#concept According to Nelson Goodman, a World is a formal structure governed by an internally consistent logic. A bounded [[Space]], defined by its elements, features and relations. Worlds are made of parts and have emergent properties. Some worlds are systems. All objects are worlds. There are worlds of different scales. Worlds might be interconnected. Worlds are designed or understood through [[model]]s. Worlds are conceptually bounded by a [[Worldview]] / a [[Cosmology]]. More precisely, a [[world]] can refer to various concepts, including but not limited to: 1. Physical world: The physical universe or the earth and everything that exists in it. 2. Cultural world: The shared beliefs, values, customs, behaviors, and artifacts that characterize a group or society. 3. Social world: The network of relationships, institutions, and social practices that shape a person's experiences and opportunities. 4. Mental world: A person's subjective experiences, thoughts, and feelings. 5. Virtual world: A computer-generated environment or simulation, often used for gaming, social interaction, or other forms of entertainment. 6. Imagined world: A concept or idea created in one's mind, such as a fictional or fantasy world. In the context of [[worldmaking]], a world refers to a constructed, internally coherent reality that can be experienced by an individual or a group of individuals. This could include physical, cultural, social, mental, virtual, or imagined worlds. Worldmaking involves the creation and construction of these realities, either through intentional design or through the accumulation of individual experiences and perceptions. The idea is that we are all worldmakers, shaping and creating the realities that we experience through our actions, beliefs, and experiences.
