World Summary

Vision

By 2035, people live with a better sense of time. Not clock time, but threadtime—shared narratives braided across generations.

Transformative technology

Memory Looms

Devices that stitch personal experiences into tactile, readable threads passed between people and generations.

What kind of AI exists in your world?

Gentle and seasonal. Helps people remember, anticipate, and pause. Feels more like a rhythm than a machine.

New or Reformed Institution

The Continuity Guild: A non-state alliance focused on protecting intergenerational knowledge, grief practices, and shared rituals.

Transformed Sector

Family & Care

Care work is no longer invisible. It’s the cultural center. Communities share responsibility and ritual, aided by reflective tech.

A Major Crisis Overcome

Collapse of meaning and attention in the early 2030s. Rebalanced by a slow tech renaissance.
