Technical notes:

• 'infinite' worlds, each world 'infinitely'-sized, every block in every world with the capability to persist
• slim 'vanilla js' client with p5.js as the sole external code depedency
• node server backed by redis with a sparse memory model
• interactive server console with introspection and messaging functionality
• 'realtime' bi-directional message passing (including chat) via websockets
  

Still very much an experiment/work-in-progress: this text written at version 0.2.9.
