hyperspace
/hi:'per-spays/ A memory location that is ▫far▫ away from
where the {program counter} should be pointing, often
inaccessible because it is not even mapped in. (Compare {jump
off into never-never land}.)
This usage is from the SF notion of a spaceship jumping "into
hyperspace", that is, taking a shortcut through
higher-dimensional space - in other words, bypassing this
universe. The variant "east hyperspace" is recorded among
{CMU} and {Bliss} hackers.
