Reality Hackers (also known as: 'Reality Coders' or 'Reality Crackers') is a subgroup of Virtual Adepts, computer-oriented magicians in Mage: the Ascension roleplaying game.
The Reality Hackers are a faction of the Virtual Adepts that focuses its efforts on the transformation of our current reality. They are one of the principal contributors to the project of Reality 2.0.
Metaphors.
My friend once destribed Virtual Adepts as magicians who use computers to 'code programs for stealing apples'.
... is it about stealing fruit(s) from paradise-garden's tree, or is it about hacking macintosh computers to steal control over them?
... or both?
Stealing apples is against God's will - as any stealing is.
Many think that changing Reality is defying God's will as well.
... ;)
Buddhists often say that 'Space is Information''.
One can perceive that every atom, electron, ... , or lack of such at a given coordinates is information.
By changing this information, one can change state of Space at given coords.
Space is at least part of Reality, by changing Space one changes Reality as well.
In theory - if computer is connected to Space - programs written on such computer can transform that information, can transform Space.
...
However, Virtual Adepts usually do not use coords in spellcasting, they use symbols related with objects transformed by their code. It's use of Correspondence, one of ideas in Mage: thue Ascension.
Virtual Adepts can change not only quantum objects (either individual quantum object or quantum objects in larger group(s)) with their Magick. Examples are: Manipulating Thoughts in Mind, Aligning perceptions to see Spirit World, etc. These uses can be perceived as high-abstraction-level instructions.
Can everything be reduced to mind perceiving objects in space - trying to see itself? Buddhist Wisdom tries to explore these ideas since time that has no beginning nor end.
... coords can be perceived as a symbol as well.
How to connect Computer to Space?
Computers can be connected with Space by - for example - symbols on Virtual Adept's computer's desktop screen.
Symbols can be images, or whatever representing ideas that connect computer to the Space.
