Alta CORD
Source: Alta Worldbuilding Config
Alta Comprehensive Ontological Reality Database (CORD) is the foundational worldbuilding database that defines the very fabric of alta civilization’s reality. Stored in /.meta/world.json, it serves as the ultimate reference for alta culture, language, and existence itself.
Database Contents:
- Alkey Language System - Complete linguistic definitions, translations, and etymologies
- Color Coding Standards - Official palette system for species, factions, and energy types
- Lore Terms & Concepts - Canonical definitions for all alta worldbuilding elements
- System Abbreviations - Registry of all alta organizational systems (UIKA, BGMR2, XSEM, etc.)
- Proper Names - Characters, locations, factions, and historical figures
- Energy Classifications - Ceternia, Alternia, Enternia, and Stardust definitions
Meta-Nature:
CORD is unique among alta systems as it exists on both narrative and meta levels - it’s simultaneously:
- An in-universe database that alta researchers reference for canonical knowledge
- The actual source code file that defines the mod’s worldbuilding foundations
- The “truth” that all other systems (UIKA, XSEM, datacenter records) derive from
As the most fundamental alta knowledge system, CORD ensures consistency across all documentation, in-game text, wiki pages, and lore elements. It is quite literally the ontological foundation of alta reality - both within their world and within the mod’s development structure.
