PlaNet

The Planar Link Access Network over Expanding Threads (PlaNet/PLANET), commonly known as the Net, represents a groundbreaking framework for seamless interconnectivity between devices across the Theotech QuantumLink system. The PlaNet boasts remarkable adaptability with its self-maintaining structure and infinite upgrade potential, thus allowing for an ever-growing interconnected network between myriad devices.

Leveraging the speed and efficiency of the PTP (PlaNet Transfer Protocol), data is swiftly transferred between servers and clients. These crucial components of the PlaNet bear distinct functions:

  1. The server, typically stationary on a station or planet, is responsible for storing the resources necessary to display and interact with PlaNet PAGEs (Planar Access Grid Engrams).
  2. The client, encompassing a wide variety of systems and devices, facilitates access and interaction with the resources available on the PlaNet.

PlaNet clients encompass a diverse range of technologies, including but not limited to threedims, terminals, NVR headsets (utilising the Interior suite of protocols), virtual machines, companion devices, and research systems. This flexibility ensures that virtually any device with the capacity to link with the PlaNet may join the ever-expanding network.

The Origins of the PlaNet trace back to a unique collaboration between visionary engineers, quantum physicists, and computer scientists in the late last Century of the Pre-Universal Era. As the limitations of conventional networking became apparent in the rapidly evolving technological landscape, the need for a scalable, adaptable, and efficient means of interconnectivity between worlds was recognised as essential for sustained growth and development.

The initial concept for the PlaNet was conceived by Dr. Eliana Kitamura, a renowned quantum physicist, who proposed the idea of harnessing Theo Rose's QuantumLink technology to revolutionise digital communication. Working closely with her fellow researchers and experts in network technology, Dr. Kitamura's idea was refined, leading to the establishment of the PlaNet in its modern form.

Over the years, the PlaNet continued to evolve, driven by cutting-edge research and technological breakthroughs. The development of the PTP (PlaNet Transfer Protocol) and the creation of PlaNet PAGEs (Planar Access Grid Engrams) represented significant milestones in the progression of the PlaNet, creating the flexible and scalable network we see today.

The PlaNet's ongoing success can be attributed to its mostly open-source nature and the global involvement of researchers, engineers, and developers from various disciplines. This collaborative effort has ensured an ongoing expansion and refinement of the network, allowing it to maintain its position as the leading framework for interconnectivity amongst a diverse range of devices and systems.

Popular PlaNet services have evolved to cater to the diverse needs of its users, encompassing areas such as entertainment, commerce, education, and communication. Some notable services include:
