The knowledge graph becomes a living global institution — interoperable, self-sustaining, and community-governed.
- 12+ indigenous cosmologies fully documented and interoperable
- Partnerships with cultural institutions, universities, and elder councils
- Blockchain-secured oral history archive — immutable community records
- AI-assisted pattern recognition across knowledge traditions

FEATURES IN DEVELOPMENT
Planned additions to the Cosmic Weave globe and the broader Ikeverse platform.
Full planetarium integration — real-time star positions, constellation overlays from multiple cultures, and precession simulation across centuries.
Split cultures.json into a 22KB lean metadata file loaded instantly, with rich detail (290KB) fetched per-culture on demand — cutting initial load by 42%.
Save favourite cultures, annotate connections, and build personal knowledge paths stored in Supabase user profiles.
Full light-mode variant of the globe and admin panel for accessibility and presentation use in bright environments.
Optional cultural soundscapes per region — nature sounds, instruments, chants — activated when exploring specific culture nodes.
Export any culture as a clean one-page PDF summary — ideal for educators, researchers, and community presentations.
The Wider Weave
PART OF THE PIKOVERSE ECOSYSTEM
Ikeverse is one living platform within Pikoverse — a community-powered knowledge ecosystem built from Hawaiʻi. Here's who else is part of the weave.
The main ecosystem hub — weaving Aloha, indigenous culture, history, and emerging technology into one living platform.
The broader living knowledge platform Ikeverse's globe and culture graph are part of.
The sky-focused observatory layer of Ikeverse — Hawaiian star formations, wayfinding, and moʻolelo. Also reachable from the globe's Star Map control.
Marketplace and creative hub within the wider Pikoverse ecosystem.
The blockchain and Web3 education universe positioned within the broader Ikeverse learning vision.
Nalu Ledger Forensics — XRPL forensics tooling, bridging into Ikeverse's data and trust layer.
