### 3D Game: Drive and Walk a Year-2040 City
A playable 2040 city in the browser: walk a humanoid, greet the crew, and take the controls of any truck, robotaxi, semi or cargo barge. Every robot, vehicle and tower is generated geometry, so the whole city ships as code with nothing downloaded. Traffic follows arc-length curves and yields, collision uses oriented capsules, and the cockpit is a Formula-style rim with forward, reverse, booster and autopilot.

## Reference Guides

### Graph Types for AI Agents (2026)
The definitive reference on the data structures behind modern AI search, defining and differentiating six commonly-confused types using one shared dataset (a running-shoe retailer) modeled six ways:
- Taxonomy: a strict single-parent hierarchy using only "is-a" relationships. Answers "where does this belong?" Best for navigation; cannot express non-hierarchical links.
- Ontology: the formal blueprint — the classes, allowed relationship types, and rules of a domain, with no instances. Answers "what can exist and how do things relate?" The schema (T-Box); schema.org is a lightweight example.
- Knowledge Graph: the ontology populated with real entities and typed, directed, resolvable relationships (sameAs to Wikidata/Google). Answers "what is true about these entities?" The factual-grounding layer AI answer engines reason over.
- Information Graph: an applied/SEO layer mapping content assets (pages, URLs, sections) onto the entities they cover and the search demand they target, plus internal links. Answers "what content covers what, for which query?"
- Context Graph: layers situation (user, intent, journey stage, location, time, freshness, trust) over a knowledge graph to score which answer is right for a specific person at a specific moment. The decision/relevance layer for AEO, GEO, and agents.
- Vector / Embedding Index: not a graph — content stored as embeddings and retrieved by nearest-neighbor similarity, with no schema or typed edges. The fuzzy recall engine of RAG; pair with a knowledge graph for precision and grounding.
Includes a full comparison table, a "which one do you need" decision framework, runnable graphology code examples, and FAQ (knowledge graph vs ontology, knowledge graph vs vector database for RAG, property graph vs RDF).
