One of the epistemological debates on the nature of technology is its actual and potential functions as envisioned by its formal and efficient causes. The review of the related literature demonstrates that technology has traditionally been phenomenalized, in the sense that it is neither a tool nor an application. It is rather a genesis, in the sense that it creates a unity of a noumenon by human being’s sensory-behavioral structures. Through genesis, this phenomenon determines our situation under the zero-infinity binary. Against this backdrop, the present study scrutinizes the function of communicative technologies and the virtual space against the backdrop of indeterminacy and indecision. It touches upon the linguistic nature of this phenomenon and its relation to human existence. The question to be discussed is: how can cyber ethics be talked about under the process that the zero-one binary is regenerated endlessly and infinitely despite human’s static situation? The central question is: How can the problem of indeterminacy and indecision in the cyberspace lead to a crisis in the real world? It is argued that the indecision in the cyberspace originates from the fact that we are witnessing a syntactic shift in the verification principle. With this epistemological shift in contextualizing the cyberspace, this paper makes an attempt to discuss the possible shifts in the cyber space policy.
