Matrix

[FidoNet]

1. What the Opus BBS software and sysops call {FidoNet}.
2. Fanciful term for a {cyberspace} expected to emerge from current networking experiments (see {the network}). The name of the rather good 1999 {cypherpunk} movie The Matrix played on this sense, which however had been established for years before.
3. The totality of present-day computer networks (popularized in this sense by John Quarterman; rare outside academic literature).
