speed-of-light

Speed of Light is MOOLLM's approach to single-epoch simulation: multiple agents take multiple turns within one epoch, instead of separate API calls per turn. We prefer "single-epoch simulation" language to keep the focus on a shared context boundary, not an external coordinator.

Characters communicate telepathically. Objects react instantly. Rooms update in real-time. All within one epoch, then the boundary closes and state is written once.

| Glacially slow | 500ms+ latency per turn | | Token explosion | Re-emit entire context every call | | Precision loss | Serialization rounds off nuance | | Noise accumulation | Each boundary adds artifacts | | Hallucination creep | LLM re-interprets context each time | | State drift | No single coherent view across calls |
