How it works

Culture, in layers. One passport through all of them.

Cultural Layers gives structure to culture, from a place down to the person in front of you, so that a machine can reason about it and a person can find meaning in it.

The layers

What everything is made of

Each layer has a passport of its own: an identity, memories with their sources, and a record of what it has lived.

  1. Place

    A destination, a quarter, a coast: what it is known for, and what has happened there.

  2. Experience

    What you can do, eat, stay in, attend: art, music, history, food, adventure, events, gatherings for work.

  3. Host

    The person who cooks, makes, guides or opens the door, and the rules they set.

  4. Person

    You: what you have said, chosen and lived, and what that says about your taste.

  5. Meaning

    The story beneath: why this is made here, by these people, in this way.

The system

Six parts that work on the layers

  • Cultural Engine

    Computes over the layers: understands a sentence, finds what fits, solves a day so that nothing clashes, holds and books, and records every decision so it can learn.

    Running now: orchestrator · itinerary · booking

  • Cultural Assistant

    Discovery and exploring by conversation, from a loose idea to a confirmed booking without leaving the thread. On a screen, by voice, or through any device.

    Running now: assistant · conversation API · MCP

  • Cultural Curator

    Chooses a short, varied slate for one person, with a reason for every choice, from what is bookable here and what exists beyond it.

    Running now: curation · research

  • Cultural Reels

    Layers generated and curated into a short narrated story made for you: a hook, the heart of the day, a change of pace, a close. Every frame says whether it is bookable here or found on the web.

    Running now: reels

  • Cultural Experience

    Live it before you go. Your day, walked through ahead of time as you: where it suits you and where it may not. In Living Worlds it becomes a full simulation, with the season, the weather and the surprises of the place.

  • Cultural Agents

    Act for people. Yours arranges and asks before it books; a host's answers in their name inside their rules. The two exchange typed messages both people can read.

    Running now: guest agent · host agent

  • Cultural Passport

    What brings it all together. Every person, host, experience and place carries one. The Engine reads it, the Curator and the Reels are shaped by it, the Agents act within it, and everything that happens is written back to it, so it keeps learning. Yours is yours to read, correct, export and delete.

    Running now: lives, stored on this platform. Its long-term home is Living Worlds.
