Whatever It Is... Wonder Further.

"Gothic Grandma is a house with many rooms — Laboratories, Workshop, Studio, and more to come — each doing its own kind of work, all of it in service of one thing: understanding ourselves, each other, and the world, through novel instruments of discovery and experience."

— Nathan Baune

Whatever it is… wonder further.

Gothic Grandma. Laboratories presents MUSE Accelerating discovery, crafting novel experiences, with humanity at the helm.

What is MUSE?

MUSE is an ecosystem of tools enabling research, development, and use of massive-scale simulations — from cells to ant colonies to bustling cities — all built on the integration of centuries of scientific models and research.

MUSE is the first platform designed from the ground up to enable complex adaptive systems at an individual level to give rise to emergent behaviors and large scale population dynamics. The result is millions of entities with internal systems interacting in persistent environments and producing insights no one scripted.

Our initial focus is on systems ranging from biochemical densities to cognitive systems including perception, memory, decision making, and action. However, the simulation architecture required to enable large-scale simulation of complex, interacting individuals based on biology, neuroscience, and psychology makes MUSE a powerful platform across domains, questions, and use cases.

Why Simulation Now

The dominant methodology in biology and behavioral research hasn't changed in fifty years: pose a narrow hypothesis, run an experiment, publish, repeat. But the hypothesis space has grown faster than experiments can test it.

The fields making the fastest progress — computational biology, climate science, parts of physics — have already changed how they work. They use modeling and simulation to generate hypotheses, ML to find signal in existing data, and reserve experiments for targeted validation where it matters.

MUSE is infrastructure for this methodology. Rapid, massive-scale exploration. Hypothesis generation, not just hypothesis testing. Composable models across domains and scales. Derisking before experiments.
