A hypoverse is a -verse that exists in basement reality but is on a smaller scale than the hyperverse itself. Life in the hyperverse originated from within hypoverses and transcended upwards.
Naturally occuring hypoverses behave, both internally and interacting with other hypoverses, by rules based on their geometry. With advanced technology, hypoverses can be made programmable, including being able to replicate other hypoverses and hypoverse cohorts. The Illuminati use special arrangements of hypoverses called hypocomputers to run xenoverses, which is where most sub-hyperversal activity occurs presently.
