resursets
Resursets is a term used in speculative design and resource-modeling to denote a category of resources that can be restored or regenerated in a predictable way after use. Unlike static stock resources, resurset systems operate under explicit replenishment rules, which allow for sustainable supply within a defined domain. The term is not standardized and appears mainly in theoretical discussions, simulations, and some indie projects.
Etymology and scope: Resurset blends resource with reset or regenerate. Its usage varies by field, but common
Types and mechanisms: regrown resurset refers to resources that replenish via natural or deliberate restoration; reusable
Modeling and metrics: Resurset dynamics are modeled with stock-and-flow approaches. Key metrics include replenishment rate, depletion
Applications: In city simulations, strategy games, and education tools, resursets illustrate sustainable use and regeneration cycles.
