THE GOLD MINE: A LUDIC ARCHITECTURE

摘要

The Great Southern Village, or GSV, is a post-scarcity, post-singularity settlement that forms part of the New Albion system. While it is primarily an extension of the capital that stretches from the orbital in the west to the estuary mouth in the east, and is approximately 50 clicks long and 10 clicks wide, the GSV is an autonomous urban region with its own independent system of control and governance. The settlement is a highly dense, highly populated zone controlled by a network of artificial intelligences (Als). The GSV, along with the greater system of New Albion, works on the single ideological concept that nothing is wasted; all resources - biological, material and energy - are controlled optimally, and every single atom is accounted for.
