What to open first

Project Sid is about inhabitants, not generated scenery.

The public report and GitHub project describe a Minecraft-based many-agent simulation: specialization, law, culture, religion, and long-running social patterns. The world is a setting. The research object is society.

That is why Sid stays adjacent on this map. A persistent world still needs memory, roles, and institutions after the geometry looks good.

Boundary

Do not cite Sid as a visual world model.

Sid does not replace Marble, Skybox AI, HY-World, or Genie. Those systems generate or reconstruct places. Sid asks what happens when agents live in a place that already exists.

If the reader wanted scenery, send them to a generator. If they wanted social behavior in a persistent environment, stay here.

How to verify

Use the Fundamental Research Labs article and the GitHub report.

Those two sources are enough to classify the project. Extra claims about general AI civilization, real-world institutions, or production game NPCs should be rejected unless a later primary source says so.
