In the end don't we run the risk of making this a discussion on semantics rather than the nature of spirituality / physicality?
Duality would work as a term because of that perceived separation. The Internet and Mass Consciousness are perceived as separate, in reality they are aspects of the same thing.
Perhaps I could have titled the article; "Technology Manifests Spiritual concepts into the Physical World". After all that is the gist of what I was getting at. I agree with all you have said about the term "mirroring"...but it largely depends upon your definition of certain words. And terminology falls into semantics, and ultimately becomes disassociated from the original subject.
Or not...
What do you think (of both subjects; the distraction of semantics - and the idea of technology manifesting spiritual reality into physical objects)?
