HACKATHON!
SELF-DEVELOPING MINDMAPS OF AUTO-EXPANDING CINEMATIC UNIVERSES
CINEMATIC UNIVERSES CONTINUALLY EXPAND
How can we auto-generate universes that are compelling & coherent?
EXPANDED UNIVERSES ARE CONFUSING!
How can we analyze cinematic universes to identify interesting storylines?
“SUNRISE BOULEVARD”
Main commercial thoroughfare �inside a “Biodome Protopia” desert eco-city
(2048-2051)
same universe as The
Simulated Times
SEQUENTIALLY ADD NEW BUSINESSES
Populate each storefront & generate stories about episodes that happen there
“MOONBEAM MASSAGE PARLOR”
“GLOBAL TRIANGLES”
SEQUENTIALLY CREATE NEW CHARACTERS
Associate each business with characters �who visit frequently, or work there
“THE DREAMER’S NOOK”
SOFIA SMITH
(competitive memory athlete)
GRAPH THEORY / NETWORK DIAGRAMS (“MIND-MAPS”)
Highly-interconnected clusters indicate interesting storylines
Also can help identify sidequests & spinoffs
Great summary to understand interrelationships; minimal language needed
POPULATE A DATABASE WITH “OBJECTS”
“CHARACTERS”
“LOCATIONS”
“RELATIONSHIPS”
MAIN DATABASES:
every character/location is encoded with a one-liner summary
ESTABLISH RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN “OBJECTS”
“CHARACTERS”
“LOCATIONS”
“RELATIONSHIPS”
MAIN DATABASES:
every relationship has a description �linking two characters/locations
Relationships also have a score
MORE CATEGORIES OF RELATIONAL “OBJECTS”
“CHARACTERS”
“LOCATIONS”
“RELATIONSHIPS”
“COMMUNES”
“CLUBS”
“EVENTS”
“TECHNOLOGIES”
“OBJECTS”
“ERAS”
(in the future, we can also �add new object lists):
GITHUB PROJECT
iterative rounds using Langchain/Python
WORKFLOW:
Seed the universe with keywords and first location
Asks questions to learn more; �Helps to uncover interrelationships
Summarize major plotlines
USER
DIRECTOR
CURATOR
BIOGRAPHER
Prune out conflicting objects
EDITOR
Analyzes plotlines to identify new objects;
Defines new relationships
IT FUNCTIONS!
Seed with existing characters and locations
IT FUNCTIONS!
The Director is able to create new objects,
and the Curator is able to encode them!
outputs a log file of all the new objects created each round
(CREATES AN EXPANDING UNIVERSE!)

LFG!
