The Mainframe

## Basic Information

Apart from that of the Database itself, the Mainframe is one of the most significant components to the Manicverse and its overall functioning capabilities. The Database more or less can do everything the Divisions of Power can do, however, each Division is more specialized for each task, for example, the Mainframe focuses more on security and preventing any catastrophes from ultimately harming the verse. This in turn would provide the Mainframe with a substantial amount of authority and power, however, this power is next to nothing compared to that of the Database itself. In terms of appearance, the Mainframe does look quite similar to that of the Database, though instead of it being purple, it’ll have a more bluish-purple hue, not to mention how along with the strands of code which can be seen zipping from place to place in neat, organized lines compared to the more random directions the code travels in the Database. There are also several large chunks of mass and matter which can be seen out in the distance. The origins of these land masses are unknown, however, it’s a high possibility that several segments of code had, overtime, clumped together, which at first had been nothing more than a jumble of code, but eventually turned into something tangible, these being the land masses that can be seen. While within the Mainframe, if someone were to look directly upwards at a straight 90 degrees, there would be a small, yet immensely bright light. This light radiates a dark blue color, which mixes in with the general ambience that the Mainframe has already, thus creating the bluish-purple hue that most see when entering the Mainframe. No matter where you are within the Mainframe, this light will seemingly never move and will always remain stationary while also being seen anywhere one travels.

In the beginning, the Mainframe used to be stored within the Database, as it didn’t have any specific name, yet was more or less just a program that ran all the security and safety protocols that the Database had. Once the Database had split its power into the many divisions that now exist, the Mainframe, along with all of the other newly created Divisions were released from the Database and scattered across the Manicverse, making it more difficult to attain the absolute power that the Database held. While the Mainframe appears fairly similar to that of the Database, everything else is vastly different in terms of Constructs. The Mainframe in terms of temperature is about 150℃ warmer than that of the Database, however, its temperatures still reside below freezing (putting it at -25℃). The reason that the Mainframe is decently warmer than that of the Database would be due to the substantial amount of code that’s flowing in all directions. The Database typically condenses code into a smaller space so that it can be directed easier and quicker, the Mainframe instead allows Code to reside throughout the entirety of the Void that makes up its existence. In terms of radiation, the Mainframe is also on a lower scale, though that doesn’t change the fact that the radiation still makes it incredibly difficult to live in. Unlike the Database, which has a radiation level of 783.57 watts per kilogram, the Mainframe only has 593.02 watts per kilogram of radiation, making it ever so slightly more tolerable to withstand. The energy levels of the Mainframe are still immense, however, in comparison to the Database, the energy levels of the Mainframe may appear to be much, much lower. The Mainframe doesn’t have infinite energy, though it does receive a good portion of its energy from the Database, while also generating power of its own, this allows for it to still be on the higher end of the scale out of the Divisions, yet still, its power is obsolete in comparison.

Like the other Divisions of power that the Database has, The Mainframe holds significant influence across the Manicverse, this also leads into the level of authority that the Mainframe has. While the Mainframe also has authority on an Outerversal scale, the comparison of the authority of the Database and the Mainframe are vastly different. The reason that all of these Divisions even have such authority is due to the fact that the Database has absolute Outerversal Authority, as everything within the Manicverse bends to its will. The Mainframe, along with the other divisions of power, while they do have Outerversal authority, it’s far weaker than that of the Database’s, this being a safety feature that was installed so that none of the other divisions can overrule the Database. The authority each division has is also linked to the CORE that resides within the center of each division, as without the CORE, the Mainframe would lose its connection with the Database, essentially opening the Manicverse up for invasion by outside verses, as most security protocols would be offline. Of course the Database does have safety measures of its own, but with the Mainframe offline, it would only add stress to the other divisions as well as the Database specifically, thus why it's almost essential that each division is functioning as intended.

In terms of inhabitants, the Mainframe is quite similar to the Database. It’s next to impossible to reside within the Mainframe, and very few entities actually do reside within it. There are numerous reasons for this, the obvious reason is that the Mainframe is very deadly to most simply due to the harsh conditions that it upholds. Furthermore, if anything were to bypass and infiltrate the Mainframe, the CORE will react by creating countless entities that are nothing but coded amalgamations, all which are given a singular command, terminate the threat. Once the threat is dealt with, all of these coded amalgamations will disintegrate back into code before retreating back to the Mainframe. If these entities are exposed to other variations of code, this may alter their initial programming, giving them a form of sentience that’ll be developed overtime. If this happens, they won’t be reduced to nothing but code and sent back to the Mainframe, yet will simply return “home” and reside within the Mainframe. Along with this, the Mainframe is almost constantly changing locations. Typically, the Mainframe can be reached through any sort of realm/plane of existence that borders between Universes, or even Multiverses, an example being an Anti-Void. Only a few Anti-Voids will have access to the Mainframe at a time, however, the Anti-Void near Alphatale Neo almost always has a connection to it, though it’s unclear as to why. The Mainframe tends to change locations every cycle, similar to all of the other divisions, as the only one that doesn't change locations is the Database itself. One of the only known inhabitants of the Mainframe is Starlight!404, who was previously known as William. He was one of four children of Wendy Ambrose Gaster and mistakenly stumbled across the Mainframe while fighting his brother, Jacob. Why the Mainframe had not killed him upon entry or how he was even able to infiltrate the Mainframe in the first place are both unknown, yet now, 404 has made it his home, and often can be seen residing within the Mainframe if not out attending to other matters.
