Let’s give cyberspace the same ontological status as real space. Let’s assume that although it is allready part of our real space, that it could hypothetically be inhabited by cyber-creatures because it would be a physical space. In order to make this assumption, we must question the nature of the laws governing this space. The essence of these cyber-laws are the laws of logic itself, since a web page is nothing but computer code. However, it is possible for these cyber-laws to mimic our physical laws in a limited two-dimensional sense, by setting up complex instructions through the use of cyber-laws as axioms.
The objects which exist in cyberspace have form and function much like objects in the real world, but they are hypothetical to us. This is because they exist in ones and zeros in a programming language and so their existence is conceptually divorced from our space, even if we grant the same ontological status to their space. We cannot inhabit cyberspace, even though it exists within our real space.
So we come to the question: since these objects exist in a space conceptually divorced from ours, can we derive the same epistemology from them as we do in our world, or is there an alien epistemology involved? What I mean is: what is the truth-correspondence between the thought-objects and the concepts that we can derive from them if we are merely peeking into their world as an outsider?
This website seeks to explore the relationship between the logical laws of cyberspace and the non-propositional meta-logic derived from the objects contained in cyberspace.
I am still profoundly ignorant on these matters, but intend to expand my understanding in the coming years.
Enjoy the journey!
