Abstract :
Living worlds offer a nonlinear, unscripted process for experiencing and safely learning the cognitive complexity and nuance of culture through emergent high-fidelity simulation. The 3D asymmetric domain analysis and training model uses visual, auditory, behavioral, and cultural models for immersive cultural training using the living-world construct.
