= Language and Labelling =

The text makes clear in several places that, barring programmers, wakers have no grasp of a written language and cannot read. However, it then goes on to mention how data access poarts in major systems are "clearly marked" with destination information, and that maps exist. The question is, if DAPs are labelled and wakers have no understanding of (presumably) symbolic langauge, how are they even capable of understanding what said labels mean?

My personal theory is that, while DAPs are not labelled with actual names or descriptions, they are labelled with the IP address of their destination. I think that, while wakers may not be able to rea a written language, they have no problem with numbers, and would be able to read an IP address and think, "Ah; that's the IP address for New York Hub!"

You could even take that one step further and say that Wakers can find their way around Systems with Internal IP Addresses. After all, I'd imagine every building would be given one, just for record keeping and locational purposes.

Plus, it'd give me an excuse to have a Character say "There's No Place like 127.0.0.1". ^_^
