 Briefly investigated, Zero was a failed universe which at some point in its lifespan was destroyed cataclysmically. The nature of this destruction is thought to be artificial and some information from the neverwhere leaks into the herewhere through weak spots in spacetime. Briefly investigated, Zero was a failed universe which at some point in its lifespan was destroyed cataclysmically.

 +It is known that most forms of hyperspace involve dipping into Neverwhere partially, as it presents less friction and allows for faster than light travel by in theory, not actually moving faster than light, just moving the space around a craft faster than light.
 +
 +The Neverwhere is known to have very strange interactions with frequencies of electromagnetism interactive with brainwaves, similar to psionics. In addition, the rules of cause and effect are known to loosen substantially with longer visits. Those who have been stranded in the Neverwhere seriously recommend against extended visits.

 +Those who do so intentionally are known as 'divers'.
 ==== Navigation ==== ==== Navigation ====
 Objects have been known to move from either universe, though they incur an **information hazard**: that some objects - a kind of trans-universe petrification where equipment may stop existing, information may disappear from the memory of people and 'nearest equivalents' may be selected to fit into the universe in a process called **transplantation**. Objects have been known to move from either universe, though they incur an **information hazard**: that some objects - a kind of trans-universe petrification where equipment may stop existing, information may disappear from the memory of people and 'nearest equivalents' may be selected to fit into the universe in a process called **transplantation**.

-Not to be confused with information as data, information states variables or patterns within a given universe - for example the energy state of a particle or the arrangement of matter. In this senseall energy and matter is in some way a pattern and that pattern is referred to as information.+Not to be confused with information as data, information states variables or patterns within a given universe -the factstruths, names, peoples, events and places of history itself. This is all a pattern, referred to as information. 
 + 
 +When crossing from some universes to other universes, knowledge of some information doesn't survive the trip and is no longer known by characters. This is referred to as **expunged information**. In many cases, those who travel have no idea they have actually left somewhere, or have made preparations to part, or that they have arrived.
