✅ Article highlight: Research Governance, Tech Trees, and Civilizational Capability Promotion (art-60-250, v0.1)
TL;DR:
This article asks how a persistent simulated civilization should advance.
Once NPC societies have states, institutions, education, and research traditions, new knowledge cannot become a world-wide capability just because someone discovered it. 250 turns research, secrecy, testing, hazard review, staged release, and technology transfer into governed civilizational processes.

Why it matters:
• prevents prototype success from becoming automatic civilization-wide deployment
• treats hazardous capability as broader than weapons
• makes archives and negative results part of scientific continuity
• separates secrecy, embargo, conditional sharing, and general access
• keeps benchmarks from inflating one capability into civilizational superiority
What’s inside:
• research-program charters with scope, sponsors, review surfaces, and continuity duties
• capability-promotion gates for sandbox, limited, general, embargoed, secret, conditional-share, or denied release
• hazardous-tech review packs
• staged promotion from archive and lab to bounded deployment and wider infrastructure
• knowledge exchange as diplomacy, deterrence, and treaty-bearing transfer
• civilizational benchmark reports with bounded comparability
Key idea:
Do not say:
“this simulated civilization invented it, so the technology was unlocked.”
Say:
“this civilization chartered the research, preserved its methods and failures, classified the hazards, approved only this promotion stage, restricted these release surfaces, and shared the capability under these conditions.”
Discovery expands knowledge.
Capability still requires governance.
