Unus Mundus Network UMN ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is used also for a space jump or ultra high-speed communication * Development The organization that developed the UMN is Vector Industries. That development had already been started at the end of the 21st century. It was necessary to run from the area shift (strange attractor) that was caused by the Zohar discovered at lake Turkana and after escaping the Earth the development was continued on the immigrant (this word can also mean emigrant) fleet and the initial stages of the UMN were planned. The sponsor of the project to excavate the Zohar on Earth was Vector Industries. Also, the UMN development that was started after that was also backed by Vector Industries. This is not a mere coincidence. The purpose of developing the UMN in the first place was the control and management of the Zohar. That was a connection with an extraordinary existence that was able to cause a strange attractor and wishful objective to control the power that surpassed human knowledge. However, that is a story that is already 4000 in the past and it is not certain how similar the current day UMN is to the original plans and objectives. * Management Just as the proper name "Unus Mundus Network" shows, the current UMN is recognized by people as a vast information network connecting all of outer space and in reality is being used with that as the central function. It is also used for space jumps and high speed communication and has become essential infrastructure to the people's lives. The administration and management is done by the Galaxy Federation Government. The name "Unus Mundus" is a word with the meaning "transcendental higher order structure" that was proposed by a psychologists several thousand years ago. Whatever was the original meaning as it was used by the psychologist, the network structure that makes possible gate jumps that are the law of hyperspace ships and matter transfer could be interpreted as a "transcendental higher order structure." This network releases people from the binds of time and space and makes it possible to expand through the enormous area outer space while sharing the same general concept of space and time (uncertain on translation). This sharing of the same general concept of space and time is essential for organizing the cooperative body. Without this feeling of sharing (joint ownership?) it could not be "One World." Because they mutually has the general concept of one world, they are able to organize a government called the Galaxy Federation. Because of this meaning, the value of the UMN is not limited to merely a useful piece of infrastructure. * Hyperspace The special space that ships pass through when they gate jump is called hyperspace and is seen as a sparkling tube. Ships in the middle of a gate jump fly through the hyperspace tube. The inner walls of the tube are called the border and the phenomena of an outbreak of extreme temperatures upon contact has been confirmed. What kind of thing is the border? Is it an existence like a membrane that separates the space outside and inside the tube or is it like the surface of the water separating the water and the air. Also, due to the extreme amounts of radiation floating around in hyperspace, entering without wearing a spacesuit means certain death. Because of this it is difficult to guess about the condition inside hyperspace. Recognizing and using something and understanding something are separate problems. In any case, excluding hyperspace (unsure of translation), in order to gate jump it is necessary to use the UMN. Columns are the areas that become the entrance/exit for gate jumps and entering and exiting hyperspace is usually only possible within the effective range of the columns. However, both cases in which the Gnosis ignore the effective range of the columns and appear from hyperspace at arbitrary locations and instances of interference from outside of hyperspace dragging out ships in flight have been confirmed. From this fact it is apparent that the UMN columns and the entrances/exits to hyperspace are not absolutely linked. It is just that with human technology the columns are used as an entrance/exit to hyperspace and if we had the abilities of the Gnosis the columns would be irrelevant. Also, when you gate-jump, you are charged a transportation fee, but this is a construction that charges you for use of the columns. There is a specific tax amount and the fee changes depending on the distance between the entrance and exit of the column and cargo. The fees are used as government UMN management expenditures. However, high government officials are exempt from these usage fees, a fact which has caused many users to raise voices of discontent. Also, they are searching for a politician that can change that situation. * Access Point In order to upload data it is necessary to use an access point. If it is a normal access to the UMN you can do it with the connection gear without choosing a place. However, when performing a special function one must use an access point. For example, that is when one is automatically uploading a record of one's own actions to the UMN or playing various games or even diving into an encephalon reconstruction of a place that one has visited in the past. All of them require a special program download and the power to import and export a huge amount of data in an instant. In particular, one cannot omit using the access point when importing and exporting information of past experiences. There are artificially established access points and then there are things like tears in the structure of the network that are cases of the OS originally establishing an access point in the real world. It is not as if access points have a physical device, but rather they display the coordinates of a place where by using the connection gear one can deeply link to the UMN. A hologram of a golden plate appears as a landmark in these places. The access points that are originally produced by the UMN OS can arise even in establishments that are not currently in use such as the interior of the Song of Nephilim device or Proto Merkabah. Shion and the others have escaped danger countless times by using these kind of operations. Interpreting whether that condition is a coincidence or a probability in terms of a philosophical proposition it is not fit for an observer.
