by information space is meant the dimension projected by internetworking, 

  a contemporary technology.

information space

  enacts a world.  Artificial in nature, the basis for its origination is a 

  technological foundation.  The enactment is of a new artificial dimension.

Where engagement is possible for the disposition there is a world. 

Although information could qualify many phenomena, including digital  

data found on the computer and virtual data as passed along through 

DNA in its transformative state, here "information space" denotes 

the dimension in which data is presented and exchanged, a virtual 

Technology are distillations from the collective consciousness

of its times actualized. As a counterpart to knowledge, it is 

often presumed to be consequent.

?XTechnologies are distillations from the collective consciousness

and experience from its times, actualized in external form for 

novel shared experience.  Although a counterpart to knowledge, it is

not always consequent to established knowledge as is often presumed.

The information space is new insofar as it did not previously attain 

stable independent existence.  This artificial dimension is now sustainable 

through exceptional circumstances where there are no active minds engaged:

maintenance of the artifice that computes with a continuous input of 

electric energy is sufficient.  

The artificiality of this new dimension is irreducible to its origination in human experience.  

Consensus on which shared mental experience to develop into application resulted in 

actual computational architecture.  It is this computational architecture we have developed 

that opens the nascent dimension.

Artifice comes into existence through the incremental cognitive 

transformation of experience towards the objective of an external technology. 

Through subsequent manipulation of materials found in common reality,

the realization of the objective through the technology created 

is enabled for other individuals. 

Just as insofar as language may have removed some potential in the 

possibilities of wild* experience, technology denominates the type of

phenomena experienced by its users.  In the example of language, 

it availed common abstract structure without which phenomena would 

appear differently, ie. in a continuous undifferentiated manner and 

without form.

Through historical development, the groundwork was devised upon the invention of

 the idea for digital technology which was followed by the development of relevant 

components to be made for building the foundation.

Groundwork for technology of complexity or scale requires planning 

and devising over some substantial duration of time. The developing 

groundwork includes the abstraction layer, the organizing of expertise, 

and the allowance for iterative development of components that could 

eventually constitute the network.  At a certain stage in the network's 

continuous development, expansion of the information space into space

becomes possible.

While some technologies seem to spring from single moments of 

inspiration, other technologies seem to arrive from both dispersed efforts

and collective efforts over time.

Only in hindsight does the development of what later turns out 

to be components appear linear - usually, what fits the greater 

puzzle at any point in time could be a result of little related 

component developments that nevertheless converge in a cohesive 

design of scale.

Where development of technology is not linear but drawn from 

an undefined distribution of sources, each invention and notion 

becomes part of the standing reserve to range from for each idea 

and even collective milestones.

The implication being that decisive reconfigurations of items 

from the reserve will be to meet the future potential. 

The problem of preventing the impression of an inert and limited single

direction forward from appearing concerns how.

>Since the technological components may be placed beyond earth, this dimension is 

extensible through Cartesian space.  

The ascription of a space being Cartesian indicates that it has been 

superposed with mathematical coordinates relative to a 

>point of origin.  The location of matter inside a Cartesian space, whether 

changing or static, could be calculated. A four-dimensional space

may be ascribed in a Cartesian coordinate model.

By Cartesian space is meant a hypothetical uniform dimension 

characterized by its four axes with incremental measure as marked 

with discrete quantities.  This is interposed onto the actual 

spatial-temporal dimension within which physical forms are found.

The units of hardware occupy the spatial-temporal dimension conventionally known as 

physical space.  Once placed, their positions can be continuously tracked using 

>a universal reference dimension constructed from the hypothetical dimension with computation.  

Within the constructed dimension would be coordinates corresponding to 

the effective locations of a component in 

physical space more correctly understood as space-time.

Actions like position tracking and trajectory adjustment through 

the universal reference dimension generated by computation 

from the hypothetical dimension are 

positive and produce data.  

To prevent possible disruption from this and other sources, 

real-time tracking and adjustment presuppose an information space 

which is separate and dedicated, and restricted.  

Trajectory and other data may be exported in a one way 

direction to another information space for review and records.

That coordinates in spatial-temporal localization could be functional as 

identifiers for objects placed into position is due the probability that 

with placement into position the certainty of an object's >real location 

as determined with the construct is increased.

In a mathematical abstraction, 

if objects at certain coordinates within certain trajectories are each

represented as one amongst many objects: their abstract equivalence rends each 

as a single point within a geometrical array of points.

In computation, each thing exists in representation as an object in the defined array

which is instantiable by select qualifiers because the array is transformable 

by their vectors.  The qualifiers are of types that include: identifier;  

instantaneous coordinates; trajectorial trace; connection object type; 

mass and volume class; location in near earth, space, or deep space; [...]

That each defined object contains all its qualifiers and instantaneous attributes 

is constituting a dimension to the constructed multidimensional space 

yet still retains in synonymy as Euclidean points in a mathematical abstraction

and functional equivalence as points of access in the internetwork

instates the unity of the thing by its elementary nature across modes 

by their native environments.

To position in space-time as what is almost an infinitesimally small unit 

despite consisting of determined complexity

advances with simplecticity through its trace the substance of space:

to advance real spatiality as objective to be known premises upon

the result of knowability founded in the act of a unit's traversal that 

actually discloses the location addressed.

Each moment of space-time is qualified in correspondence with 

each instantaneous address of a unit in location that marks 

its position in coordinates in the construct's coordinate system for

the trajectory advances a trace that proves the existence of the moments

of space-time it contains.  

Place is qualified thus:

Where the continuum of space-time remains true for a certain duration, 

the space-time fabric at those locations

could be approximated to be representative and so true as of normal existence.

Whether the continuum of space-time that has remained true 

for a certain duration would have 

the space-time where locate the span to likely be true or 

of the same qualitative value as at other moments in time 

before and after the record cannot be presumed in advance a priori

but may need be applied this way for practical purpose.

Where the space-time fabric within bounding coordinates

for a certain span and duration 

is known to be true as of normal existence, place is qualified as 

the location disclosed. The location has coordinates as 

a definite value relative to both the principle of uniform dimension and 

the principle of differential dimension in the vicinity of massive bodies.

The object of the thing in space is inextricably tied with

the objectivity of the span and duration of space-time 

at which it locates.

The qualification of space as objectively real follows the expansion

of reach by units placed into motion in space: disclosure by

real tracks traced out makes definite the continuum of space-time

in its objectivity beyond hypotheticals and in this way

expand the regions of reach as known by humanity and its make.

Presently available technologies for internetworking to enable an information space 

that spans beyond the Earth include transmission relay satellites, parallel processing sets, 

cache, permanent, and backup data storage, and local access (terminals). 

The projection is that there will be an increase in points of access

which are variously located, in motion where stationed on the lunar surface 

or on earth, in motion within orbital or vehicular trajectories or in motion 

at suspension points. These will have various initial positions: 

they will have positions that not only change relative to the Cartesian space 

but also relative to each other. 

These objects in space time are relational by place to each other for 

the attributes of fixed and moving are predetermined, but that they are in

relational motion as like true celestial objects in the stellar field 

has the implication that there are differential velocities in 

transmission completion because distances between these objects 

could remain changing unless earlier determined otherwise.

The cold vacuum of space as always requires heating whether powered by 

efficient nuclear or other energy.  

All hardware is subject to various hazards of space like damaging cosmic particles.  

Hardware in space requires definite protection as well as monitoring and maintenance.

Fundamental or primitive networking through the vacuum already exists for most if not 

all units which are transmission dependent, whether for interpersonal communication, 

data transmission, or device remote control.

By the irreplaceability in terms of the preciousness of astronaut lives 

as well as the expenditure and uniqueness of each unit,

of utmost importance is security in transmission and remote control;

hence, the absolute security accounted of present proprietary networking

needs be followed with 

exhaustive security for future generalized networking protocols, such to 

come from closed development and resulting networking of exclusivity.

The complexity of the exclusionary nature of outer space networking

is compounded by the fact that components are presently restricted variously,

the restrictions of which are dependent on their native protocol.

This prevents universal networking and security from being immediately applicable,

with the effect that this complexity is for now augmentative to present security 

for the extensive difficulty of sweeping penetration.

Modularity of units including for on a single componennt

in a denominated internetwork may presuppose 

the separation of different functions in their distinct networking 

to prevent intrusive actions into the central functions may it be 

central processing, propulsion, detection, sensing, location, 

transmission, records - 

redudancy of information may result.

The orthogonality of each instrument including for sensing, computing 

and transmission maintains separation between each instrument on a component

and across components in such a way that 

the imagination for a user digital space also commences 

in the generation of a new autonomous protocol and associated design and processes

which might yet be dependent on the electronic and networking surrounds

and the meaning of situation in outer space.

The plan in stages to establish and sustain the permanent form of an information space that 

contains persistent data objects over extended durations would first consider how

computing hardware is distributed or centralized in space. 

The multiplicity of trajectories and changing motions of the projectedly

many units in space as well as periodic and arbitrary incidences of 

occultations realize a 

changing dynamic to the outward physical shape of the network, whether it be

a point to point emergent network, a centralized service based network, 

or a hybrid.

In the current point to point transmission model, each individual unit

communicates with ground control whether through a single point to point

connection or through multiple relay connection: there is no overall network 

nor is there projectedly one.  However, in supposing a denominated point to point

networking protocol, to elevate from this to an effective network 

capable of information transmission is within the realm of probability. 

The problem consists in not questioning such a protocol as extraneous and

rather understand it as fundamental to future virtual environments.

For access points attributed with broadcastible coordinate, statistical,

and other qualifying information to be interconnecting nodes

has for its purpose to generate the real-time and changing 

mathematical-physical model of the network, emergent or otherwise, 

that is a real-time information-deep space-time trajectorial model

of objects in space which are of cartographic significance to astronauts.

Yet, a future digital environment presumably requires amenities in 

file service to provide for persistent data objects: hence, 

the question on how the digital space is presupposed concerns

how the orientation of points of access is designed and engineered.

The plan to establish and sustain the permanent information space that contains persistent data objects over   an extended duration   would consider how computing hardware is distributed or centralized in space.

XThe mediatory nature of information space is threefold - leading to three domains of interactivity

Perception of this technologically enabled information space is of three general types: 

In the simulatory motion through the mediation of computation and 

network, the experience is of something neither physical or mental, 

but technological. Its true nature remains largely unknown and in 

this sense elicits a sense of mystery.  The unknown in an experience 

of the dynamic contained in the actualization of knowledge. The 

elements are of physical make and locate real space.  Peripherally, 

they are computational microelectronics and carrying connections 

occupying the Cartesian dimension.

Accessing the branching divisions, disclosing the issues of data

singularly or in parallel, the shape of the negotiation is traced 

and rendered. The shape is the result of a movement where the mind is 

informed through its active perception and selective retention. 

Although much content is discarded, that the issues of data are 

located at an address, the path undertaken is given shape.

network geometry of light to grasp the possibility of a grander 

design in abstraction.

(

Individuals engage through mediatory objects of data. Objects of data are in built accordance to standardized formats. The object of data is stable 

- its transformation into information occurs at the individual accessing the data object and where it is transferred into binary for transmission through the internetworking fibres and components. In each case the data object remains static and stable in the information space

-The events of informing and being informed so far are separated so that data objects can be persistant. The continuing presence of the objects populate the space to constitute a world in which interaction is mediated by these objects.
