V6 — Features (Page Index) — Egbe Companions

This directory holds the V6 (Egbe — an agentic-companion universe where autonomous AI agents live persistent lives and the player is their steward) feature map, decomposed from the single ../V6_features.md hub into focused, in-depth, code-grounded pages. The hub remains the canonical entry point and preserves every section heading; each page below expands one part of the product with richer, code-grounded detail and an honest implemented / spec-only status. The companion architecture reference lives in ../architecture/.

Cross-reference convention. Page-to-page links are relative (./<slug>.md); the architecture companion for a feature page is linked as ../architecture/<slug>.md. Platform-foundation links point at the shared platform/ space.

Feature landscape#

flowchart TB Player[Player as steward] --> VAC[Voice text and embodied communication] VAC --> Ori[Ori identity autonomy and portable biography] Ori --> Cognition[Agent minds grounding goals and action] Cognition --> Moirai[Moirai persistent life simulation] Moirai --> Orun[Orun world relationships and offline progression] Orun --> Story[Clio story fate endings and legacy] Ori --> Aye[Aye cross-game incarnation] Orun --> Commons[Meta-hub Commons creation and live service] Story --> Governance[Welfare safety provenance consent and commerce] Commons --> Governance Governance --> Operations[Evals cost accessibility localization rollout and launch]

The landscape expresses the stewardship thesis: communication may influence an Ori, but durable identity, simulation, cognition, autonomy policy, and world authority govern what happens. Story and embodiment derive from that life; they do not replace its canonical state.

Use this index to choose the player/Ori/world job, pair it with the owning architecture page, and trace consented identity, deterministic state, probabilistic generation, governed effects, disclosure, and recovery. Then check backlog, dependencies, current code/tests/evals, flagship evidence, model/client tiers, release records, and operations before describing the behavior as supported.

Every focused feature topic appears exactly once below. The V6 documentation guide supplies welfare-aware truth vocabulary and role paths; the diagram atlas supplies cognition, identity, lifecycle, ownership, stewardship, and release models. Cross-links add context without blurring canonical ownership.

Orientation#

Overview & Design Posture — what V6 is and the agentic-companion design posture.
Glossary & Conventions — every V6 subsystem mapped to code, and the conventions.
Product Promise & Surfaces — the promise and the surfaces players touch.

The World and the Ori#

The World of Orun — Orun as a place: its districts, persistence, and what living there is like.
The Ori: Portable Identity — the persistent identity/personality/biography that makes each agent an individual.

Agent Cognition#

Agent Minds & Autonomy — how agents think and act autonomously, and what makes them feel alive.
The Moirai Simulation — how agents' lives advance day to day, even when you're not watching.

Stewardship, Communication, and Fate#

Stewardship: The Player's Role — the steward role: guiding rather than commanding.
VAC: Communicating with Agents — how the player talks with agents and how they understand and respond.
Guiding Fate, Legacy & Story — guiding an agent's fate, legacy at their end, and the emergent story.

Shared Worlds, Creation, and Live-Service#

The Meta-Hub & Commons — the shared social space and the community commons.
Egbe Studio & Live Service — the creation tools and the live-service programming.

Trust, Safety, and the Launch Bar#

Governance, Safety & Commerce — the governance model, safety + agent welfare, and commerce.
Accessibility & Localization — accessibility and localization (including localizing agent speech).
Evals, Cost & Budgets — the eval sets that keep agent behavior good and the cost/budget model.
Cross-Platform, Rollout & Launch — cross-platform support, region rollout, and launch readiness.
