"If everything that exists

Nobody knows how many species and worlds exist here, in fact.

In Here, virtual rules.
Trees are replicated without the official permission. Grass data spread around
is full of digital dirt.
Water, dead leafs, buildings "I made that one yesterday, to have
something shiny in the dark."
"Remember the Matrix?
People here have chosen somehow the same World Mode. Buildings look like those
former XX
century East European's, with a little of oriental influence / mixed with
that socialistic touch -
It's the way they like it!"
"...The other important material,
like Human Entertainment Data
(ED), is stored and distributed
for free, and thus not considered as something highly valuable, it is like
air people breath, or water
they drink. CopyMust data material is easily unconsciously accepted, but with
visible mutations
returned in the Real.
What is "glamorous", "must-have" and "in-stores-now!"
is accessed easily,
through cheap surrogates and it is normal and equally great as in the World
Mode outside."
C'mon Madonna!
I had enough of your ED, it's everywhere and it's free - Please, come! I want
to see you dancing in sweat,
to see if you are really alive!

Madonna bot replies:
Dear Andrea, 14!
We are not yet sure about the visit to the 43'N32'' 23'E11'' and surrounding
square kilometers.
You can find more information about this on madonna.com | .org | .net | .museo
| .inf | .sex
Be sure to include the fingerprint, because I would really like to stay in
touch with you, Andrea, 14.
Always yours, Madonna

But she is not sure if the story is true! She is totally fucked!

Frame
When I say "reports from Here" on the first level it can be conceptualized
as 'from Yugoslavia'.
At the present moment 'Yugoslavia' is also a sort of Kingdom of Piracy, but
existing in a real world. Act of piracy here is something like breathing air,
or having glass of water. That's the place we live in, there is nothing special
about it. But, how would fantasmic 'Yugoslavia' look in the near future? What
kind of place would it actually be? We go step further, passing by the notions
of geopolitics: future is now (if we can think it, it already exists):
there is no more Yugoslavia, actually, any country doesn't exist any more
now, what exists is World Data Pool with eventually particular sectors
in it that differentiate.
- "Where am I now?"
- "You are at 44°N49' / 20°E27'
(geographical coordinates of Belgrade, measurements for the Real World; Virtual
one uses server identifiers as coordinates).
This conceptualized, fantasmic total piracy sector would have to be totally
isolated and invisible for the rest of the 'normal' world, which we would
call Shining World Mode, because it is build on totalitarian capitalistic/
surveillance/ controlled/ drugged-consumer happiness/ premises. 'Here' is
invisible because of some glitches in World Data Pool; "here" is
surrounded by see of bad sectors of data... like an island, or dump...
Dictionary of terms
Constitutive World Data (CWD)
It is also popularly called Matrix data; pieces of information used for building
world around us, arranged as code/ or mental map. In some cases: data that
makes particular and personal angle of view toward world, personal philosophy.
Similar: data for building "screen in front of the eyes" (fig.)
onto Real world is projecting itself.
CWD also incorporates human gene pool: complete Homo sapiens DNK information.
CWD is hacked and accessible, even for private needs.
Human Entertainment Data (ED)
Any other supplementary data material (other than CWD) that is used for human
entertainment and usually control: all sort of audio-visual-sensory data (arranged
as: music, movies, commercials, self-commercials), electronic drugs and stimuli,
orgasmic and serotonin stimulation data, etc.
ED is usually expensive, but not here it's free, because it's pirated.
CopyMust Data
Parallel to Copyright and Copyleft data, CopyMust is usually implemented in
ED and in CWD, and used for building value system in humans, or for other
purposes. Used in ED, it is usually streamed to lower levels of consciousness,
using alpha-state of brain activity. Entertainment Industry also uses to certain
extent (regulated by law) CopyMust Data to self-potentate ED, by enlarging
need for ED.
CopyMust is also known in Here, but it is sometimes damaged or jammed with
other data in process of hacking.
