Homeostasis is a digital lifeform, and one of the host computers who rules over the Digital World on a Server of the Network.
Design
Homeostasis has not been seen with a physical form. It inhabits the bodies of others to communicate, such as with Kari Kamiya and Maki Himekawa. While Kari resists Homeostasis internally, Homeostasis takes on Kari's form.

Years later, in 2005, Homeostasis possesses Kari again to speak with the Digimon about the Human World, the Digital World, and the Reboot. Confession
During the battle to stop both Raguelmon and Jesmon, Homeostasis possessed Kari once more and demanded the Digidestined to not interfere during the battle or they will be destroyed as she was the one that sent Jesmon to destroy Raguelmon in the first place. She then explains her actions are justified to maintain harmony and balance no matter the sacrificial costs. Hearing this, Kari starts to fight for control of her body from within, telling off Homeostasis and their actions as overall selfish. Unable to maintain possession of Kari's body, Homeostasis departs telling the DigiDestined to lay aside their views of friendship which conflicts with the bigger agenda. Coexistence

Digimon Xros Wars (manga)
In the past, Yggdrasil had gone berserk and attempted to destroy the Human World in an attempt to protect the Digital World. Homeostasis was created to replace it as the host computer and God of the Digital World, and was intended to prioritize maintaining harmony across the two worlds.[citation needed]
Much later, Bagramon questioned Homeostasis about the world's justice, and eventually fell from grace entirely. Homeostasis scourged the rebellious angel's body and cast it out of the Kernel.
At some point, Homeostasis made a prophecy regarding the "red and black dragon" who would destroy the Digital World, based on its conclusions from carefully observing the Digital World. This prophecy was pursued by the Royal Knights, who originally thought the dragon was a member of the Seven Great Demon Lords, but it was eventually revealed to be ZeedMillenniummon, created from AxeKnightmon and Millenniummon through Bagramon's machinations.
