Numenera Liminal Shore: - Rules of Play says:
Over a billion years into our Earth’s future, great civilizations have risen and fallen, each attaining wonders beyond our wildest dreams and furthest imaginings. The remnants of these civilizations shaped the Ninth World into a beautiful but weird place of both wonder and danger. You have explored ruins of the ancient past and found the magic there called the numenera. You have wandered the Steadfast and the Beyond, to discover cities and peoples you never knew existed. You have dived the ocean deeps and found that there, too, lie wonders of the past. You perhaps have even followed in the footsteps of the prior worlds and voyaged to the stars, or beyond, to other universes. But the Ninth World still has more unexplored spaces. One of them surrounds the entirety of this future Earth. It’s a network of ancient information, sustained by machines circling the world far overhead. And it’s much more than that: it is knowledge and secrets, but it’s also a sort of place. A conceptual space. The datasphere. The people of the Ninth World rarely receive but glimmers of the datasphere. But recently access points, called vertices, have been discovered. Those who find them can explore this metaphysical space and plumb the depths of its mysteries. They can learn of discoveries in the real world—whole new lands to explore. And even unlock mysteries of the prior worlds—grand actions of aeons ago, affecting the Earth, the Sun, and the other planets. Actions that have an impact—perhaps a massive impact—on the Ninth World today.
