The GodMachine is a machine built to contain the whole Multiverse and Knowasphere. Almost all reality is encoded within it, including itself, The_Anti_Void being the place where the code is physically.
It is not entirely known who specifically built the GodMachine. What is known is that they were part of a coalition of convergently evolved species called humanoids. The specific Humanoids that made the GodMachine eventually became the Harolds species.
Nothing in the GodMachine can ever really leave, no more than your pinky finger can run away from your hand. Everything in the GodMachine, including the GodMachine itself, is encoded into the GodMachine.
The people who manage the GodMachine currently are The Council of Emotions, a group of people picked by The Emotional Concepts as representatives from across the Multiverse to fix glitches and make sure the GodMachine doesn't crash.
The GodMachine is roughly the size of a gas giant like Jupiter, and most of it remains completely unexplored.
There are rumors of something guarding the deeper reaches of the GodMachine, maybe the GodMachine has its own white blood cells, maybe a more physical kind of firewall. Some people think, although less likely, The Full Concept of Order has made her home in the GodMachine.
But you don't have to go that deep to make use of the GodMachine. There are places where a humanoid individual can plug into the GodMachine and make a new avatar for themselves, effectively unlimited character creators.
These have gained the nickname apotheosis machines, mostly due to how often people use them to gain utterly ridiculous amounts of power.
