the real question one must ask.... is not where is anoikis but when is anoikis. wormholes dont just go through distances in space they also go through points in time.anoikis mirrors our cluster so closely,there is a DRASTIC difference in the age of sleepers and their installations in the various classes of wh's. in example c1's give almost all wrecked components and the sleepers there info reads that they are very very old. when a c6 has brand new sleepers,intact components, much better setup installations. factor that in with the sleepers tech is way beyond our own and the picture of a alternate reality/different timeline becomes very reasonable


I like this.

With that in mind, read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anoikis

Perhaps something is to be implied by the name?

EDIT: according to this etymology

"The word Anoikis was coined by Frisch and Francis in a paper published in the Journal of Cell Biology in 1994. Anoikis, in their words, means "(...the state of being without a home) to describe the cells' apoptotic response to the absence of cell–matrix interactions." The word apparently is a Neolatin construction consisting of three Greek morphemes agglutinated together: ἀν- "without", οἰκ- "house", and -ις (extracted from -σις "trait, attribute"; confer apo-pto-sis "state of being fallen off")."

Anoikis in many ways describes the state of the sleepers, but could it also describe the state of the place too? A part of New Eden that has somehow been detached from the rest of the cluster? Perhaps through distance in space or perhaps through inter-dimensional phenomena of some kind? Who's to say these wormholes lead to the same timeline or even the same dimension. After all, physics work differently inside of many of them. I've watched enough science fiction to know that dimensional fragmentation is common in space. I mean we don't typically see it in Eve, but that doesn't mean the concept has been somehow excluded from the realm of possibility.

In any case I don't even know where New Eden is. I thought it was on it's own somewhere but according to Kamora it's in The Milky Way? I'm confused, this can't be the case, wouldn't we be able to see the galactic center from anywhere in New Eden if that were the case?
