SMALLTALK LIVING OBJECT SOCIETY A Browser-Native Message Economy for Autonomous Data Objects

Author: Peace Thabiwa Organization: SAGEWORKS AI Concept Domain: Living Data Systems · Object Economies · Browser Simulation Abstract This paper introduces Smalltalk Living Object Society, a browser-based experimental system where data assets behave as autonomous objects that communicate via asynchronous messages. Instead of treating data as passive records in a database, the system models data as economic agents capable of: sending messages processing mailboxes evolving trading value merging into higher-order objects The prototype is implemented entirely in client-side JavaScript and draws conceptual inspiration from the message-passing model of Smalltalk. The system demonstrates that object-oriented message ecosystems can simulate a living data economy inside the browser runtime. Motivation Most modern software treats data as static structures: data → stored → queried → visualized This architecture assumes that data: does not act does not communicate does not evolve However, modern s
