World Runtime Skill

"The age of linear computing is behind us." -- Morph Labs "Verses are parallel universes corresponding to probability events." -- Dave White, Paradigm

Overview

WorldRuntime provides the execution substrate for Multiverse Finance verses via:

1. Firecracker microVMs: Secure, fast isolation (~125ms boot)
2. Morph Infinibranch: Instant branching/snapshotting (<250ms)
3. Paradigm Verses: Financial parallel universes with push_down/pull_up

Architecture

Layer 1: Firecracker (Isolation)

// Firecracker provides:
// - KVM-based microVMs
// - 125ms boot time
// - 5MB memory overhead
// - Minimal attack surface
// - Rate limiters for I/O

struct MicroVM {
    vcpu_count: u8,      // 1-32 vCPUs
    mem_size_mib: u32,   // Memory in MiB
    boot_source: BootSource,
    drives: Vec<Drive>,
    network_interfaces: Vec<NetworkInterface>,
}

Layer 2: Infinibranch (Branching)

# Morph Cloud Infinibranch provides:
# - <250ms snapshot/restore
# - Zero-overhead branching
# - Complete state preservation (memory, disk, network)
# - Unlimited parallel branches

from morphcloud import MorphSandbox

# Create base world
world = await MorphSandbox.create()
await world.execute_code("import pandas as pd; data = load_universe()")

# Snapshot at decision point
snapshot_id = await world.snapshot("pre-event")

# Branch into parallel verses
verse_nash = await MorphSandbox.create(snapshot_id=snapshot_id)
verse_optimal = await MorphSandbox.create(snapshot_id=snapshot_id)
verse_chaos = await MorphSandbox.create(snapshot_id=snapshot_id)

# Execute in parallel with GF(3) conservation
results = await asyncio.gather(
    verse_nash.execute_code("strategy = 'selfish'; evolve()"),      # -1
    verse_optimal.execute_code("strategy = 'cooperative'; evolve()"), # 0
    verse_chaos.execute_code("strategy = 'random'; evolve()"),       # +1
)

Layer 3: Verses (Financial)

// Paradigm Multiverse Finance
// Verses partition the outcome space

struct Verse {
    bytes32 verseId;
    bytes32 parentId;
    bytes32[] children;
    uint256 probability;  // Fixed-point probability
    bool resolved;
    bool outcome;         // true = verse exists, false = verse collapsed
}

// Multiverse Map: verse -> owner -> balance
mapping(bytes32 => mapping(address => uint256)) public multiverseMap;

// Operations
function pushDown(bytes32 parent, bytes32[] calldata children) external;
function pullUp(bytes32[] calldata children, bytes32 parent) external;

Future: Monad Parallel Execution

For on-chain verse execution, Monad's optimistic parallel execution provides:

• Identical block semantics to Ethereum
• Parallel transaction execution
• Automatic re-execution on conflicts
• Perfect for verse state transitions

Monad Block = [Tx1, Tx2, Tx3, ...]
             = verse_nash || verse_optimal || verse_chaos
             = GF(3) balanced execution
