Base Claim:
1. A method for creating a pseudo-world comprising a plurality of cells, the method comprising: identifying a first pseudo-world file system, wherein the first pseudo-world file system comprises a plurality of folders and a plurality of attribute files arranged in a file system hierarchy, wherein the file system hierarchy defines a plurality of parent child relationships between the plurality of folders and the plurality of attribute files; processing each of the plurality of folders according to the file system hierarchy to generate the pseudo-world, wherein processing a folder of the plurality of folders comprises: identifying at least one child attribute file of the plurality of attribute files comprised in the folder, wherein the folder and the at least one child attribute file are in a parent child relationship of the plurality of parent child relationships based on the at least one child attribute file comprised in the folder; identifying a first parent cell of the plurality of cells in the pseudo-world, wherein the first parent cell is defined by a parent attribute file corresponding to the folder; and generating, in the pseudo-world, a child cell, of the plurality of cells, within the first parent cell for each of the at least one child attribute files based on the parent child relationship by: identifying a first location within the first parent cell for placement of the child cell; and creating, at the first location, the child cell using an attribute in the at least one child attribute file, wherein each cell of the plurality of cells is an object within the pseudo-world, and wherein the pseudo-world is a controlled simulation of a real world; displaying the pseudo-world; detecting, in the pseudo-world, an avatar moving a requested cell of the plurality of cells from the first location in the first parent cell to a second location within a second parent cell; identifying, in the first pseudo-world file system, a folder corresponding to the second parent cell; identifying, in the first pseudo-world file system, an attribute file corresponding to the requested cell; and moving, in the first pseudo-world file system, the attribute file corresponding to the requested cell from the folder corresponding to the first parent cell to the folder corresponding to the second parent cell in response to the avatar moving the requested cell to the second location.
