A very interesting question ^ ^ Truth be told, the Metaradise was originally imagined as citizens' afterlife, basically to Selforge City what Heaven is to Earth : a metaphysical place of exponentially transcendent happiness. Even better since afterlife citizens could stay in touch with the community and world at large through Lawrence, and even materialize back into the physical world whenever they want, notably for social and family purposes.

But it the end, the bittersweet concept of afterlife seemed out of place in Selforge City, in which everything is constantly adapted for optimal long-term happiness, where citizen are already immortal and can change even themselves at will, and are under the loving protection of an entity that puts the concept of godhood to shame. In short, Selforge is already Heaven, so an afterlife was ultimately unnecessary.

That's why the Metaradise was implemented as a periodical dream-like metaphysical experience rather than a final rest dimension. Though I also seized the opportunity to explain why individual citizens don't feel the need for an afterlife on a more personal level (see the last sentence of the last paragraph in the "Selforge Wonderland" section).
