1. A system configured to provide a virtual space that is accessible to a user, wherein a virtual space is a simulated physical space that has a topography, expresses real-time interaction by the user, and includes one or more objects positioned within the topography that are capable of experiencing locomotion within the topography, the system comprising:

  • a storage module that stores information related to a plurality of virtual spaces, wherein the information stored in the storage module that is related to a given virtual space comprises;

    topographical information related to the topography of the given virtual space, andmanifestation information related to manifestation of the one or more objects positioned within the topography and/or unseen forces experienced by the one or more objects in the virtual space;

    a server in operative communication with the database that receives the information stored in the database related to the given virtual space and instantiates the virtual space according to the received information; and

    a client in operative communication with the server;

    wherein the server implements the instantiation of the virtual space to determine a view of the virtual space,wherein the client receives view information that describes the view from the server, andwherein the client formats the view of the virtual space for viewing by the user by assembling the view information.
