Excited to share my latest essay:

"Natural Composability in Autonomous Worlds"

https://etherplay.io/blog/natural-composability/

This mechanism might already be familiar to you as it permeates the world of crypto protocols but when coupled with Autonomous Worlds the sky is the limit!

A glimpse of the mechanism can be seen in DeFi with "Vampire attacks" or  the Curve Wars (https://every.to/almanack/curve-wars)
It is also well represented in the Loot ecosystem with all the derivatives, or even CryptoKitties in 2018 with KittyRace for example

But it is in the context of #AutonomousWorld that it really shines: 

"Natural Composability literally enables infinite possibilities for Autonomous Worlds and, almost magically, it does so without the need for centralized coordination nor permission."

It works by letting the world be extended by new rules making use of its evolving state, without the need for changes in the original code.

"From this new set of rules and players emerges an extended world with possibilities that did not exist when the world was put in place."

We are exploring this with https://stratagems.world
where players can expand the simple initial rules to bring new dimensions to the world.

"we believe this mechanism of composition will be a core part of many new games that embrace immutability and become Autonomous Worlds."

"when composability is built upon worlds with meaning that extends beyond the simple exchange of value, then we can start to imagine a far more exciting picture of world building"

If any of this has got your curiosity triggered, note that I am going to present that exact topic at the Autonomous World Assembly in Istanbul

Can't wait to discuss this fascinating topic

What is Natural Composability?

A mechanism to expand a world with new rules without requiring any changes in the initial code.

It does so without requiring pre-established API or hooks but instead relies on community, incentives and adoption to shape the future of such world.
