01 / A simple beginning

You write.
Terra responds.

Terra has lost its balance. In an abandoned library, Maatis discovers an ancient artifact — and a holographic AI awakens. Together, you begin to restore the five lost principles.

It starts with a conversation. New stories, battles and places open up as you go. You do not need to learn a rulebook or memorize formulas to begin.

You are Maatis

The AI is your companion. Write, ask questions and make your own choices.

You are the AI

The roles change: Maatis talks to you. Guide him through a story of his own.

02 / Discover more, one step at a time

An adventure that
grows with you.

There is no need to learn everything at once. New possibilities unlock along your journey.

Your Maatis, your play style

Which side of you will emerge?

You begin as Maatis without a class. After your first real battle, choose one of five classes — each with its own artwork, attacks and talent trees.

03 / The idea behind MAAT

Five questions.
A fresh perspective.

MAAT invites you to look at an idea or situation from five perspectives. Give each one a reasoned rating from 0 to 10.

Harmony

Does the whole fit together?

Balance

Are effort, needs and goals in proportion?

Creative Power

Does it create something useful or new?

Connection

Who or what is connected to it?

Respect

Are boundaries and the people involved respected?

In the game, try asking: “Calculate the MAAT score of my idea.” The AI explains its assessment. You do not have to do the arithmetic yourself.

H · B · S · V · R

Try it with an idea.

An arithmetic example: move the five sliders. Both results update immediately.

MAAT score
5 out of 10
(5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5) / 5 = 5
Stability
5 out of 10
min(R, ⁴√(H × B × S × V)) × 10
The MAAT score · a simple average
MAAT = (H + B + S + V + R) / 5

Keep all ratings on the 0–10 scale. For example: Harmony 5, Balance 6, Creative Power 7, Connection 8, Respect 9. Their sum is 35; divide by 5 to get 7 out of 10. The reasons behind the individual ratings matter as much as the number.

Stability · working together, with a boundary
Stability = min(R, ⁴√(H × B × S × V))

First divide every rating by 10: 5 becomes 0.5. Multiply Harmony, Balance, Creative Power and Connection, then take the square root twice. The smaller of this result and Respect is Stability. Five ratings of 5 give 0.5, or 5 out of 10. A low value brings the result down; Respect also sets an upper limit.

The MAAT world formula · connection and disorder
Maat_world = P / ΔE

P is the product of all five principles after conversion to 0–1; ΔE represents disorder here. Five values of 0.5 give P = 0.03125. With ΔE = 0.5, the result is 0.03125 / 0.5 = 0.0625. The idea: stronger connection and less disorder raise the model index. This is not a score out of 10. The extended version P / (ΔE + ΔQ) also includes uncertainty ΔQ.

PLP · from potential to action
PLP = P × K / (O + ΔE)

K means competence, O obstacles and ΔE energy effort in this formula. The principles product and competence form the numerator; obstacles and effort form the denominator. Example: P = 0.03125, K = 0.8, O = 0.5 and ΔE = 0.5 give 0.025. The idea becomes visible: skills help, while obstacles and effort slow progress. Again, this is a model index, not a score out of 10.

These numbers are subjective assessments within a model. They do not measure a person’s worth or scientifically established laws of nature. The game calculates combat XP, HP and resonance separately.

04 / Ready for Terra?

Your first journey.
Three simple steps.

  1. Open the game.MAAT RPG is a desktop application. On the very first launch, choose English or German.
  2. Choose a profile and model.Use your own profile and select a suitable GGUF file for your local AI.
  3. Experience the intro.Then choose your perspective. Write your first message — the rest unfolds one step at a time.
Do I need a subscription or cloud AI?

Conversations run on your computer using a local GGUF model. No cloud AI subscription is needed. You first need to obtain a model file; model size and speed depend on your hardware.

Will it run on my computer?

A macOS package supports Intel and Apple Silicon on macOS 13.3 or later. The underlying technology also accounts for Linux and Windows; fully tested, ready-made packages for those systems are not yet provided here.

Do I have to use the formulas?

No. You can simply chat and play. Ask for MAAT assessments or formula explanations whenever you are interested.

What is saved?

Game progress, chat history and AI memories stay local. Up to ten profiles keep your journeys separate. The Memories tab lets you view, manage or delete the archive and saves separately.
