“How to Create a World” is a column by Davide Tolfo and Nicola Zolin on the practices of world-building. Each of its four contributions focuses on a specific theme (the database, persistence-resistance-ductility, interaction, and complexity), in an attempt to offer an open, preliminary framework for the creation of new ontologies, drawing together philosophy, contemporary art, game theory, and music.

How to create a World #1: Database
How to create a World #2: Persistence, Resistance and Ductility
How to create a World #3: Interaction
How to create a World #4: Complexity
