algebasse

Algebasse is a fictional region and cultural concept used in speculative fiction and tabletop role-playing games to explore a society where mathematics, craftsmanship, and urban life are inseparable.

Geography and political structure: It consists of a network of coastal city-states and isles along the eastern Numerian archipelago. The governing body is the Companial Council, composed of magistrates elected by guilds of artisans and scholars.

Economy and technology: The economy centers on geometric-based construction, navigation, textile design, and instrument making. Architecture employs modular blocks and latticed façades; ships use lattice-based navigation; mathematics education is universal through the Lattice Academy.

Culture and language: Algebasse culture prizes precision and collaboration; the language Algebash is a creole with a rich mathematical vocabulary. Art and music follow lattice and symmetry rules, with performances using tuning systems derived from geometric ratios.

In fiction and media: Algebasse appears in several novels and games as a setting that emphasizes inquiry and collaboration. It is commonly used as a thought experiment about how mathematics could shape daily life, governance, and identity.
