[Through some special technology, human consciousness can be converted into data. This can be a high-tech method or an accident encountered by hackers during deep surfing. In any case, these digitized consciousnesses, when in contact with and merging with a vast data base, have a chance of giving birth to a new "data soul."]
As Sora explained...
The boy on the right side of the screen shattered into data, absorbed by the data river on the left like pollutants.
The data flow began to clog and become erratic, constantly reorganizing in self-contradiction, and finally achieving a dynamic balance.
It no longer looked like a river but a constantly rotating three-dimensional geometry, which became infinitely more complex.
Those originally orderly modes of operation did not disappear; rather, they continued to exist within this special amalgam.
This combined data was magnified in front of John.
