2/ The key difference in meatspace real estate and digital spaces has been scarcity in physical space (xyz dimensions)
Time cost of travel and colocation synergies drive real estate value
Digital estates have prev had no scarcity, so no value all speculation

3/ But real estate contains much more data than occupancy of 3d space
The same city block may be used by some to gain access to music, for others unique architecture
Dimensions largely invisible, layered on top of each other

4/ Real estate accrues value because all the realities share the same base layer dimensions (xyz) where cost of travel incentivises colocation

5/ Now, imagine a tiered base layer for digital spaces - where new users start at (0,0,0), it costs time to move to adjacent coordinates, and each coordinate can be a portal to other digital spaces

6/ Assuming the base layer can acquire many users, this incentivizes digital space developers to acquire and maintain coordinates close to the origin, similar to how flagship stores of major brands flock to Times Square

7/ This approach essentially allows devs the ability to create new dimensions while sharing a base layer for user acquisition and property rights
The metaverse becomes a giant relational database with (x,y,z) as the main indices

8/ Of course, is still just a scavenger hunt, and unclear if the devs share my viewpoint
Maybe just a scavenger hunt
