===Digital Aether===
Also known as the Electro Radio Aether,<ref>the Electro-Radio Aether slowly overtaking this particular area in the handling of memory, principles, and the dead.  It is an imperfect adaptation thus far, and the scrap escapes both Ruin and ERA. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/04/12 Excerpt] from [[Wild Abandon 18.a]]</ref> this realm is related to [[technology]] and [[technomancy]].<ref name=":7" /><ref>[[Crossed with Silver 19.4]]</ref> Technically a network of subrealms related to technology,<ref name="TecAe">“The way technomancy Others tend to work… Technomancy’s usually classified as a realms practice, like studies of the Abyss, Paths, Ruins, whatever.  That’s because distance takes on different meaning when you’re talking about wires and signals traveling at the speed of light.  It becomes about territory, all around the world, and the connections that tie them together.”<br>[...]<br>“So the server farm in Lucy’s reach isn’t always going to be a good choice for certain Others.  But the same setup in Judge Verona’s reach?  Yeah.  Certain technomancy will or won’t work, depending.  Older, retro stuff is more consistent.  Which makes the Digital Aether a patchwork of territories where different Others exist on different levels and comfort zones, which we term ''channels'', and again, distance doesn’t matter as much.  Usually. [...]  but if they meet the right conditions, they can ride the lightning and zip over somewhere else.  But they might have a preferred channel they like to operate in.  They might like to go between here and there, but over there, the Lord might be more restrictive with letting anything happen, after a Bugge incident, for example.  So they just end up hanging out here, where there’s a cluster of workable things they need, local power isn’t interfering with them. [...] you can run into situations where they move so fast between spots they can seem to exist in multiple places at once.  The nightmare scenario is a dangerous technomancy Other hits a critical mass where they exist at full power in too many places at once, and reality starts to break down. [...] We use the terminology of zones and channels and other stuff because we’re playing a game that’s unfair.  You can’t outrun an Other that may be able to move from one key tactical point to another like they’re flicking a light switch.  You have to anticipate, you have to plan ahead, cut them off.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/11/01 Excerpt] from [[In Absentia 21.8a]]</ref> on the order of hundreds, <ref>:Lotus Screeners are a subtype of Lotus Eater that only appeared a few years ago, but as with many things technomancy, spread very aggressively across hundreds of interconnected technomantic sub-realms in a frighteningly short span of times. - Wildbow on Discord</ref> with specific Others at home in a selection of these sub-realm "Channels".<ref name="TecAe"/>
