"There is the world around us, a world of people, tactile sensation, and culture. There is the wired world, inside a computer, of images, personalities, virtual experiences, and a culture all of its own."

==Protocols==
The Wired is assumed to have run mainly IPv4 and IPv6 previously to the attempted upgrade to [[Protocol Seven|IPv7]].
The Wired is assumed to have run mainly with the IPv6. This technology gives the possibility to project yourself into the Wired, to have your own version of yourself in it. The Psyche, a NAVI add-on, is essential to use this function as its fullest.
The Protocols are elaborated by Tachibana General Laboratories.
During the series, we discover the slow establishment of the new protocol, the [[Protocol 7|IPv7]]. The IPv7 was tampered by Masami Eiri who embedded the possibility to upload human mind into the Wired.
==Virtual Reality==

With the use of the Psyche or other advanced technologies, some users have been able to project themselves within The Wired. They can communicate with each other through their persona.
The Wired is representing as a surrealist world most of the time in a black void surrounding. Most of the users aren't able to show their entire physical form, and as a result they take alternative form. A few times during the series, The Wired shows a perfect representation of a place in the real world.
