The Rabbit Portal (TRP)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seoul#Technology

TRP is partially an Urban Technology Portal and a general digital intersection between science + fiction. Thus, The-Rabbit-Portal is a multipoint referencing blog of news and entertainment, popular culture and mythology. An intersection between urban legends + urban planning issues. A.I. , AR, VR + SimCity linking into various dimensions and portals. TRP is either a branch of, or a counterpart to thedigitallabyrinth.blogspot.com (TDL). 

The-Digital-Labyrinth is more general in referencing things, thus its a wider scope of a blog. TRP is supposed to occasionally get behind the scenes of various aspects of technology and reality, but that sometimes happens at TDL as well.

 

The observation of technology through symbolism and metaphysics, etc. https://matrix.fandom.com/wiki/Monsters 
Occasionally covering a multitude of ideas and topics in general as well.
It's all about going further down the Rabbit Hole to explore The Nature Of Reality. (TNOR)



THX_1138 is the quintessential totalitarian subterranean system. 

Structurae.net is a great site to explore urban-planning and various structures in general.

The Many-worlds_interpretation is a key aspect of this blog.  




In the Oracle’s waiting room, the television is showing white rabbits (which, at the beginning of the film, Neo was instructed to follow) from Night of the Lepus (1972).

The Shore_Leave_Episode is very interesting with astounding implications about reality manipulation. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0708446

The Lost_TV_series took people down a rabbit hole of various portals & dimensions that eventually left some people bewildered. https://fusionanomaly.net/lost.html ,

Any Sci-Fi entertainment production doesn't necessarily have to make sense. As long as it's interesting & thought provoking, that's usually enough. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Once_Upon_a_Planet_(episode)


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_history#Quantum_theory_of_many_worlds

TRP is also about referencing various forms of tech, data & mass media & personal expressions through mega-information_technology systems.

Although the MATRIX  wasn't released until March of 1999, Bono was clearly channeling his inner Neo in the early 1990s.

Although Wikipedia is heavily referenced here, it is usually just for a general reference level of information. Obviously, there are more in depth sites around covering specific subjects & topics in greater detail.

How is technology changing our way to experience cities?

 https://parametric-architecture.com/walking-internet-and-the-cyberflaneur-how-is-technology-changing-our-way-to-experience-cities

Urban technology can be a great thing, as long as it doesn't become used to facilitate a totalitarian nightmare. Thus, human visualization must be never replace by total AI. Unless one wants to have a Borg like world.

Urban Tech Portal

UTP still isn't just about urban technology. One can be in a typical cabin or van in the woods and have  powerful laptops with plenty of solar power for all the gadgets.

The Data Tower

Here are a few examples of data towers or telecommunications buildings.

375_Pearl_Street is quite an example of fitting a lot of data support systems in one concentrated location since 1975.
http://www.informationweek.com/government/information-management/new-yorks-32-story-data-fortress-inside/240151545
Of course in effect, any such building becomes a node within the Internet.

33 Thomas is even more of a modern fortress high rise, albeit from 1974.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/33_Thomas_Street#History

The 1927 Verizon_Building is a strong old bulky telecommunications complex.
Although its a tough old building, it has sustained a couple of strong impacts.

In the 1920s & 1930s it was amazing enough just to have a big telephone building in the city.

Several decades later, telecommunications & marketing networks & other systems have become immense.

At this point, big data is only limited by the level of technology being used.

TTP

TTP is still generally about referencing technology and some urban issues.

Holes, Time Travel & Portals (HTTP)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dharma_Initiative
https://upload.wikimedia.org/The_Map , 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dharma_Initiative#Station_?:_The_Looking_Glass


TTP is a Digital Portal into exploring the urban human interaction with reality & data & metaphoric holes into other dimensions throughout time & space, along with Symbolism, Coincidence & Synchronicity. Exploring reality & popular culture through technology, science & fiction, providing several examples & imagined scenarios. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fringe_(TV_series) , http://books.google.ca/books/about/Spacetime_and_Geometry.html?id=1SKFQgAACAAJ

This blog involves referencing several websites to gain insight into various facts, opinions & perspectives. Of course clicking onto these links, will take you to the author or proprietor for further reference & acknowledgement. That saves me from doing a lot of extra typing of what others have already stated. http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/04/ff_lost
-
Example 1: The Rabbit Hole Effect
I like to directly refer to a particular website such as, whatthebleep.com or indirectly through something like wikipedia.org . Wikipedia is great for general information because it provides plenty of links & other points of reference. However, while Wikipedia is quite a popular general research tool, there are several other websites that provide more in depth data on various subjects.
-
Example 2
Sometimes in stead of just quoting parts of websites, I'd rather provide a direct link to a specific web page of a website like, www.whatthebleep.com/rabbithole. Sometimes referring to specific internal_links of websites like, whatthebleep.com/scientists, will in turn provide a variety of links to other websites. What the Bleep Do We Know...Book_adaptation_and_sequel_film
-
Example 3
Usually a hyperlink or full URL will be sufficient to the site being referenced. Once there you can find more data on the author or proprietor of the site. This hyperlinking in effect attributes direct acknowledgement & credit to them. In this case, Lostie Liberian @ Flickr. http://www.flickr.com/photos/76965273@N00/2442162960
Its always up to the seeker to determine how far into the portal they wish to go. http://www.flickr.com/photos/76965273@N00/2425101197 & http://synchromysticism.blogspot.com
-
Example 4
In this case, through Wikipedia you can see acknowledgement of the authors & proprietors of a very popular TV_series. A lot of times I will list a bunch of URLs for further reference. http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page, http://lost.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page, http://darkufo.blogspot.com/2010/10/peace-love-and-world-domination-dharma.html
-
This data blog project interconnects & overlaps with so many URLs, but the main objective is to still remain within the context of Fair Use with Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol.
This blog spans the gap between science & fiction.
-
Time Travel of LOST, etc.
LOST - The Synchronizing

LOST & The Spiral Portal Over Norway

The Twilight Zone Vortex Light Cone

LOST like The Twilight Zone provides a great range of metaphoric TV online entertainment. They are just some of the many shows that help to stir the imagination.
