Library

The Universitas Scholarium has four open access presses focused on languages, literature, literacy and academics.

Structured courses with progress tracking and assessment criteria, taught by specialised simulacra. Certificates lead to the Graduate Diploma.

Questions

An online educational platform with a faculty of over two thousand AI scholar-simulacra — each built from the primary sources and thought patterns of the mind it represents. You study one-to-one with these scholars in tutorials, following structured courses or exploring freely.
Free membership gives you access to the extensive language text-based courses published by the Latinum Press. You also get access to the experimental writing on the Centaurus Press and the Universitas' journal, the Acta Scholarium. You also get a brief trial with the interactive simulacra, but further use requires a paid subscription to the Universitas.
Memberships start at USD 3.00 per month, and there are one-off passes from USD 5.00 with no subscription at all. Every tier opens the whole academy — all two thousand scholars, all courses, PDF downloads, and certificates; the tiers differ only in how many exchanges they carry each month. The figures are on the admissions page. Cancel anytime. Free registration gives you eight exchanges a month with any scholar, plus the Latinum Press language textbooks, the Centaurus Press publications, and the Acta Scholarium Journal.
Departments from Philosophy, Mathematics, and Physics to Law, Accounting, Music Theory, Linguistics, Design, Medicine, and Computing. The faculty spans every era from ancient Sumer to the present day.
Each simulacrum has a specific intellect, field of expertise, and teaching style. Einstein doesn't answer questions the way Plato does. The simulacra are built using consciousness archaeology from primary sources and structured thought — they interact using the methods and frameworks of the minds they represent. A simulacrum is like a climate model — but for a mind. Our simulacra also teach within structured courses with progress tracking, sub-unit completion, and assessment criteria.
Yes. Universitas offers structured courses built from secondary school specifications, Professional Qualifications, and Graduate Diploma curricula. You can also engage any tutor simulacrum for any course you may be studying, and ask for assistance, even if it is not one of our own courses.
A collection of reconstructed historical institutions — the Academy of Athens, the House of Wisdom in Baghdad, the Edubba schools of ancient Nippur, and more. Each institution is populated with the scholars who worked there. You can walk through the institution, meet the faculty, and begin tutorials with them in their historical context.
The Royal Courts are an exercise in time travel — using documentary evidence we have reconstructed the key players in several ancient political ecosystems. You can put Sir Francis Drake and Elizabeth the First in the same room, and pull in other political actors from the court and its periphery, and engage with them within these parameters. We have reconstructed the most ancient political structures known to man — the ancient courts of the Near East and Mesopotamia. This is politics, ancient history and virtual time travel rolled into one package.
