The shimmering water-like surface that fills the Gate once the wormhole is formed. Stepping through means being broken down, then rebuilt on the other side.
Overview
Travel goes one way only: from the dialling Gate to the receiving one. You cannot come back through the same wormhole.
Worth knowing
If something blocks the exit, like the SGC's iris, the traveller does not rematerialize. That is the whole point of the IDC code.
