All the worlds we live in are formed and shaped by what we commonly call data. First, what is the true definition of data? Data is the basic foundation for creating information, formed from an infinite collection of bits. The entire Phantasmonium is the largest unit of that data—something like a server, and our world is a simulation running within that server.
Everything—wind, water, fire, gravity, time, space, velocity, electricity—is the result of the accumulation of those bits. However, due to an error within Phantasmonium, the data that composed it fell into the lower world/the simulation/our world. Because of that, we are able to utilize many things from it, including our names that shape our identities. Do you know the Law of Identity? That too is the result of data computation.
Then, all humans (including characters in the story) are able to use these bits of data for various purposes, such as changing their name, age, or even their entire identity. For example:
"My name is Ivan. I change it to Navi. Now, everyone will and must call me Navi because my name is Navi."
This isn’t just about changing a name. Instead, it’s about a complete transformation of identity, including social, personal, and even existential aspects. In this case, not only will Ivan’s name change to Navi, but the entire identity of Ivan will also shift to become Navi. Two things could happen as a result:
1. Ivan’s identity is completely erased, including all things related to him—his past, relationships, memories, and experiences tied to that name. Ivan as a person ceases to exist in the context of his previous identity.
2. Alternatively, Ivan may remain as a past version of himself, but he is no longer bound by the laws of identity. Since his identity has transformed into Navi, Ivan is now free from the constraints that once governed him, as his past identity holds no more power over him.
“And because of that, everything about him— and I— am nothing more than empty data.”
“Empty data?” Adam asked.
“Empty data is a structure of raw information that hasn’t yet been assigned value.”
“Oh… then is our world also just empty data?”
“Of course not, you fool. If that were true, we wouldn’t just be nothing—we’d be the absence of nothingness.”

and also can this be Nep type 2?
