The model
The ten Worlds are WSA's permanent knowledge architecture: ten interconnected fields through which any interest can be read, each with real disciplines, real progression and connections to the other nine.
Its role
They are the structure that keeps interest-led learning coherent. Because they never change, a child's work accumulates instead of scattering.
Relationships
Worlds receive interests, contain academic disciplines, develop capabilities, and connect to one another. Explorations happen inside them; mastery is recorded against them.
In practice
A child's interest in bread enters the Life World, crosses into the Natural World through fermentation, the Logic World through ratio, the Human World through migration and the Enterprise World through the economics of a bakery.
