>Virtual things are made in 3D space, a program made for a computer has a physical manifestation to match it and vice versa

>viruses and demons are one in the same, whereas less malevolent programs are simply spirits
>some prefer to take up other monikers, with some groups calling themselves angels or loa, but they're all the same kind of entity
>much like any program, both kinds can be used for both good or ill; demons are simply a bit more hedonistic and deviant then spirits
>the physical counterparts of virtual beings are possessed of their own will, though they share much in perspective with their digital ego
>existing separately from each other, yet bound by a common genesis, the two entities can strengthen their bond by maintaining their Selves, the sets of fundamentals that defined them at birth

>the inhabitants of one can influence the other, although the spiritual realm has a bit of an advantage while physical beings are up shit creek without a paddle
>unless, of course, you're a programmer

> Whenever the digital variant of a physical object is destroyed, the physical object suffers subtle but crippling damage. It is believed that outside of violence, living things die when their digital equivalent is suddenly killed, which is why healthier people live longer.
