For those who like to think,

I would like to draw your attention to cyberspace, meatspace and hyperspace.

Mathematically speaking cyberspace is to meatspace as meatspace is to hyperspace.

Please bear with me.

Cyberspace or the internet is a realm of awareness created on the foundation of meatspace. Fibre optics, satellites, computers, manpower and whatnot all come together to uphold this realm. Yet cyberspace is a mere structure among countless others in this world. Without participation the internet as we know it would cease to exist. All this is self-evident to those who participate.

Meatspace or reality is another realm of awareness, infinitely more complex and more diverse than cyberspace. Everyone's been to reality, right? Meatspace was created on the foundation of hyperspace.

Hyperspace or the unknown is yet another realm of awareness, again infinitely more complex and more diverse than meatspace. A variety of structures come together in the unknown to bring about and uphold reality. This is self-evident to those who participate.

For those who want to know if hyperspace is real all I can say is that hyperspace is as real for the participant as meatspace and cyberspace are for their respective participants. Obviously for one who does not participate, cyberspace and hyperspace are not real. There are rare cases of people who no longer participate in meatspace.

An interesting observation is that reality would not exist were there no participation. This is true for any realm of awareness.

One must not identify reality with objects. One doesn't identify the internet with websites, unless one is ignorant of IRC, P2P, torrents, etc.

And on a final note, there is evidence of yet another realm whose relation to hyperspace is as the relation of hyperspace to meatspace, also identical to the relation of meatspace to cyberspace.

The mystery can't be explained my friends, it can only be witnessed. I can only hope you all witness it.

P.S. This is a token of gratitude. I'm sorry it's so little. I'm just a little man.
 
I like veggie- and fruitspace much better! Even grainspace and nutspace are ok. but meatspace??! ghaah.
