A physical and causal substrate — not the whole world model.

RGD Physics is explored as the layer that can encode physical/causal semantics, Chronon/Aion state and rapid feasibility checks beneath higher-level world-model orchestration.

STATUS BOUNDARY

RGD Physics is an external implementation candidate in the canonical architecture. It is not shipped by OpenRGD/openrgd and should not be read as a currently released OpenRGD runtime component.

RESEARCH ROLE

Physics can verify a proposed future without owning cognition.

Physical semantics

Typed physical state and constraints associated with embodied entities.

Causal envelope

Represent which outcomes are physically plausible or causally connected.

Feasibility checking

Fast checks that can reject impossible or unsafe speculative branches.

Chronon / Aion

Candidate ownership of canonical historical state envelopes and payload semantics.

WORLD MODELS

Imagine broadly, verify narrowly.

The research split is deliberate: a learned or semantic world model may imagine possible futures, while RGD Physics can act as a physical/causal verifier. Neither is automatically the embodied runtime.
