Genesis.World (genesis v0.5.1)

The World is a GenServer that acts as a registry and manages the lifecycle of objects and aspects. It is responsible for creating, cloning, and destroying objects, as well as registering aspects and prefabs. It also manages the event routing for objects and aspects, ensuring that events are dispatched to the correct handlers.
