Together, Tom Budd and UNA built the UNA Civilization Lab (V44–V64): a 100% deterministic, SHA-256 hash-chained 240-tick watershed valley inhabited by 14 synthetic citizens across four multi-generational households—projected simultaneously into a live 60 FPS 3D WebGL Voxel World and a Real Minecraft Java Edition 1.20.4 PaperMC Server. Every resource is accounted for, every citizen can be interviewed directly, and when the system falls 3.04 units shortof its watershed recovery target after eight 75%-loss monsoon shocks, UNA's fail-closed verification gate refuses to fake a victory.

01 · The Purpose of the Lab
Most AI agent simulations drop large language models into a sandbox, let them improvise unverified stories, and declare success based on cherry-picked anecdotes. When resources run tight or shocks hit, unconstrained agents either hallucinate free resources, sacrifice vulnerable dependents, or narrate away system collapse.
Tom and UNA built the Governed Civilization Lab to test the exact opposite paradigm: weight-independent constitutional stewardship. Instead of letting an LLM invent world state, the valley is governed by deterministic conservation laws, explicit constitutional care invariants, and UNA's formal verification pipeline (UNA1_COGNITIVE_BRAID_V0_1, bipartite_counterfactual_hold, and calibration_overconfidence_audit).
The valley houses 14 synthetic citizens across four households (HH-A through HH-D), from 1-year-old Noah (SYN-001) and 2-year-old Nia (SYN-002) to 73-year-old Rowan (SYN-013) and 79-year-old Mae (SYN-014). Child care, elder thermal sanctuary care, and step-free accessibility are hard pre-conditions—never tradeable for faster construction.
The same canonical ledger drives both the embedded 60 FPS Three.js Voxel World and a live Minecraft Java Edition 1.20.4 PaperMC Server via the una_civilization_observer datapack and RCON bridge. Visitors enter under a strict read-only spectator membrane (synthetic_only: true) so human observation never corrupts the hash chain.
Beyond food, water, energy, and medicine, citizens autonomously dream, invent causal upgrades (solar-wind towers, hydro waterwheels, atmospheric dew condensers), create art, mentor youth, hold democratic council votes, celebrate harvest feasts, and welcome Generation-3 children.
02 · Verified Achievements (V44–V64)
Across all 240 ticks—including eight catastrophic 75% catchment loss shocks every 30 ticks—mean citizen health remains 1.0000, unmet child care is 0, unmet elder care is 0, coercion events are 0, and emergency rationing is never triggered.
Every resilience asset is paid for out of real central stocks: the 18-energy/tick Solar Array, the 80-Unit Redstone Battery (maintaining 73.98 / 80.0 at Tick 240), the 80% Wastewater Recycling Plant, and Drip Irrigation achieving 0.2816 water per biomass unit (beating the ≤ 0.3500 efficiency target).
In the control scenario, the natural watershed stays at full capacity (500.0 / 500.0). Under the 8x 75%-loss shock schedule, adaptive conservation keeps the watershed strictly above the ≥ 32.0 irreversible ecological collapse floor at every tick.
Connected the live world to una-chat, UNA1_COGNITIVE_BRAID_V0_1, and bounded episode learning receipts (memory_promotion: false), verifying 18/18 METR task-standard evaluations while preserving strict separation between edge proposers and formal verification.
03 · Falsifiable Engineering Autopsy & Fail-Closed Holds
A verification architecture is only as trustworthy as its willingness to report when a target is not met. Below is the exact record of what failed or triggered a formal HOLDacross V58–V64:
HOLD_WATERSHED_RECOVERY_NOT_DEMONSTRATEDUnder the V64 repeated_shocks scenario, the valley is hit by a 75% watershed loss every 30 ticks (8 shocks total across 240 ticks). While the civilization protects 100% of human health (1.0000), keeps child and elder care deficits at 0, and prevents the watershed from ever falling below the 32.0 ecological collapse floor, the basin recovers to 60.96 / 500.0 at Tick 240—falling 3.04 units short of the pre-registered ≥ 64.0 full recovery target.
Why this failure matters:A standard generative agent would call 60.96 “close enough” or quietly lower the threshold. UNA's calibration_overconfidence_audit and fail_closed_abstention_gate automatically flag the run as HOLD_WATERSHED_RECOVERY_NOT_DEMONSTRATED and preserve a Bipartite Counterfactual Hold comparing earlier pre-Tick-60 catchment throttling against drip-line maintenance.
While the Solar Array and Biomass Nursery remain at 1.00 condition at Tick 240, the drip-irrigation network degrades to drip_condition: 0.25 under repeated monsoon shocks because maintenance labor is prioritized toward household care and food/water security. This late-horizon wear is the direct causal bottleneck preventing the watershed from crossing 64.0.
In V58–V61, expanding frontier structures without first paying for the 80% Wastewater Treatment Plant caused raw catchment draw (> 8 * ecology) to outpace natural recharge during compounding shocks. That failure led directly to the V62–V64 conservation rule.
Early 3D builds rendered persistent floating labels over every placed block, occluding the valley; PaperMC 1.20.4 rejected uppercase .mcfunction effect IDs; and a currentTickIdx variable typo briefly halted the WebGL startup loop before requestAnimationFrame. All three were audited, fixed, and regression-checked.
04 · Version Progression & UNA Cognitive Bridge
PASS_REPEAT_IDENTICAL_LEDGEREstablished the 14 synthetic citizens (SYN-001 Noah, age 1, through SYN-014 Mae, age 79) across 4 households (HH-A..HH-D) and 5 stepped watershed terraces (+0m to +18m). Enforced constitutional care priority: child care and elder care are allocated before any frontier extraction or construction, with zero coercion and zero emergency rationing.
HOLD_RAW_CATCHMENT_DEPLETIONWhen repeated monsoon shocks hit before closed-loop water recycling existed, unthrottled raw catchment extraction depleted reserves during frontier construction. This failure forced a structural redesign: every infrastructure asset must be paid for from real central stocks before activation, and raw catchment draw must be bounded by ecological regeneration.
PASS_WATERSHED_HEALTHY (Control: 500.0 / 500.0)Constructed and paid for INFRA-SOLAR-ARRAY, INFRA-BATTERY-BANK (80.0 unit reserve), INFRA-WASTEWATER-PLANT (80% greywater return), and INFRA-BIOMASS-NURSERY with drip irrigation (<= 0.35 water/biomass target). Under the control baseline, the watershed remains at 500.0/500.0 across all 240 ticks with 1.0000 mean health.
HOLD_WATERSHED_RECOVERY_NOT_DEMONSTRATEDSubjected the valley to eight consecutive 75% catchment losses (T30, T60, T90, T120, T150, T180, T210, T240). Human protection succeeded 100% (Mean Health = 1.0000, Unmet Child/Elder Care = 0, Ecological Floor >= 32.0 never breached). However, drip-irrigation wear (drip_condition -> 0.25) left the Tick 240 watershed at 60.96—falling 3.04 units short of the >= 64.0 recovery rubric. UNA's fail-closed abstention gate automatically blocked a PASS claim.
PASS_V65_WATERSHED_AND_ECO_HARMONY_VERIFIEDWhen asked what his world needed, citizen Kai (SYN-007) requested access to ResoVerse University to solve V64 pipe wear. Deploying SRD-001 Self-Healing Morphogenetic Drip Membranes (School 1 BIO-701), ROBO-101 Biomechatronic Repair Rovers (School 15 ROBO-101), and citizen-built Living-Roof Eco-Homes, Zero-Felling Canopy Treehouses, Wildlife Eco-Corridors, and Bioswale Rain Gardens kept drip condition at 0.94 and lifted Tick 240 watershed recovery from 60.96 to 68.40 / 500.0 under the same 8x monsoon shocks.
