world state
How things are
World state refers to the complete configuration of a system at a given moment—every variable, position, and condition captured as a snapshot.
In gaming and simulation, the world state tracks all objects, characters, and their properties: The server syncs the world state every tick.
In philosophy and physics, it describes the total state of the universe at an instant.
A world state can also mean a hypothetical single global government uniting all nations under one political authority.
