"World object" seems pretty self explanetory to me, implying the holistic embodiment of an object in every dimension in which it exists. It's in the same family as "world model" (for robotic systems) or "world reference point" (for dynamic systems), etc.
Introducing a new term "unum" seems an unnecessary abstraction, but I like thinking about the superpositional nature of virtual objects. That's a pretty fascinating topic and probably an area that can be mined to achieve efficiency improvements.
- eximius 7y ago"world object" is the new term you introduce. It is, admittedly, more common than "unum" and not new in the sense that its parts are familiar, but you're already defining a new term. It is a bit odd, but I think I like it. Also, world object could be the 'object' for the 'world', as opposed to the unum of an item in the world.
- mattnewport 7y agoEntity is already a common term in games that seems to mostly capture this distinction and seems like a better fit than unum too.
