===Middle ground between the Fantasy Cyberpunk Culture and Real World=== | ===Middle ground between the Fantasy Cyberpunk Culture and Real World=== | ||
Detailed further below in the next section, this theory acknowledges both the real world and a fantasy cyberspace world. Characters are from real-world locations, but can travel to cyberspace. The cyberspace aspect can account for why OS-tans from geographically disparate places can meet each other, and why their societies may be hidden from regular people. Conversely, characters representing a system installed on a single site, such as most early mainframes, have had little to no contact with systems outside their area because they never went to cyberspace to meet others. | |||

The SAGE-tan chronicles, authored by Stewartsage, is perhaps the story that codified the "real world" theory as we know it today. In it, the setting of the OS-tans is plainly a variant of our own universe - in fact, the only major difference between this OS-tan continuity and the real world appears to be the presence of the OS-tans themselves (and subsequently forms of high-technology and/or magic). The story is set upon a geographically-correct world, with -tans explicitly hailing from real settings and belonging to factual organizations. In many ways it is the antipode of the Annex Project universe: with -tans portrayed as almost human, hardware-tans included, prominent OS- and hardware-kuns, characters being more-or-less true to their real-world time periods and earlier characters not particularly antiquated compared to contemporary ones. Unique to this continuity is the inclusion of very early computer-tans. | The SAGE-tan chronicles, authored by Stewartsage, is perhaps the story that codified the "real world" theory as we know it today.
