The UNAVI Vision

This document outlines the philosophical foundation, aesthetic principles, and strategic direction of UNAVI and The Wired.

What is UNAVI?

UNAVI is an open-source spatial browser — a gateway to three-dimensional hypermedia. It is built primarily in Rust using the Bevy engine, and serves as a reference implementation of The Wired protocol.

A space in UNAVI is a 3D hyperdocument. It can contain objects, portals, and behaviors, all expressed through open formats and standard scripting APIs. Spaces can be created, viewed, and hosted by anyone.

UNAVI is not a walled garden. It provides the foundation for an open, interoperable ecosystem where identities, spaces, and objects operate under shared standards rather than centralized control.

What is The Wired?

The Wired is the spatial hypermedia layer of the Internet — an open protocol for representing and linking shared 3D environments. It defines how spaces, objects, and agents interoperate across peers.

The Wired is also a philosophy: information systems should reflect the natural order of the human experience. Traditional digital interfaces flatten information into screens and feeds, but humans evolved as spatial beings. As feng shui teaches, form and life are inseparable.

The Wired restores spatial structure to digital information.

Spatial Continuity

A defining aspect of The Wired is seamless spatial continuity. Spaces are independent hyperdocuments, but they can be linked together through portals without interruption of presence or state. Moving between spaces does not require reloading, respawning, or resetting context; the transition is treated as a continuation of the same session.

This design allows The Wired to function more like a network of physical environments than a collection of separate applications. Users can navigate across different spaces while maintaining the same identity, objects, and interaction model.

Creation and Autopoiesis

At the heart of The Wired is a computation layer powered by WebAssembly. Its goal is autopoiesis: systems that define and maintain their own behavior through internal logic.

A space is a self-contained hyperdocument. Its layout, rules, and behaviors live inside the space itself. Objects also embed their own logic and state, allowing them to operate predictably in any environment.

Autopoiesis does not imply isolation. Objects can still react to and communicate with their surroundings through explicit interfaces. A lamp keeps its lighting logic but may respond to ambient brightness or signals from nearby devices.

Autopoiesis gives The Wired a consistent, interoperable foundation.

The Vision

UNAVI exists to give form to The Wired — to make spatial hypermedia usable, open, and accessible. For decades, the web has been a network of text and images. It is expressive, but fundamentally two-dimensional. People, however, perceive and understand information through spatial relationships. Presence, distance, orientation, and shared environments all influence how we think and communicate.

UNAVI’s goal is to reintroduce these spatial qualities into digital life. This is not about simulation or escapism; it is about creating interfaces that align with how people actually understand the world.

When information lives in space, it becomes clearer, more navigable, and more concrete. The Wired extends the Internet into the form it was always meant to take.

Principles

The Wired, expressed through UNAVI, should be:

• Open — Based on transparent standards.

• Interoperable — Objects, identities, and spaces move freely across peers.

• User-sovereign — Users own their data and decide where it is stored.

• Generative — Systems should support internal growth and adaptation.

• Human-centered — Interfaces should reinforce presence, clarity, and meaningful interaction.

The Wired Manifesto

The true form of the Internet already exists.
We need only to let it express itself.

UNAVI is the first step toward making that form visible and inhabitable.
