Thought Elevator

Thought Elevator is a term used by those affiliated with Code-R to designate structures linked with the Geass ability. Bartley Aspirus speculates that some of the Emperor's recent invasions were done to gain control of the devices.

In appearance they are shown as an enormous vertical gateway from which bright light streams. Only two have been shown so far, on Kamine Island and another in the Geass Directorate's city. It is hinted that they were constructed by some long-forgotten ancient civilization.

Function
The true functionality of the thought elevator remains unknown, however it is known that it works through a person's memories or thoughts as explained by Lelouch after discovering how they work, such as Lelouch escaping C.C.'s memory zone by the thoughts of wanting to help her.

They also serve as an entrance to the Sword of Akasha on several occasions.
