by bytes and yonada As creators of virtual worlds, our goal is to create environments that are engaging and interesting for users. This means finding a balance between designing a digital physics that allows for complex and unexpected behaviors to emerge, and ensuring that the available infrastructure can support these behaviors. To do this, we must consider three main dimensions of digital physics: time, the form of its laws, and the scope within which these laws apply.TimeWe refer to the pa...

Letter from the Editor: vera A few months ago, before joining Lattice, I joked to ludens that the team should publish an article called Why Your Protocol Needs Physics. Part philosophical treatise, part sales-pitch (and perhaps, part-shitpost) the piece would espouse why automated market-makers, decentralized lending markets, and L1’s and L2’s should make their protocols physics-aware by implementing notions of spatial coordinates, the speed of light, energy conservation, and other tenets of ...
