A cybernetic phantom is a strange and exotic creature. It exists in the metaverse that connects humans to computers via virtual reality, “cybernetic ghosts” or “hardware-interface ghosts,” named for their technological accouterments, but a better name would be “CyberGhost.” Here’s a short but useful comparison:
Ghosts are dead flesh living inside a digital carcass. They are animated in the real world but fail to take on an existence in the virtual. Humans are flesh and matter in the real world. We do not exist as software.
The cyberghost is simply a living creature inside a digital carcass.
