Syblespace
------------------------
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sybelspace or Seibelspace – from the Greek (sybelmetes meaning steersman, governor, pilot, or rudder) is the Northwest Ontario domain of Carl Seibel accessed through Seibel.Carl@ic.gc.ca and exploited through unflagging commitment and energy to achieve a wide range of life enhancing communications infrastructure fired by very big dishes. The term Seibelspace is rooted in the science of Seibelnetics founded by Seibel and based on Beatonism, a pioneering principle of believing in the unbelievable. Through its magnetic nature, Seibelspace integrates a number of capabilities (connections, signals, transmission, processors and contribution agreements) and generates a virtual interactive experience accessed for the purpose of giving people the tools they need to do what they need to do – only better – regardless of their geographic location. In pragmatic terms Seibelspace has made possible an interdependent network of information technology infrastructures such as Internet, computer systems, integrated sensors and in a few cases POTs. As a social experience, individuals use Seibelspace to interact, exchange ideas, share information, provide social support, conduct business, view ears noses and throats, create artistic media, engage in political discussions and in general do what they have to do. Seibelspace has now become a conventional term to describe anything associated with any space it is good to be in. It has become synonymous in Northwestern Ontario for a “goodspace” or a “great space”. The founder departs his job soon but it is understood that the space itself remains and grows and continues to contribute to the lives of many, many people and you will always find the founder in it whether he is there in person or just in spirit.
