@ -169,6 +169,12 @@ Any other questions? Feel free to [ask](https://makyo.is)!
Will it contradict anything to assume that a neurodivergent person remains neurodivergent after they upload?
: Oh goodness, no, nothing is changed. Neurodivergences remain. There are changes that one could make but they aren't required (and, as they require quite a bit of forking to do, don't tend to be done by those who are less comfortable forking)
I am curious as to who manages the system that everyone uploads into and how they manage all this.
: The Sino-Russian Bloc started it as a way to one-up the Western Federation, so it was run by them for about ten years, but after the population exploded, they seceded in 2125. After that, it was maintained by a loose organization of private and public companies, depending on the nation, which maintained their own upload clinics and licensed access to the Ansible. The physical infrastructure is part of a station at the Earth-Moon L5 point, which started as a luxury experience and then went private.
Hmm... the servers that The System is running on have a physical location or locations, right? Where is that?
: Prior to 2125, Siberia. After 2125, in orbit around Earth at the Earth-Moon L5 point. https://toledot.post-self.ink/read/4/ for the initial description, let me know if you need more. Oh, er, and post 2325, two smaller systems leaving the solar system at ridiculous speeds in opposite directions. those are additional systems, only accessible in the days leading up to the launch. Both start out identical and then diverge from there. Lagrange (the system that remains) is there as always. But after launch, there's no way into Castor and Pollux.
## The Post-Self Cycle
If you'd like a better sense of the types of stories taking place in this setting, there's like half a million words of canon you can lean on. All four books are available to interested authors as [an epub](https://makyo.wiki/assets/2022-08-23-post-self.epub). I trust you not to share. This also includes *Mitzvot* which isn't out until January 21, 2023, so...congrats on the advance copy, I guess!
