"Cyberspace" is not the internet. Cyberspace is a fictional concept that only recently has been defined in concrete terms in the cyberspace meta-protocol here: https://github.com/arkin0x/cyberspace

Because the concept of cyberspace depicted in fiction never came to pass during the explosion of the internet, people simply began to refer to the internet as cyberspace because it was the closest thing that actually existed at the time. However, using the word cyberspace to describe the internet is a poor choice of words, because in this context the "space" part is totally missing. Where is the space in cyberspace? And if the space is simply metaphorical or imaginary or infinite, then cyberspace is a useless descriptor for the internet.

However, if the space in cyberspace were real, finite, and quantifiable then the term would actually have functional meaning.

Before cyber meant what we think of today, it simply meant "distant" or "apart" from.

Cyberspace today refers to an actual finite digital space accessible via machine that functions as an extension of reality because it is permissionless and governed by thermodynamics. #cyberspace #ONOSENDAI
