Summary/Abstract: Occurrence of program engineering marked a new epoch in the constitution of human existence. Within its framework human activity was extended to another dimension. This virtual dimension, in the context of computing in a broad sense, is understood as the limited field of activity and interaction via reality transformed into physical absence. Besides the need for strict definitions regarding notions virtual and media, understood not solely as intercessor in information exchange in the human-to-human interaction, but as a intercessor in relation human–being, it is of particular philosophical importance to enter the comprehension of this transformation as the translation of those conditions of possible occurrence of being through human mind, and forms of thought which define it.
