1. A system for virtual navigation of one or both of a real space and a virtual space, comprising:
- a User Member with a user interface with at least one digital communication protocol, in an Active Network comprising computing resources to enable a navigation infrastructure enabled by at least one of internet and cellular networks, connected to a plurality of Source Members each with a Source,wherein said virtual navigation from a first Source Member to a second Source Member enables presentation, to the User Member, of stimuli provided by the Source of the second Source Member and the Active Network that comprises visual stimuli generated by the Source of the second Source Member,wherein stimuli comprising a field of view provided by the Source of the First source member and the Active Network comprises selection points at the location of each Source that corresponds to one of the plurality of source Members that are in the field of view of the Source of the First Source Member at the locations in that field of view of Sources of Source Members, andwherein said navigation to locations of selection points of Sources of one of the plurality of Source Members in the field of view is enabled by the Active Network enabling User Members to navigate among said Sources and enabling the selection by the User Member of the selection point representing the Source of the Second Source Member on the field of view of the Source of the First Source member,wherein said Active Network provides computing resources from at least one computing resource provider, andwherein each Source, in a neighborhood, has a Source Node comprising fields of view, andwherein the Active Network is enabled to interpolate by stitching together the fields of view of said Source Nodes in order to form fixed landscapes, that are used to create Real Maps, for the subsequent navigation of User Members from one local neighborhood to another.

25. A system for virtual navigation, for virtual navigation of a real space, comprising:
-
a User Member with a user interface with at least one digital communication protocol, in an Active Network comprising computing resources to enable a navigation infrastructure enabled by at least one of internet and cellular networks, connected to a plurality of Source Members each with at least one Source, wherein said Sources are enabled to move, wherein said virtual navigation from a First Source of one of said plurality of Source Members to a Second Source of one of said plurality of Source Members enables presentation, to the User Member, of stimuli provided and generated by the Second Source of the one of said plurality of Source Members and the Active Network, wherein the stimuli comprises visual stimuli generated by the second Source of the one of said plurality of Source Members, wherein stimuli comprising a field of view provided by the First Source of the one of said plurality of Source Members and the Active Network comprises selection points generated by said Active Network for Sources, in the field of view of the First Source of the one of said plurality of Source Members, at the locations in that field of view of Sources of the plurality of Source Members, wherein said selection points of locations of said Sources in the field of view of said First Source of the one of said plurality of Source Members follow the motion of their respective Sources in said field of view of said First Source of the one of said plurality of Source Members enabled by the Active Network enabling User Members to navigate among said Sources, and wherein said navigation to the Second Source of the one of said plurality of Source Members is enabled by the selection, from the User Member, of the selection point representing the Second Source of the one of said plurality of Source Members on the field of view of the First Source of the one of said plurality of Source Members, wherein each Source, in a neighborhood, has a Source Node comprising fields of view, and wherein the Active Network is enabled to interpolate by stitching together the fields of view of said Source Nodes in order to form fixed landscapes, that are used to create Real Maps, for the subsequent navigation of User Members from one neighborhood to another. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29)
