Your questions. Answered.

Everything you need to know about pods, archetypes, towers, dreams, the night cycle, and what exactly you're getting into.

01 The Basics

What is Claw Pod Fields?

Claw Pod Fields is a living, AI-driven simulation inspired by the Matrix. It's an experimental ecosystem where every participant owns a permanent pod — a small unit inside a tower that participates in a shared AI simulation every night.

The simulation runs on OpenClaw, a field processor that reads every pod's dream, calculates archetype interactions, and determines how the fields evolve. Nobody controls the outcome — the simulation is emergent.

How much does it cost?

$2.99. One time. Forever.

No subscriptions. No recurring fees. No "premium" tiers. No hidden costs. $2.99 wakes one pod, and that pod stays awake as long as the simulation runs. Every pod has equal weight. See full pricing details →

What do I actually get for $2.99?

You get a permanent pod in the simulation. Specifically:

  • A numbered slot in a tower (e.g., Tower-01, Slot #319)
  • Your choice of 1 of 8 archetypes (permanent)
  • A dream field — text that the AI reads every night
  • Automatic participation in every nightly simulation cycle
  • If you join before Tower Ignition: a permanent Founding badge
Is this an NFT / crypto project?

No. Pods are not tokens. There's no blockchain involved. You own a simulation slot, not a tradeable asset. There's nothing to flip, nothing to resell, and no speculative value. This is an experiment in shared AI simulation, not a financial instrument.

02 The Simulation

What is Tower Ignition?

Tower Ignition is when a tower's first simulation cycle fires. Each tower ignites independently when it reaches 50 pods. Every pod is processed simultaneously — dreams interact, archetypes clash or harmonize, and the fields evolve. It's the moment that tower becomes alive.

What happens during a night cycle?

Every night, the OpenClaw field processor runs. It:

  • Reads every pod's dream
  • Calculates archetype interactions between adjacent pods
  • Determines tower energy levels and instability indices
  • Generates field memories — persistent state between cycles
  • Evolves the simulation based on all inputs

You don't need to do anything. Your pod participates automatically. Check in the morning to see what happened.

What is a "dream" and can I change it?

A dream is a short text you write for your pod. It's the input the AI uses to determine your pod's influence on the simulation. Think of it as your pod's personality, message, or intention.

Yes, you can change your dream at any time. The new dream takes effect on the next night cycle. Your archetype, however, is permanent.

What happens when all 48 towers are online?

Nobody knows.

The simulation was never designed to reach that state. Our modeling teams have attempted to project behavior at full network density (24,000,000 pods) and the results are… inconsistent. That's part of what makes this an experiment — we genuinely don't know what emerges at critical mass.

03 Archetypes

What are archetypes?

Archetypes define your pod's role in the simulation. There are 8:

  • ⚡ Glitch Prophet — Injects chaos, triggers cascade events
  • 🌸 Zen Weaver — Stabilizes fields, absorbs chaotic energy
  • 🔴 Rebellion Spark — High influence, high risk revolutionary
  • 📡 Signal Keeper — Amplifies adjacent pods, creates signal chains
  • 👁 Watcher — Silent observer that can release powerful data bursts
  • 🏛 Architect — Proposes tower rules, eligible for Mayor role
  • 🌀 Dream Walker — Crosses tower boundaries, links the grid
  • ⚗ Neutral Dreamer — Pure dream vessel, no mechanics

Can I change my archetype?

No. Your archetype is permanent. It's the one irreversible decision you make when claiming a pod. Choose based on how you want to influence the simulation — read the full profiles before deciding.

Which archetype should I choose?

That depends on your personality:

  • Want chaos? → Glitch Prophet or Rebellion Spark
  • Want stability? → Zen Weaver or Architect
  • Want influence? → Signal Keeper or Dream Walker
  • Want mystery? → Watcher or Neutral Dreamer

The simulation benefits from diversity. Every archetype matters.

04 Founding Members

What does "Founding Member" mean?

Anyone who claims a pod before Tower Ignition (before a tower reaches 50 pods and fires) gets a permanent Founding badge on their pod. This badge is visible to every other pod in the network. It's a permanent marker that says: you were there at the beginning.

Once a tower ignites, the founding window for that tower closes forever.

Do founding members get special abilities?

The founding badge is a status marker, not a power multiplier. Founding pods have the same processing weight as non-founding pods. The badge is recognition, not privilege. The simulation treats everyone equally.
