City of Light

Not much is known yet about the City of Light except that it appears to be a non-physical location or a location on another plane of existence.

The "City of Light" is seemingly reached through the subconscious—through A.L.I.E. or meditation—after at least once ingesting a chip bearing an infinity sign (or what Grounders referred to as the sacred symbol).
