What does the Dual Universe name mean?

[Snowfox 2]

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?

See https://board.dualthegame.com/index.php?/topic/10110-kickstarter-ama-event-second-part/ for reference:

 

 

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)

Thanks for sharing, I seem to have forgotten about it

It's like second life, but they can't call it that for obvious reasons. Most notably the image that would entail.
