Okay, I think another goal for "Real space opera" should be choreographed spaceflight and 3d battles at realistic or fantastic scale. Like, if you are living on a planet with computers, that means simulating the voyages and documenting each planet in at least passing geographic detail. - ThreadSky

This includes fight scenes. Exactly how hard or soft sci-fi you want to be here is up to you, but you need to simulate the movements of each entity in 3d space.

Proper post literary space opera is a genre that earth culture isn't sophisticated enough to produce, but will if allowed to flourish.

I can only surmise it's existence by observing trends in Asian literature over centuries, and projecting a similar course over Sci-Fi.

A real space opera is like, 99% meta text.

A meta text with a plot and some music attached.

Sci-fi literature as written by sci-fi people describing their sci-fi world. As opposed to Sci fi literature as written by us imagining a better world.

Also, by this point, many operas (space or otherwise) will be interactive, like a visual novel but more advanced. They will be "Written" in a high level programing language which is then translated into various languages.

Stage directions and meta text. The meta text itself including entire novels worth of dialogue and narrative.
