Dynastic strategy
Succession, offices, obligations, factions, and incomplete intelligence across generations.
Application atlas
One history engine.
Many ways in.
Canwu keeps the simulation authoritative and the presentation replaceable. These are design territories, not locked templates: combine them, extend them, or build a client category that does not exist yet.
Games
Grand strategy worlds
Model the world beneath the map: commands, delayed knowledge, scheduled consequences, institutions, and competing systems that settle in a repeatable order.
Campaign simulation
Movement, logistics, command delay, reconnaissance, and causally attributable outcomes.
Persistent worlds
A headless authority that can keep simulating while any client, map, or renderer connects.
Research
Historical process laboratories
Turn assumptions into inspectable plugins, run repeatable scenarios, fork the timeline, and compare outcomes without losing the event evidence that produced them.
Counterfactual studies
Fork from a snapshot, change one decision or rule set, then diff resulting worlds.
Institutional models
Represent period-specific records and transitions without hard-coding one region into the kernel.
Reproducible experiments
Use deterministic random streams, manifests, journals, and state commitments.
Agents
Multi-agent historical worlds
Give agents a stable semantic interface across scenarios while keeping each one inside the knowledge, authority, and actions of the actor it represents.
Diplomacy sandboxes
Agents negotiate and act from different seats with different information.
Decision evaluation
Measure choices against legal actions, causal outcomes, and actor-visible evidence.
Narrative participants
Let characters inspect, act, wait, and explain without direct access to ground truth.
Learning & public history
Explorable historical systems
Let learners see how information age, uncertainty, institutions, and delayed consequences change decisions—not just read the final date in a timeline.
Museum interactives
Drive touch tables, projected maps, spatial installations, or guided exhibits.
Classroom sandboxes
Replay a scenario, test an intervention, and discuss the recorded chain of causes.
Living archives
Connect structured records to an explorable world model and multiple perspectives.
