The Noetic Sense

The Noetic Sense is a metaphysical embodiment of the deep web and its contents. By traversing a gateway, one will be lead to this realm, swarmed by Cyberspawn and caught under the radar of covert activity tracked by abstract supercomputers that dominate the ever-expanding plane.

Geography
The entirety of the Noetic Sense is difficult to describe. It is a dark plane of nothingness where vague and murky shapes roam the view. Gigantic monitors displaying glitchy images of space-like backgrounds surround the area, giving it light and vibrancy.

There exists a dystopian and chaotic architectural style that is natural to the realm. It consists of floating platforms, gigantic pipes and several favela-like structures, alongside skyscrapers that are scattered across the atmosphere.

Inhabitancy
The Noetic Sense is filled to the brim with artificial intelligence, alongside Burtegians and other species who have been unwillingly transcended into the realm. Almost the entirety of the population has been involved with illegal activity and have yet to be punished by federal forces. The most dangerous malefactor within the Noetic Sense is 0M3N, one of the very few interlopers capable of entering the realm by their own will. It is unlikely that other foreigners will proceed to reside in the Noetic Sense.

History
The earliest documentation of traversing the Noetic Sense was when an experimental containment cell was constructed within the highly secured Urborium sectors. At the start of the cell's lifetime, an exploration team was sent into the realm, only to be challenged by the machine beings that live there. The Urborium has since then began surveying and controlling a selective amount of territories, only activating the cell when necessary, for it was crucial to pacify the risk of cyberspace and the ascended hackers within.
