How things are, as I see it

Cyberia Computer Club was created as a social group.
- A legal entity was created to handle finances and to formalize a structure in order to mitigate the issues that can come up in large groups.
- Services were built to support Cyberia.
  - The primary service, Capsul, was successful enough that it was effectively 'spun off' as a separate entity.
    - Capsul continues to donate hosting services to Cyberia to this day.
Layer Zero was built as a space for Cyberians in the Twin Cities area to be able to gather and do things in person.
- Layer Zero has found success even among those that are more interested in the physical space of LZ than the digital space of Cyberia.
Cyberia and Layer Zero both exist as only vaguely separate entities.
- Any distinction between them may have made more sense at one point, but is presently confusing.

Cyberia is the global social community.
- It is governed by the Cyberia Congress.
- Day-to-day operations are handled by volunteers. (It is a do-ocracy.)
- Cyberia's digital existence flows directly from the willingness of Forest and j3s to maintain it.
Layer Zero is the physical space for Cyberians in the Twin Cities.
- All members of Layer Zero are Cyberians.
- LZ is governed by those who regularly show up.
- Day-to-day operations are handled by volunteers. (It is a do-ocracy.)
- Layer Zero, due to it's nature, requires money to maintain it.
  - It's existence, at present, flows directly from the willingness of Forest to pay for it.

The community and structure of Cyberia to continue to exist and to be put to use.
The physical space of Layer Zero to continue to exist and be put to use.
Cyberia Computer Club as the legal entity, which pays for Layer Zero from donations it receives.
Layer Zero to be managed by what would currently be called a "branch" in Cyberia's structure.
