So many wishes from so many people with so very diverse expectations certainly seem really hard to coexist within a single reality, let alone without harming anyone in the process. Only scientifically understandable way I can imagine would be a localized fractalization of reality, each wisher being transfered into a micro-reality suiting their wish, but it would probably cause a hell lot of secondary complications.

Wow ! I didn't realize just how eldritch Terra Ultima is, and the consumption from afar + retroactive replacement makes the whole process imperceptible, and the city itself even more paranoia-inducing. Is Terra Ultima an official place ? Are there ordinary humans living in it, or only Bradley's trusted constructs ? Is its alien-ness noticed by people ? What kind of purposes does it serve ? Does it have a dual public/underground organization ? And if it is a construct of Bradley's soul, what of entity might the emperor be ? Somehow, I get the feeling "human" isn't really an option.

Gotta admit his benevolent totalitarian dichotomy is very interesting, it shows how morally complicated life is, and how very difficult it is to reconcile social justice and political freedom in a single system.

Thank you :) That's what I was trying to convey about Lawrence through the matrix, his immeasurable transcendence behind his very human appearence and personality. In a way, you could say he's like the ultimate transhuman ^ ^

Could you tell me what you think about the practical applications of the matrix ? They are an important part, but my writting was probably lacking, since this second half went mostly unnoticed in the comments.

Sum-up : "I think the most interesting aspect of the Selforge Possibility Matrix is that any part of it can be transfered into reality at the cost of the corresponding resources, and reintegrated just as easily. So the matrix is actually more than a simulation, like an ocean of possibilities waiting to be realized, shiftable back and forth at a moment's notice."

Purely optional again, just wondering how it's like since you know a lot about virtual reality.
