I've looked everywhere and still cannot figure out where the Dual Universe name comes from. 

 

Here is a definition for the word "dual"

 

consisting of two parts, elements, or aspects.

 

So what's dual about DU?

The name of the game is refering the well known concept of duality in mathematics: two entities are "dual" when they have a different form, but share the same functional structure. You can "map" one to the other. We like to think that DU could be the "dual" of the real world one day: another form, but the same core dynamics! Check this: https://en.wikipedia...y_(mathematics)
