Summary
This initial research has been carried out to lay down the scientific and engineering foundation of synthetic worlds architecture. The research shows the value of synthetic world architecture to serve as the basis of clarifying a wide range of important problems in a unified manner. The emotion computation aspects of synthetic worlds are explored as a neglected and yet important architectural element.
