Abstract
A computing system and method to implement a three-dimensional virtual reality world having user created virtual objects. A platonic object identifies a list of objects as different versions of the platonic object. Each respective object has: a blueprint identifying resource objects that are used to construct the respective object in the virtual reality world; and a provenance node identifying the platonic object of the respective object, a creator of the respective object, and a set of access control parameters of the respective object. A server computer hosting the virtual reality world control access to instances of the platonic object according to access control parameters stored in the tree of provenance nodes for the objects connected via the blueprints and the platonic object.
