Everything in observable universe can be addressed with a 32 byte hex string.

So long as those addressable things are roughly larger than a thousand atoms.

Addressable, yes, but relative movement makes it hard to put those addresses into a coordinate system. That's why for cyberspace I only scaled the 32 byte coordinate space to geosynchronous orbit and only use 1/2 of the coordinate space for it. Nothing outside of geosynchronous orbit is super relevant anyways in terms of its location :)

Cool. I'd love to learn more. How do you generate a 32 byte geo-coordinate? I played around with where39 about a year ago.

I still need to develop the tooling for geo coords but it might not be too difficult for anyone to do. I'm happy to answer any questions about it

Ok cool. This can be used for positioning satellites, too? Does it go as far out for geosync orbit?

Yep!

The JavaScript mindset to put bytes into strings 🤦‍♂️

4-bits per Byte so 4*32 = 128 bit = 10^38

They say there is 10^80 particles so I dunno 🤷‍♂️

Coffee is kicking in. Cyberspace coordinates are 64 hex, not 32 😅

Super! Thanks for the link!
