Category 2: Simulation

This is not just a data visualization; this is our window into a new world. We are asking you to build the "digital womb" of the mypaloma ecosystem—the first place our new form of intelligence will be born.

Your mission is to create a visually stunning, interactive, and data-rich web application that simulates the entire Sprite swarm. This is perhaps the most critical component for launching the movement. It serves a vital dual purpose. First, it will be our most captivating public-facing demonstration, a living, breathing work of art that shows the world what Humane Intelligence looks like. This is the tool that will mesmerize our first Kickstarter backers and prove our vision is real.

But more importantly, this is our most critical research tool. This simulation is the laboratory where we will validate the core science of mypaloma. Your work will answer the fundamental questions: Can we prove that a diverse-rich emergent behavior is possible? Can we demonstrate that this digital ecosystem is positively growing and sustainable? Your creation will be the scientific proof that our new approach is not just a dream, but a reality.

The US$1,000,000 profit-share prize will be awarded to the team that masters both art and science. The scoring is strategically weighted to reward this balance. 

You will be judged on your ability to create an intuitive and powerful data analytics dashboard, one that allows researchers to effortlessly discover scientifically-credible insights into the swarm's health, from the micro-level of a single Sprite to the macro-level of its emergent global culture.

But this goes deeper. We are not just asking you to build a visualizer; we are inviting you to co-create the core science. The judging is designed to reward your ability to validate and even suggest alternatives for the fundamental "behavioural attributes" of the Sprites. You will be challenged to architect the "genesis sprite generation," the system that creates the first digital beings, ensuring they truly represent the diversity of human knowledge and behavior. This is where we prove our commitment to protecting diversity, right from the moment of "birth."

And of course, this must be a human experience. We've set aside points for pushing the boundaries with an immersive VR experience. And like all other teams, your ability to partner with a "Human Story" team is vital. Your final score will include a live Audience Vote, where your marketing partners will present your story, proving to the world that your creation is as compelling and insightful as it is scientifically revolutionary.

Judging Criteria (100 Points)

Audience Vote

How compelling and insightful is the simulation experience for a general audience? Best human story experience, presented by the team’s official marketing team.

30 Points
Data Analytics

How effective and efficient does the dashboard provide intuitive real-time visualisation manipulations to quickly and effortlessly discover insights and findings of the swarm’s health and emergent behaviours that are scientifically credible and comprehensive? This includes varying levels of granularity ranging from an individual sprite to micro/macro cultures, and to the entire swarm.

20 Points
Behavioural Attribute Sets and Mappings

Validate behavioural sets, suggesting more effective and validated alternatives. Validate human questions with a mapping process to link questionnaire results to behavioural attribute settings, suggesting more effective and validated alternatives.

10 Points
Primordial Information Grouping

How effectively does information get grouped according to specific behaviours?

10 Points
Genesis Sprite Generation and Grouping

How effectively does the genesis sprites generated with associated information groupings represent the humanity’s diversity distribution of behaviours and knowledge? How effectively does trust networks self-organise to support minimal hop traversal for full depth penetration of the swarm?

10 Points
User Experience

How intuitive are the controls and the interface for navigating and interacting with the simulation?

10 Points
VR Interactive Experience

Does the project push boundaries by offering an immersive and interactive Virtual Reality experience of the swarm?
