I have planned to do just that ever since I realized AP might just be possible. I just need to get quite a bit better at the art before I try such an experiment. Better, as in having enough control to have a fairly high success rate at actually getting out. =)

I can't see it being very interesting. The actual inner workings of the internet are actually very boring.
Sorry, im a computer science student. Unless packets and binary are are your think then i doubt you would find it even vaguely interesting.

You're obviously not a hacker. [Tongue]
(Hacker, as in its old skool meaning, and IMO only meaning. [Wink])

And I wonder if you'd see that API of the OS, or a symbolical representation of data, or like you said, ones and zeros.

No im not a hacker. Too lazy to be a hacker[Smiley]

I guess that you would probably see just the electrical signal. It would give anyone a serious headache trying to translate that into something meaningful without a computer.

As far as I can tell the astral is a world closely related to information, so maybe the net would turn symbolical for the astral explorer. Interaction with the physical (electronic pulses) net might not be what we'd encounter, but rather the information those pulses represent.

actually i was thinking more along the lines of what we see on the screen, not the data. i mean being able to travel ov the net would be cool. but if its gonna be just 1's and zero's or something like that, than maybe i might not want go there. but just to look around i might try it out.

Don't forget to tell us what you see. [Cheesy]

Or maybe post here while you're at it. [Wink]

When you can do at least 10 million binary math problems per second in astral, then you might be able to play a computer game by projecting into the computer circuits. I doubt you're fast enough. If you get even 1 of those problems wrong, the whole game could crash.

I would like to see what would happen if you projected into the video game itself.  Now that would be cool, interacting with the characters and finding out who they really like instead of having to guess at it all from the conversations set up by the programmers, that would make fanfic writing so much easier.

I think you couldn't change the programmers code.

No you couldn't I am saying that becuase of the game you are able to go to a spot in the astral where the characters exist and interact with them like that.  

It would be the same kind of thing you can do for paintings, someone mentioned printing out the Astral Pulse Island and then flying into it so I don't think it would be imposiblle in the astral to do the same thing with what is on your computer or tv screen at the time.
