Comprised below is a dossier on known denizens of the 3rdNet that are aware of Interphasic Space, or the analog world

The 3rdNet might have been the most important step in the development of arcanotechnology and the Cosmic Era. It is also the thing that had the greatest chance of wiping out not just humanity, but biological organic life on the planet. Thankfully, the 3rdNet was turned off before that.

Also known as the streams, online, the cognosphere, and a dozen other terrible, dumb, or attempted copyright names, it is the output of the CogNet

Between automation and lifestyle changes, the general populace of the Cosmic Era's First World no longer has to engage in employment to secure their survival. Many turn to the virtual world of the CogNet to make a better life for themselves.
