The genesis of the '''world of Glitch''' is described in the official Glitch Alpha trailer [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6O5QXj6n18]:

<blockquote style="font-style:italic">For a really long time 
11 [[giant]]s walked around. 
They thought of funny things 
until their thinking came alive. 
And that's what this game is 
you're inside their thoughts. 
Go and make them bigger 
and we'll play a long while. 
And we call the giants by their names: 
There's [[Humbaba]] and [[Friendly]], [[Alph]], [[Ti]], [[Zille]] and [[Lem]] 
[[Grendaline]] and [[Spriggan]] 
[[Cosma]], [[Pot]] and [[Mab|Maaaaaaaab]]... 

And that's what this game is 
you're inside their thoughts 
go and make them bigger 
and we'll play a long while.''</blockquote>

==Ur==
The game world is often referred to in-game as '''Ur'''. For example, street addresses are given in a format like "3229 [[Estevan Meadows]] Quarter, [[Groddle Meadow]], Ur." Ur was the name of an ancient Sumerian city mentioned several times in the Bible. It's also used a generic term for the origin point, as in "Ur-source".

==Mote==
In a Glitch forum discussion on the world of Glitch [http://alpha.glitch.com/forum/general/1878/], [[Stewart Butterfield]] wrote "In our terminology, Ur is a "mote" — more like a planet than anything. But the mote -> hub -> street distinction is a from a very old (18 months+) way of thinking about how we were going to create the world and probably doesn't apply any more. (It was about whole worlds on specks of dust, swirling around each other in the gentle convection of a ray of sunlight … and that was 9 backstory-versions ago ;)"
