The Lab now has eight browser experiments to try. The first seven studios were collected on 28 October, and the fictional-catchment Simulator joined them on 29 October.
Start with a landscape, a possible future, a disagreement or a small world with rules to discover:
- Simulator lets you change an invented catchment and look at delayed and downstream consequences. Its values and outcomes are fictional. It cannot predict environmental outcomes or support land-management decisions.
- The Century Lab works backwards from an imagined future and asks what assumptions brought you there.
- Three DUAL studios explore separate interpretations, rules for exchanging messages and a kit for a newcomer to try.
- Three XRT studios let you navigate different representations, invent visual messages and investigate an invented machine.
The studios work without an AI connection. Use fictional, non-sensitive material, read each experiment’s limits and export anything you want to keep before closing or reloading. These are exploratory tools, and their results do not establish scientific findings.
There is also a separate optional AI companion. In a compatible browser, you can choose a model to download and run locally. Downloads use data, storage and memory; only the smaller model has a recorded browser generation test.
You can instead review and copy a prepared question for Qwen, DeepSeek, Mistral, ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude. Those services set their own account requirements, usage limits and privacy terms. Your Lab work is not sent to them automatically. You choose what to paste.
There is quite a lot to poke at. Try one experiment, keep a note of what surprised you, and see whether the next attempt changes your mind. The wolf has requested a laboratory coat. We have started with a notebook.
