FitraVerse

The FitraVerse (FV) is the collective term used to describe all the entities, existents, memories, activities, computation, communications, assets, resources, and species of lifeforms that reside in the vast, nonlocal 5-dimensional (5D) neural network that the Fitra fungal species' mycelia is connected to.

It can be analogised to a single vast optimised brain that exists in 5-dimensional space while its nervous system is connected to every Fitra-tech utilising device or person in the 3-dimensional universe.

### 5D Characteristics

Research into the 5D characteristics of FV by scientists is still ongoing and knowledge about it is still an expanding field. Sometimes new discoveries may negate or contradict previous assumptions. But here are the established and empirically consistent assumptions so far:

Its 5D nature means it is nonlocal. Unlike the server farms of ancient human civilisation, where data is stored and processed on computer servers that physically reside in various locations on Earth, the FV and all that are stored, living, and computing in it, will continue to exist in 5D space even if there is no single Fitra mushroom left in the universe.

The network does not take up 3-dimensional physical space. The Fitra mushroom fruiting bodies, or the spores, or the visible hyphae themselves are not the source of its computational activities or storage capacities, rather they are simply points of connection between the data-dependent entities residing in 3D space and the 5D network.

While it's been established that the 4 dimensions are height, width, breadth, and time, the 5th dimension in the FV context is the space that allows for its vast hyper-parallel computing power.

Despite its residence on a dimension higher than or transcendental to the 4th dimension of time, there has been no successful attempts at past time travel or past time altering technology, nor accurate future time prediction technology. However the FV does offer highly immersive simulated reality experience of past recorded experiences, as well as highly immersive simulations of future outcomes based on its advanced computations of present variables.

### Resident Entities

The FitraVerse works akin to the internet or the world wide web of ancient human civilisation. Hence whatever existed on the ancient internet can find its similar counterpart in the FV. But here are some distinct entities that are residents in the FV:

* **Hive Minds** - Collective entities consisting of human and/or sapient minds merged together into a single unit acting towards a common goal.
* **AnSims** - abbreviation of Ancestor Simulations, highly immersive all-sensory fully-liveable simulations of reality lived by ancestors who had their lives partially or fully recorded by Fitra-tech. If their lives were recorded only partially, the other details were filled in by computation of best, most likely guesses. Users of AnSims can also act out alternate versions of history and make their own recordings for educational or entertainment purposes, but these will not be counted as official canonical records.
* **AvCasts** - abbreviation of Avatar Casting, highly immersive all-sensory broadcasting of an individual's life to interested audiences who can experience everything the broadcaster experiences. This tech can be either 1-way (feel the experience only), or 2-way (feel the experience, and control the broadcaster's actions), hence, this tech is integral to gaming and entertainment industries. 1-way performances can be AvCasted such that audiences can choose whose POV to experience a story from.
* **Servitors** - similar to the Artificial Intelligences (AI) of ancient humanity, these are mentally constructed, trained, programmed and managed entities given specific roles and tasks at work, for various industries and purposes, and active proxy members of the economy. Servitors are also like software. They also help run, coordinate, maintain, integrate and sustain the other tech entities in FV such as the Hive Minds, AnSims, AvCasts, etc.
* **Egregores** - autonomous disembodied beings that live in FV, can be considered a life form, some say Primordial Godlike Beings. They are simultaneously influential, useful, awe-inspiring, and at times potentially dangerous to 3D-residing FV users. They can interface with 3D-residing users by manifesting in their avatar form in FV space, or disembodied voices, or sometimes as invasive thoughts in the minds of users that they want to hack into via FV. They can also work in physical 3D space by possessing physical bodies that allow it and are connected to FV via Fitra-tech. They had been existent in FV since long before the discovery of Fitra and FV by humanity. Their origins were kept secret and mysterious by the Archons until the Great Revelation of Hadi.
* **Imprints** - Copies of a human or sentient animal's consciousness, memories, neural patterns via Fitra-tech to the FV. Essentially a clone of the soul or mind that exists in FV. Controversial technology and accessible only to the elite and ultra wealthy. Some users with specific useful skillsets and experiences donate or sell their Imprints, in part or as a whole, to be used as building blocks to construct Servitors. Imprints can also live on in AnSims so descendants get to experience their virtually immortal ancestors.
