In the [[Bright Way]], the noosphere isn't a tangible entity so much as a way of looking at sophonts and their collective effect on the world and each other. The noosphere is to sapient life as the biosphere is to nonsapient life. It consists of all rational minds on a planet as well as their interactions. The [[Farspeaker]]s consider telecommunication infrastructure such as the interplanetary ansible network and various planetary internetworks to be the "body" of the noosphere. In the same way a brain and nervous system are physical components that uphold a sophont's consciousness, these networks uphold the activity of the noosphere. Importantly, the noosphere depends on consciousness and not the other way around.
