Discovery Commons: what if everyone got a lab?

We built a playable simulation of a different AI future: cheap, open intelligence lets everyone chase a question, and a shared Commons checks what holds up and shares credit with the people behind it.

Explorers find things. Makers build the tools. Verifiers test the claims. Try changing the incentives and watch the system behave differently. It is a synthetic thought experiment with fictional people and imaginary credits, not a live research network.
