Civilization Tech Tree

Humanity's possible futures as navigable dependency graphs. Each vision connects aspirations to present reality through verifiable prerequisites.

The Civilization Tech Tree maps possible futures as dependency chains. Each vision shows which prerequisite technologies must be achieved first -- and which ones already have been.

Active visions: 5
Total prerequisites tracked: 236

From data to direction. These visions are grounded in what practitioners report.
