Matrix

   [FidoNet]

   1. What the Opus BBS software and sysops call {FidoNet}.

   2.  Fanciful  term for a {cyberspace} expected to emerge from current
   networking  experiments  (see  {the network}). The name of the rather
   good  1999  {cypherpunk} movie The Matrix played on this sense, which
   however had been established for years before.

   3. The totality of present-day computer networks (popularized in this
   sense by John Quarterman; rare outside academic literature).
