Real Space
Real Space, also referred to as the Real Number Domain or Normal Space, is the physical half of the Lower Domain where the Xenosaga series takes place.
Description[edit]
Real space is a layer of reality that exists in tandem with the "spiritual" world, Imaginary Space. While both realms exist as two sides of the same coin, only Real Space can be regularly perceived, as Imaginary Space is purely metaphysical. With this in mind, it could be said that everything that happens in the Xenosaga series is portrayed from a Real Space perspective. Everything in Imaginary Space has an equivalent existence in Real Space.
A person's consciousness that exists in Imaginary Space can only obtain individuality through inhabiting a physical body in Real Space. In doing so, a physical distinction is made between one's self and others. As such, a physical body acts as a consciousness' sort of "anchor" to the physical world. When this anchor is lost, i.e., the person's body dies, their consciousness loses its individuality and returns to the Collective Unconscious.
Humanity[edit]
- Main article: Human
Humans are the predominant intelligent species in Real Space. Despite having explored the cosmos for about 5000 years, humanity never discovered any other traces of intelligent life. With the exception of the man-made artificial life of Realians and Androids, humanity is the sole intelligent species with consciousnesses existing in Imaginary Space.
