  Cyberspace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cyberspace, a metaphoric abstraction used in philosophy and computing, is a (virtual) reality which represents the Noosphere/Popperian Cosmology (3 worlds) both "inside" computers and "on" computer networks.
The word "cyberspace" (a portmanteau of cybernetics and space) was coined by William Gibson, the Canadian/American science fiction writer who defined its cyberpunk sub-genre, in 1982 in his novelette "Burning Chrome" in Omni magazine.
Immersed in cyberspace and maintaining their life by teleoperation, they have never imagined that life could be any different from that.

where c is a constant, the “speed limit” of cyberspace (as c is the speed of light in physical space), l is the level of detail, b is bandwidth of the internetwork, p is processor capacity, D is the number of dimensions of the cyberspace, and r is the position within the space.
Cyberspace Protocol fits well into this model, with two exceptions; multiple hosts which collaborate on a space, and the identification of a “filename” associated with a registered volume of space.

 Cyberspace
Gibson's cyberspace is thus not a space of passive data, such as a library: its communication channels connect to the real world, and allow cyberspace navigators to interact with that world.
The reference to cybernetics is important in a third respect: cybernetics defines itself as a science of information and communication, and cyberspace's substrate is precisely the joint network of all existing communication channels and information stores connecting people and machines.
I would venture that it is that last dimension which will turn out to be the most important one in the future, as it may form the substrate for a cybernetic "superbeing" or "metabeing"...
