The U.M.N. (short for Unus Mundus Network) is an informational network that spans the entirety of the Xenosaga universe. Its existence has brought about technology such as faster than light speed communication and transportation.

Episode I

U.M.N.

Short for "Unus Mundus Network."

An informational network that spans the entire universe. Its non-locality is a large factor in its use in space warps and FTL (faster than light) communications.

The term unus mundus, literally "one world," was used by psychiatrist C.G. Jung to describe a state beyond this world where every contradiction in physics, like synchronicity and the EPR Paradox, can be explained.

A place where every relationship, such as that of the mind to mind, or mind to matter, can also make sense.

Episode III

U.M.N.

The wide-area information network connecting the entire galaxy.

Stands for "Unus Mundus Network."

This is the wide-area information network connecting the entire galaxy; it is used in spatial hops and faster-than-light communications, taking advantage of its distinctive non-locality; it uses the EPR paradox to establish connections without being bound by time or space.

The U.M.N. was developed by Vector after Lost Jerusalem disappeared; its administration was then handed over to the Galaxy Federation. However, no records remain from its development period, so there is no way to verify any of the details.

Lately, a large number of Gnosis encounters have been reported on the U.M.N. and within the Encephalon. The mastermind behind Gnosis terrorism, Grimoire Verum, has also used the U.M.N. for various events, leading some to speculate about a connection between the U.M.N. and the appearance of Gnosis.

"Unus Mundus" refers to C.G. Jung's theory of the collective unconscious; it can explain the inconsistencies of synchronicity and the EPR paradox from a physics standpoint, as well as the mutually complementary connection and relationship between two minds and between mind and matter.

In the story, it refers to a collective unconscious network where human consciousness are overlaid with and rendered alongside the network.

Xenosaga I & II

U.M.N.

“Unus Mundus Network”…ウーヌス・ムンドゥス・ネットワークの略。
全宇宙を結ぶ広域情報ネットワークでその特質でもある非局所性を利用し、空間跳躍や超光速通信に用いられており、EPRパラドックスを利用して、時間や空間の制約を受けず成立させることが可能なネットワークシステム。
U.M.N.の開発は、ロスト・エルサレム消失後に、ヴェクターによって行われ、その後星団連邦へその管理を譲渡されているが、開発時の一切の記録が残されていないため、その詳細を確かめるすべはない。
ウーヌス・ムンドゥスとはC.G.ユングが唱えた集合無意識のことを指し、これにより共時性やEPRパラドックスといった物理学上の矛盾点を説明出来る他、心と心、心と物質といった相互に補完、連結しあうモノ同士の関係も説明出来るとされている。
劇中では、制約のない集合無意識的なネットワークという意味合いで、人の意識とネットワークというものを重ね合わせ解釈している。
