1. A method, comprising:

  • modeling, in a computer memory, multiple parallel instances of a multi-dimensional virtual reality space, each of the plurality of parallel instances replicating the multi-dimensional virtual reality space;

    assigning ones of a plurality of modeled multi-dimensional avatars within the computer memory so that each of the plurality of avatars populates a respective one of the parallel instances and each of the plurality of parallel instances is populated by a unique subset of the plurality of avatars, wherein the assigning limits a total number of the plurality of avatars in each of the unique subsets; and

    modeling a common space in the computer memory configured in relation to the plurality of parallel instances so that at least one object located inside the common space is visible from viewpoints located inside each of the plurality of parallel instances.
