Stage 1: Research and Planning Goal: In-depth study of technologies required for creating a virtual universe, analyzing existing solutions, and developing a detailed implementation plan.
Tasks:
— Analysis of existing simulations and blockchain solutions
— Studying approaches to emulating emergent behavior and modeling evolution
— Assessing technical requirements
— Assembling a team

Stage 2: Technical Architecture and Prototyping (MVP)
Goal: Developing a minimal working prototype that demonstrates basic emergent principles.
Tasks:
— Designing the system architecture
— Creating a database and model elements for initial simulations
— Integrating basic blockchain functionality (a thin layer for testing smart contracts and tokens)
— Developing a minimal UI/UX to showcase system functionality

Stage 3: Testing and Optimization
Goal: Evaluate the prototype’s performance and reliability, identify weaknesses, and refine the system.
Tasks:
— Test the simulation for stability and correct operation
— Optimize the MVP’s performance
— Gather feedback from potential users or investors to collect recommendations

Stage 4: Preparation for Launch and Promotion
Goal: Present the MVP to potential users and investors, attract funding.
Tasks:
— Product presentation and demonstration to attract investment
— Marketing and audience engagement
— Organizing a crowdfunding campaign and token issuance

Stage 5: Scaling and Project Development
Goal: Expand functionality, add complex models, and optimize for attracting new users.
Tasks:
— Develop additional features, improve model quality
— Support and further develop the project
— Attract new audiences and engage with the community

Stage 6: «Real-Time Evolution»
Goal: Presenting the project on a global scale with an open demonstration of evolution simulation, allowing participants and viewers to observe the development of virtual life in real time.
Key Elements of This Stage:
1. Interactive Launch:
— Hosting a global online event where anyone can observe the system’s evolutionary processes through a web interface.
— Allowing users to interact with the simulation via «user-driven mutations,» adding their own parameters and analyzing their impact.
2. Virtual Evolution Museum:
— Creating a visual exhibition of key evolutionary stages in the simulation (e.g., from «primitive molecules» to «advanced forms»).
— Integration with VR/AR for deeper immersion.

3. Gamification of the Process:
— Launching a contest for creating «conceptual mutations,» where users can suggest changes to the simulation environment.
— Rewards for the most successful ideas that impact evolution (in tokens or other incentives).
4. Scientific Discoveries:
— Engaging the scientific community to analyze simulation data.
— Providing opportunities to publish research results to demonstrate the project’s practical value.
5. Community Governance:
— Transitioning to a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) model, allowing the community to vote on the future direction of the simulation.
— Attracting investors and new participants through token distribution.
6. Public Goal:
— Setting an ambitious objective: evolving the simulation to a level where it can independently propose a hypothesis about the origin of life or create fundamentally new forms of evolution.
