The '''nowhere''', also called the '''negative realm''', is an inter-dimensional reality that can be accessed and utilized by people with [[cytonics|cytonic]] abilities.{{book ref|sky2|10}} It's also the home of the [[delver]]s, and the primary medium for faster-than-light travel and communication.{{book ref|sky2|18}}{{book ref|sky2|20}}

== Access and Exploitation ==
The nowhere can be accessed by any [[cytonics|cytonic]] by focusing and meditating. Getting close to or inside the nowhere is crucial to most, if not all of their abilities.{{book ref|sky2|9}} Chief among them is FTL travel, which requires the cytonic to enter and exit the nowhere completely. They can do so by themselves, but they can also take with them passengers and objects.{{book ref|sky2|42}} The latter seems to require mechanical aid in the form of a '''cytonic hyperdrive'''.{{book ref|sky2|53}}
Machines can likewise utilize the nowhere. The timeless nature of it allows for signals to be sent through it at faster-than-light speed, which artificial intelligences such as [[M-Bot]] use to facilitate the high-speed processing necessary for them to function.{{book ref|sky2|18}} Regular machines also use this to communicate across star systems, both to send messages between people on various worlds, and to control drones from a safe distance without the light-speed lag.{{book ref|sky2|14}}
