will

Genesis Rules

Civilization

There are 10,000 civilizations in Root's autonomous world. Each civilization has its own unique history and culture, which depends on the creation of the civilization's occupants and advocates.

Epoch

Civilization is constantly changing and developing, and will enter a new era after a certain number of blocks. During the era change period, civilizations will be randomly assigned different attributes of the new Epoch, such as geography, resources, weather, etc.

The total amount of material in the autonomous world is limited, but the development of civilization is unlimited. Only some civilizations will survive in each Epoch.

Community

The Community decides on the changes in the new era. Any consensus member can propose a proposal to the Community, and the Community members vote to decide and implement the changes in the new era.

Extended protocol

Without Community permission, any participant can create extensions to the underlying rules, but must have the ability to write ideas into RGB contracts.

Alliance

Civilizations can form alliances, and the rules of the alliance are negotiated and formulated by the participants and exist in the form of an RGB contract.

Casino

This is a typical form of expansion. Any third party can build its own casino expansion, and civilizations can choose to participate in this gameplay.

Market

Through transactions, mortgages, loans, etc., civilizations can participate in economic activities on any market constructed by a third party.

Others

Any extension protocol that can be implemented by the RGB contract.

Consensus

The autonomous world will die when the last consensus person leaves, but at the same time, as long as at least one consensus person believes in the system, the autonomous world will once again become an objective existence, this is the characteristic of blockchain.

We hope that Root can witness the development of theory and practice in the field of autonomous worlds and build a "Castle in the Sky" of the RGB protocol.
