## Abstract (arXiv)

The wireless metaverse will create diverse user experiences at the intersection of the physical, digital, and virtual worlds. These experiences will enable novel interactions between the constituents (e.g., extended reality (XR) users and avatars) of the three worlds. However, remarkably, to date, there is no holistic vision that identifies the full set of metaverse worlds, constituents, and experiences, and the implications of their associated interactions on next-generation communication and computing systems. In this paper, we present a holistic vision of a limitless, wireless metaverse that distills the metaverse into an intersection of seven worlds and experiences that include the: i) physical, digital, and virtual worlds, along with the ii) cyber, extended, live, and parallel experiences. We then articulate how these experiences bring forth interactions between diverse metaverse constituents, namely, a) humans and avatars and b) connected intelligence systems and their digital twins (DTs). Then, we explore the wireless, computing, and artificial intelligence (AI) challenges that must be addressed to establish metaverse-ready networks that support these experiences and interactions. We particularly highlight the need for end-to-end synchronization of DTs, and the role of human-level AI and reasoning abilities for cognitive avatars. Moreover, we articulate a sequel of open questions that should ignite the quest for the future metaverse. We conclude with a set of recommendations to deploy the limitless metaverse over future wireless systems.
