 ===== Utilization =====
+Nodeworks is primarily used as a form of data transfer between star systems. Aside from this, the next major use case is for entertainment. Potentially trillions of 'worlds' created inside the Net serve as community centers for OI and humans alike. Human utilization is free, since it is subsidized through using the user's brain for computing.
 Using the time dilation effect, a certain section of the Net is used to punish and torture prisoners. This closed node specializes in isolating an individual's mind for up to millions of virtual years. Minor offenders can experience rehabilitation within minutes of real-time, while major offenders may be pushed to brain death.

 ==== For Artifical Intellects ====
-Destruction or disconnection from a node while a digital life form is within it is the equivalent to death to a digital lifeform. Backups may be able to restore the individual, but the intellect itself loses all memory past that point and sometimes experience AI mental disorders due to the backup process.
