Cosmology of the Virtual Adepts
rdfs:comment
The Virtual Adepts (VAs) have a mathematical view of the cosmos based more on theoretical physics than on the mysticism espoused by many of the other Traditions. Its origins trace back to the VAs discovery of Virtual Space back in their days as a member of the Technocracy. The invention of the telephone seemed to open up a new realm outside of normal reality, a place that existed as information and ideas. Intrigued by how two individuals conversing over the telephone talked as if they were right across from one another, they theorized that there was a realm outside normal space where distance didn't separate the two. The concept was eventually driven by the vision of Alan Turing, who believed there was a virtual reality "below" Consensual Reality, accessible by computers and where anything
