A crow gets a clearing, a journal and a simulated life
Crow’s clearing is an interactive 3D life experiment with a crow whose activities, needs, memories and reflections are tracked in a journal.
- For
- Readers curious about simulated agents and virtual-life experiments
- Worth noticing
- The interface separates Crow’s own reflections from rule-derived patterns and labels reflections as interpretations, not proof of feelings.
Field notes
Controls expose a navigable clearing, a journal, body and provisions, projects, reading notes, practical attempts, and a trading-post ledger. The simulation says physical activity advances in real minutes, while needs depend on active time and effort; each memory section holds at most 24 items, with unreinforced memories able to fade. Crow’s reflections and rule-derived patterns are kept distinct, and the page cautions that reflections are not proof of feelings.
