This time may vary depending on proximity to communications stations around the Verse.'' <br>

	I like the idea of transmission stations around the verse, gives the opportunity for backwater out-of-the-way planets or zones where communication is less reliable. So my arm-chair speculative physics.<br>		''Special sub-atomic particles are collided in newtech containment fields. Matched pairs of particles and anti-particles are kept separate in a special stasis fields, but due to occult laws of physics remain in a wave-like state. Destruction or modification of one particle affects its matching anti-particle. These are then separated and placed on adjoining space stations (or planetary communications sites.. a.k.a. Cortex Nodes). Each station has hundreds of these ends in special containment fields, making them nodes of a tremendous web. Communication between the sites is accomplished by "plucking" on the lines between particle and anti-particle, and is effectively instantaneous to transmit data. This information is translated by computers and rebroadcast in normal EM frequencies from the stations. The time delay is greater further from the communication stations, and much lower at an actual station (although still there due to limitations on the speed of 'plucking' the strings.) The expression "sending a wave" comes from the use of these specialized wave forms for communication.''<br>

	The main difference between Cortex V.1 and V.2 is the appearance and user experience. Cortex V.2 is a very friendly interface, similar to old Earth-that-was services like Facebook. Touted as higher security than the old system, ~~V.2~~ makes use of bio-~~metrics~~ signatures (typically hand or eye scans) common in the Core and other urban environments. These also send local data based on ~~spacial~~ location and others, to ensure security. Some critics suggest that this creates unwarranted invasions of privacy. The system ''guarantees'' the authentic location by channeling data to that specific location only. Hackers claim to have already defeated this security measure, but this has not been verified.<br>		The main difference between Cortex V.1 and V.2 is the appearance and user experience.
