That's theoretical meta-canon: because Lain continues to exist after erasing herself from everyone's memories even after explicitly saying that her existence is composed only of other people's memories, it's thought that the memories of people in the real world (like you and me) are what keep her existing after the "ALL RESET" event in Layer:13.
This theory could be supported by Lain making eye contact with the fourth wall on multiple occasions in the show (this isn't done for no reason, the shots of her looking at the "camera" are long enough to break immersion and are often close-ups). Lain also outright breaks the fourth wall in Layer:13, where she speaks directly to the viewer for a whole 48 seconds.
I don't know how much I agree with this theory. For one, Arisu's (and possibly Yasuo's) memory of Lain is not erased, which would be enough to keep her existing, eliminating the need for a trans-4th-wall egregorical connection from us to her.
The bottom line is, if you can't use the most basic critical thinking and don't immediately forget all information presented in the anime after the episode ends, and just navigate your way in Internet communities by piggybacking on fandom culture instead of actual Knowledge and Thought, then if Lain is real, she probably thinks you're a fucking idiot!

not the same one you were talking to, but he introduced himself by going on an autism lesson about nuclear physics, he really knew what he was talking about and was eager to share it, even if it was a bit above us
he had very autistic fetishes, and he enjoyed them in very specific ways stuff like "vore BUT im not allowed to die from it thats gross", or inventing a detailed psionic melding classification system just for his fetish, "im the BO of /bowl/ but I only like certain kinds of fat characters and hate the rest"
very quick to call people niggers
enjoyed some bad video games
knew a lot about theoretical spaces, like the ones outside the scope of euclid
firmly did not believe in anything superstitious yet still wanted to be with lain and would talk about her communicating or not communicating with him, when shown the contradiction he would say something along the lines of "yea I know its all in my head"
it feels futile to try to sum up a person in a post

stickyanon sounds like the quiet kid in elementary school that would draw stick-figures of himself committing mass decapitations.

I want to learn more about Lain and her story. There is a lot more than what is handed to us.
What is Lain?
>A computer program?
>A human being?
Where did Lain come from?
>Born to Miho and Yasuo?
>Created by scientists in a computer?
>Created by scientists in a cloning vat?
I want to know if Lain is a real human like the rest of the characters or if she is just a growing memory. Was she always just data on the Wired?
I love Lain too, guys. I want to know.

>>2513 So this guy is really dead? Man he was a new breed of out of your mind. He'd talk to us all normal and then at any time out of nowhere he casually starts talking about incredibly absurd and disgusting sexual perversions, saying nothing but boot slice, some stuff I didn't understand about 7-inch squares inside of 3-inch circles, all sorts of wacky stuff, and then he would just talk about normal things again. I knew that he liked anime and the girl "Lain" but I didn't know it was this bad. He was really into explaining for us about air vehicles that used future technology, your right about the nuclear physics, but he also talked a lot about psionic like you said. He made a missile that flew for half a year without landing that made everyone it flew over crazy, it was supposed to have a nuclear reactor that acted like infinite jet fuel and a "psi generator." It was something like 2 magnetic disks sandwiched around a piezoelectric crystal doped with cobalt attached to a vibrating motor and that was meat to make a psychic wave that drove people insane. He also said the world would end on September 28 in 2001 because of a "probability error" that would make "everything that can't be, be" after the "cycle of Light, Life, Order, Wealth, Sin, Darkness, Suffering, Chaos, and Inferno" collapsed or something similar. Whenever any of us told him how crazy he was he wouldn't say anything, except for one time: super sanity and insanity always looked the same but he wouldn't elaborate. Those are the things that stuck with me, there was a lot more and I can't access any of it. Same with that video, there were more videos and I only have a few. I really wonder how much we lost. What a freak.
