Nature of the Omniverse
The omniverse appears to be a perpetual series of nested simulations.
Host Universe
This area is for information about the universe that is simulating the story's main universe in the game "Life".
- The preferred term for "game mods" is "game hacks" instead.
- The old gods appear to be old school players of the game "Life" insinuating that time passes much slower outside of the simulation.
- When logged off the avatars of the players are either gone or set on AI (act like normal people), depending on the wishes of the player. If set on AI they are "in character" constantly. They will act in a manner consistent with how the player plays them in character; but will not be able to converse about the host universe, or any other knowledge the player has but the character does not.
