this theory might be completely correct cuz all the evidence I've noted from season 3 proves it:

So I think the City of Light is a virtual reality. Reasons:

1- Jaha and other characters have repeatedly said that "there is no pain/death in the City of Light".

2- when Jaha's underling (the tall bald guy who Murphy tried to hit on the head when he was choking Murphy's gf) dies, we see him at the end of the episode alive in the City of Light.

3- the Red Lady is only visible once someone swallows the pill thing like Raven did.

All the above suggests that the CoL is a virtual reality accessed by eating those pills that allow your consciousness to be uploaded (? cant think of a better word) to the CoL. and I guess this kind of isolates your physical aspects, such as pain (as shown with Raven) and death (as shown with dead bald guy), from your consciousness. this also has implications such as immortality (unless it's possible to erase someone's consciousness from the CoL).
