The Matrix refers to an interconnected web of quantum computing devices. The Matrix is sometimes referred to as "Web4.0". Tenma Communications is often credited as the inventor of the Matrix.
Quantum Computing
Quantum computing is the default method of computing post-2025. Quantum computers rely on two essential components: qeppers and wafers. Qeppers (QEP, Quantum Electronic Processors) generate wave functions from the spin values of silicon atoms. Wafers (WFR, Wave Function Readers) are able to derive float values from the position of electrons orbiting the qepper. Once the float value of a wave function is collapsed, it can be used in standard computing. For this reason, the number of computations possible in a quantum device is limited to the number of silicon atoms present in the qepper. The functions not collapsed at any given moment cause quantum echoes, which are the source of technomancy.
