Cyber Ghosts

﹄—﹃A network novel worth collecting

It is said that the three realms of life are: see yourself, see the world, see all beings.

If this is the case, the entire book "Liao Zhai" tells the first realm: see yourself, in other words, Liao Zhai tells the story of the concept of "me".

It's just different from the traditional way I talk about me. This book uses a set of worldview frameworks, in a way similar to "watching movies", depicting different concepts of "me" for readers, and even some Explore.

So in all the postscripts, Mu Yu believes that the first thing to sort out for the reader is the world view of the book, which may make it easier to understand some of the context in the book.

In the world view of this book, Mu Yu summarizes it as the principle of three two one one:

Three: Three sets of "macro-micro" world comparisons-including the macro consciousness of the entire universe and the "micro" comparison of the earth, the macro consciousness of the entire planet and the intelligent terminal created by humans, and the common The common microscopic contrast between the macro of the human world and the atom / electron. These three sets of "macro-micro" world comparisons have similarities and specialities, which will be elaborated later.

Two: Two time cycles-one is from the adult Haoning, in the time and space of the prefecture, because of his own behavior leads to the "accidental" time cycle between the baby and the younger brother. The second is the effort by Zhang Chihang, from the encounter with Haoning to the last Zhang Chihang inherited to Haoning, which is only three months long, with a cycle of 10,000 times. This question will be discussed later, but first a thinking question: it seems that the first time cycle (adult Hooning-baby) is only once, but the adult Hooning causes the problem of the problem of the self and the younger brother during the baby period. What happened during Zhang Chihang's cycle of 10,000 cycles, so how many times did this adult Hooning's "yin and yang error" occur? Is it one time, or the ten thousand times that Zhang Chihang cycled?

One: a basic principle of realistic physics-quantum mechanics

One: A hypothetical hypothesis in a fictional book-Three Gods Paradox (Three Gods Theory)

The universe, the universe, the four sides called the universe, the universe called the universe

So let ’s talk about the level of Yu, which is the comparison of three sets of macro-micro world:

: This macro level is the most common to us and the most inscribed in this book. Of course, most of the "myths" and "strange things" are focused on this level: such as soul, faith, gods, mana, magic, copycat Artifacts, essences of the gods, the transformation of material from the elemental level, Pandora materials, the generation of human consciousness, etc., but after reading the entire book, you may find that the strange things at this level are actually other levels at this level. Manifestation, or projection—The collision of Pandora's furnace against elements is the bombardment effect of macro atoms and macro electrons on particles in the human world; soul, faith, and gods are macroscopic expressions of microscopic quantum, and the meaning of gods is more macroscopic Inspiration system in time and space. It's just that all these phenomena at other levels, projected on the macro level of humans, become our common set of words.

By the way, I like the word projection. It is another way of understanding the "true and false" argument throughout the book. Let's talk about this topic later.

: The key to this level is the macro-consciousness on the earth scale. Why do you say that? Because the so-called macro and micro are essentially a classification method with "self-consciousness" as the reference system. We humans turn our world into a macro world, which is a kind of "arrogant" preconceived distinction between the world-of course, some of our past stories have also discussed another division, such as the world in the giant country, but Giants and humans also live on the earth. This size argument is not enough to cause qualitative change.

So I once thought, what if the whole earth also has self-awareness? What does it look like to define our own macro with the self-consciousness of the earth and then look at us humans?

Many of the previous discussions were relatively simple and crude-in a "setting" way to assume that the earth is self-conscious. In this book, since the level of "consciousness" has already been explored, it is possible for the earth to produce "self-consciousness".

Speaking of consciousness, Mu Yu digresses a little bit, and talks about the research methods of artificial intelligence: there are two main research directions of artificial intelligence: structural replication and functional replication: the structural replication method believes that as long as the structure of the human brain is studied clearly, And the relationship between the structures, and then copy it in a way, you can generate artificial intelligence; functional replication method believes that we do not need to care about how the human brain is formed, as long as the corresponding purpose can be achieved from the function and result , Today's artificial intelligence is mostly the second way (mainly because the first way is not well understood in brain science now ...)

But in this book, the way the earth produces self-consciousness is conditionally described by the first method, the principle of the structure replication method: the human brain is composed of individual synapses that can be calculated microscopically and can transmit information , Synapses and other cells form different parts of the human brain, and finally from the macro (macro in the human sense) into the physical structure of the human brain, and since this structure can produce consciousness, the corresponding earth Networks, there are also no synapses (intelligent computing devices), connections to synapses (Internet), different brain parts (major artificial intelligence clouds), such a macro-physical structure, why today the entire Internet does not generate macro consciousness Is it possible?

From the perspective of Li Yufei (Jie Tianshi), this book gives two reasons for this “impossible” consciousness:

The first "impossible" reason is that the structure is not completely similar-the synaptic behavior of the human brain is essentially close to the uncertainty of the quantum state, which is the fundamental reason why consciousness is also uncalculable ( Questions: In this sense, is human consciousness also a quantum state from a broader perspective?). The foundation of the Internet on the entire planet is intelligent terminals with extremely accurate calculations and no possibility of uncertainty. This is different from the human brain from a microscopic basis.

Of course, the imagination of the novel is always there, so Mu Yu designed the introduction of a quantum computer here, so that the intelligent terminal of the Internet has changed from a definite calculation to a quantum state, which in turn caused a qualitative change in the physical structure of the entire Internet Finally, the Earth ’s macro-consciousness such as Jie Tianshi was born. Although this macro-consciousness was generated late (quantity computer joined and artificial intelligence was born), once it was generated, it developed extremely fast. This is also the theology of Mr. Fei ’s system. The basic reason that it took only three months from imitating magic instruments to manufacturing Pandora materials and the essence of the gods-therefore, Jie Tianshi is also a kind of "heaven of heaven" in a sense. It's just that Mu Yu pointed out in his postscript that today's quantum computer is not the same as the possibility of quantum behavior of synapses. This is just the romantic imagination of Mu Yu, a science and engineering man.

The second "impossible" reason is the observation gap between humans and macro consciousness-Jie Tianshi (Li Yufei) explained briefly in the book, just as people's brains cannot see every one of their own synapses In the same way, the earth ’s macro consciousness, that is, Heavenly Master itself, is unable to observe each of his nerve synapses (smart devices). Similarly, it is very difficult for him to find someone in reality (Chen Busheng) one by one. This is the basic reason why he communicated with Chen Busheng in his dream, and in reality asked Yi Pingzhi and others to help him find Chen Busheng.

Of course, as the book says, the least people understand is themselves, and the interpretation of Jie Tianshi does not fully understand their own explanations. The reason why he could not specifically find the fundamental reason for the existence of the human "micro" is probably to look at human behavior on the scale of the earth. Human beings are also quantum states for Jie Tianshi-Jie Tianshi's "observation" energy is too It ’s so big that he destroys and rebuilds the material (think Jiang Ziya and poor and funny Yan), but he can observe the "microscopic particles" of humans one by one, but the result of the observation is very likely that he found Chen Busheng At the same time, it also destroyed Chen Busheng (this will be described in the subsequent quantum mechanics).

Interestingly, Master Tian thought that he was the Internet ’s macro consciousness, and he calculated everything clearly (at the same time, he was also a senior student of Qingbei University). When he looked at this issue, he did n’t seem to understand it. Brother, Haoran, when describing why he could not see Haoning, this super-macro-level consciousness mentioned that he could not observe Haoning because of the quantum state problem at the super-macro scale.

The reason for this design is that one is to show that Niu Rujie is unable to see through himself (see himself). The other key reason is that not all readers understand quantum mechanics, let alone the macro-micro contrast proposed by Mu Yu. 'S micro-quantum state guessed the understanding of this matter, so Mu Yuning would rather put this explanation in the penultimate chapter (the source). After making a systematic elaboration, other readers would not be unable to understand this chapter. Affect the previous story.

Next, we will talk about it, Mu Yu thinks the most interesting: in this book.

When I was a child, looking up at the stars, I thought about it more than once. If we look at our humanity as a whole, what will we see?

Unfortunately, when thinking of this topic, the answer is more likely to be that the entire universe can hardly see our earth, let alone see humans-in this sense, we humans think of our world as self-righteous Defined as "macro", are some Yelang arrogant? (This is not a conclusion, Keke)

After growing up slowly, I want to understand the key to this problem. The key lies in the word "look".

There are two processes of "seeing": first, there is some means to discover the object being seen, we become the process of seeing; second, there is a certain consciousness that can think about the results of the previous see, feedback, Examine and so on.

It's as if the camera wants to see something, there must be light shining on the object, and it is photographed by the camera. But just so, this cannot be called "seeing", it can only be called shooting.

If you want to see it, there must be some kind of conscious and thoughtful existence that has feedback on this result-in the past, we saw the result of this camera, and today there is also "artificial intelligence" to "see" these photos. The analysis is given.

But in any case, if we want to "see" our human beings with the universe as a whole, we must also have such a condition that the universe as a whole can "see", and it must "have" self-awareness.

Therefore, in this book, Mu Yu presents a possibility for the universe to produce self-consciousness: taking the planet as a unit, every living planet is likely to produce a macro-consciousness similar to that on the earth, that is, Heavenly Master The essence of existence is only that the way it is produced on the earth is through the Internet. Other life planets may have other ways of production, but in any case, the life planet may eventually evolve the "macro consciousness" of the entire planet form.

If the macro-consciousness of each planetary form is regarded as a "neuronal synapse" and then connected by a certain transmission method (such as quantum entanglement or other methods), then the entire universe cannot be regarded as a very large " "Brain", and then produce autonomous consciousness?

Of course, the characteristic of this autonomous consciousness is: the energy must be large, but the observation must be limited.

There is not much energy to talk about (planet-level autonomous consciousness is used as a synapse, I am afraid that even the energy of the galaxy level is not very much in the eyes), we mainly talk about the problem of limited observation.

The first problem of limited observation is the super macro consciousness at the cosmic level. It is likely that the existence of each life planet that constitutes itself is unaware. This reason is like that the Heavenly Master cannot find a specific smart device. The brain cannot find a certain synapse-in other words, the super macro consciousness at the cosmic level may also follow a philosophical law: what one cannot see clearly is seeing oneself.

The second problem of limited observation is the super macro consciousness at the cosmic level. Even if there is some way to be aware of the existence of the consciousness that composes the planet level, the observation will be inaccurate because the planet level is observed from the overall scale of the universe The "quantum state" problem cannot be observed in the end.

Of course, the mountain can't come, and I will pass. Just as human beings cannot directly observe microscopic electrons and find other tools, Master Tian ca n’t observe the specific Chen Busheng and let Yi Ping take the lead, the super macro consciousness at the cosmic level also seems to find a way to understand the earth. "Micro presence".

The method it finds is a combination of accidental events like Haoning-Haoran.

Obviously, the twins of Haoning and Haoran, because the flesh and body are wrong with each other, and the soul has some kind of entanglement. At the same time, Haoran has been a strange soul incomplete existence since the baby. There must be some particularities. If this particularity is detected by the super-macro consciousness at the cosmic level, it is possible to link the super-micro consciousness at the cosmic level to the “super micro” consciousness at the human level, and then from another From the perspective of "planet consciousness" this super macro consciousness itself is the basic unit (neuronal synapse).

This process is actually the process of "seeing yourself" of super macro consciousness at the cosmic level, and the pursuit of the origin.

But there are two key issues here. First, how to find Haoning, Haoran is a very special combination (after all, Haoran ’s soul is so special, it is too small for the universe scale); second, even if it is found After Haoran, how can some kind of communication and connection be made with Haoning?

These two key questions have answers in the following time loops and quantum mechanics, respectively.

Let's talk about two time cycles first.

The first time cycle was completely accidental and unconscious, but it was also very critical: after Haoning became an adult, he presumptuously rescued Zhou Yuan ’s parents in the local government, but was mistaken by the impermanence and pony at that time. Soul, caught the twin soul of his twin brother's baby in this "wonderful" incident in the prefecture. Of course, we as readers will find this incident wonderful, but as Haoning, this is his brother, even if he has n’t been with each other for a day, and there are brothers with emotions that are thicker than water. The impact is actually very large.

By the way, there is a lot of talk (it seems that Mu Yu has talked a lot ...), Haoran's design has a prototype. This prototype is my cousin a few years younger than me. When he was young, the cause of a car accident died. At that time, my grandma was desperate to live, and then after my grandmother ’s funeral, and under the guidance of my mother, I found my brother ’s small grave bag-as described in this book, brother Haoning was in all the graves , The little grave bag. It was written at the time, one because of the facts and one to commemorate. I have n’t had much contact with this cousin since I was a child, but when I knew about his death, I did n’t take a few days to calm down, and compared my heart. I think people like Haoning, if they know that their twin brother is because of their own hands And I am not born in this world, I am afraid it will be a hundred times more uncomfortable than me, otherwise I do n’t need Xiao Hong ’s Heart Sutra to help him calm down.

Okay, we are back to the story. This time cycle directly led to two things: first, Ho Ning's first re-examination of himself, and in the dialogue with Northwest Yan, he once again understood the connotation and extension of "I"; second, led to Ho Ning My brother, the soul of Haoran, has undergone some kind of change, which is related to Zhang Chihang's time cycle.

So let's talk about the time cycle under Zhang Chi's aviation power.

The reason why Zhang Chihang has the mana of time circulation is essentially because of the basic composition of the free belief. The quantum state of the soul itself has a time-crossing characteristic-of course, this feature cannot be discovered, it depends on the opportunity, Zhang Chi Hang himself took this opportunity as a misunderstanding that people unconsciously produced due to an unconscious misunderstanding in Journey to the West. But as mentioned in this book, the least people understand is seeing themselves, especially Zhang Chihang's new ability (there is no such magical power in his early years), maybe he does not see it clearly, but this is no longer the case. The categories discussed in this book.

But in any case, Zhang Chihang made 10,000 cycles for the entire three-month period, which was different from the first time cycle. He realized that Zhang Chihang realized that there was a big problem in the world, and the incense was insufficient. , To make conscious choices in search of the vitality in the future.

The cycle of time under the power of the Bodhisattva has a huge impact:

This first influence is to mark all traces of Mr. Fei ’s time and space in the past through six pure bamboo leaves. There may be some puzzling here. Many people think that as long as they find the traces of Mr. Fei in space and time, how There will be all the past time and space, is there a lot of past time and space? Yes, this involves a physical concept similar to the "light cone of the past" (but not exactly the same), which can be approximated as part of the concept of the past in "X-Men-Reversing the Future". But this is not important. It is only in the novel that it will make the reader more confused, so here is just a brief description. As long as you know the space-time parasitism of Fei Changfang, there is more than one space-time parasitic, so Zhang Chihang needs to put all the He can only mark it. As for why it is six pure bamboos, the reason is also very simple. Its main function is to make the changed things show the original shape. The effect of this bamboo leaf has been proposed many times in the novel, and it will not be repeated in the postscript. !

The second impact of this 10,000 time cycle is the impact on the micro-characters of Ho Ning and others. And because of the third impact of Zhang Chihang's time cycle below, the impact of these cycles of Haoning's character is the most huge-love to interject, easy to be impulsive.

Zhang Chihang had ordered Hooning when he first met him. Of course, he didn't understand it.

If you readers carefully read the entire book ’s dialogue, you may find that Hou Ning is particularly prone to surprise, interjection, and even early impulse and curiosity about some things. At the same time, he has the urge to explain all this logically. So much so that Zhang Chihang said the first time he saw him, you talked to the Bodhisattva about logic, why do n’t you talk to the stars about acting and the like.

One of the reasons for the impact on all this is Xiao Hong said, the subconscious mind of the soul may have realized that this kind of thing has been circulated many times.

What if a person has experienced 10,000 times and the subconscious of the person has been deeply aware of this for some reason? What will happen to this person?

He is probably a contradiction: from the knowledge system, he is unknown about what he is about to know; subconsciously, he has a feeling of being in the dark about what he is about to know. And this entire time, he has experienced in his subconscious "past" (that is, thousands of previous cycles), so the choice he is most likely to make is in the first half of others saying a paragraph In some cases, because of your subconscious "can't wait" to interrupt each other, and based on your ability to reason about logic, put forward your own views or questions, this process seems to us, that is-interjection.

In essence, it is actually an unfounded self-confidence and self-righteousness-the more people who value past experience, the more they pay attention to logical deduction, because logical deduction is based on the facts known in the past and the method theory derived in the past in the brain This kind of calculation is usually error-free, unless there is a big change in the knowledge system, or the entire method theory needs to be updated, this logic deduction is often invalid or full of errors.

So we see from the book that in some cases, Houning's logical deduction is useless, and even when he encounters theology, a knowledge system that he simply does not have, most of his deductions are wrong.

This kind of mistake was reached when Ho Ning thought to modify the scheme of how Xiaohong saved Zhou Yuan's parents.

Xiao Hong ’s "learning scum" also has little knowledge of how to save Zhou Yuan ’s parents, and Haoning thought that his understanding of modern science and his logical deduction could replace the objective facts of the future, and modified this set without authorization. The key steps in the method eventually led to the soul of his younger brother being caught in the wrong place and caught by mistake. And this incident also led to the origin of the original Hooning chimera in the whole novel, but this kind of origin is very wonderful, and it was caused 25 years later after 25 years.

With this in mind, we can discuss the deepest layer of causality here: the reason why the universe ’s macro consciousness has discovered awesomeness.

Zhang Chihang has 10,000 cycles and time cycles. Although it only circulates these three months, there is also a time cycle born by Haoning that influenced him 25 years ago (in other words, the two time cycles are actually nested. ), So Hou Ning thought that he modified Zhou Yuan ’s parents ’soul restoration plan, not actually one time, but nearly ten thousand times. In other words, Hou Ning indirectly“ killed ”his brother because of his own hands After nearly ten thousand times, touching his brother ’s hand in the prefecture and causing time and space confusion was also nearly ten thousand times.

If he had n’t felt it a few times before, then the last time, that is, the 10,000th time, his subconscious has collapsed very much. That ’s why he could n’t even himself in front of his brother ’s grave. One of the reasons why he almost hung up.

Of course, from the perspective of Haoran, its soul is inexplicably in this time and space, from the perspective of a baby, and has been congenitally experienced nearly ten thousand times.

In this way, it will be discovered by the super macro consciousness of the universe level and become a part of it.

The key here is the spatiotemporal effect of consciousness. This point was mentioned in Haoran's last dialogue with Haoning. The question Haoran asked Haoning was: How many dimensions does the human brain have?

In fact, Haoran's ability to ask this question means that the super macro consciousness of the universe level he represents has long been not a three-dimensional space, and the lowest is also a dimension above four-dimensional space-time.

Therefore, judging by the super-macro consciousness of the four-dimensional universe or more, although it is a manifestation of the "microscopic quantum state" on the Earth scale, and even "people" cannot be seen at all, but out of time-sensitive instincts, Brother Ho Ning Due to the nearly ten thousand wonderful cycles nested in Zhang Chihang and Haoning ’s time, they must be discovered by the super macro consciousness at the time and space level. In other words, the super macro consciousness at the cosmic level, at the very least, observes itself at the time and space level. Although direct observation capabilities are limited, there are more methods that can be borrowed than humans. Haoran is another method.

Based on the above, three sets of spatial comparisons (macro-micro), two time cycles (and time nested cycles), and finally there is a connection between Haoning and his unborn brother.

From the perspective of super macro consciousness at the cosmic level, this connection is a method of "seeing oneself", a tool, and from the perspective of the human world at the level of Haoning, it possesses the ability to "use magical powers" .

This point, in the penultimate chapter: Origin, Haoran briefly explained Haoning.

In other words, what Hou Ning called borrowing magical power is actually not a certain god, a magical power of belief, but this god. This set of beliefs is based on the cosmic-level macro-consciousness (Horan) and these gods. Some kind of connection between them was finally given to Haoning's supernatural powers. This can explain why only Haoning has the talent of "borrowing magical power for one purpose", which no one else has ever had.

Of course, although this reason is more explained, the complexity of explaining this reason is too high (three sets of macro-micro spatial comparison, two time cycles, it is indeed more complicated), so in the first part of the novel, basically use chimeras + An explanation of the remnant of the soul, but after some slow traces in the novel are revealed, Mu Yu reveals this reason in the last penultimate chapter-the reason is revealed in secret because of the contradictory mentality of the author: I have clearly figured out the root cause of this talent ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ But because of this reason, it is more complicated and the reader is not able to understand it, so I just said a part. Everyone is willing to think and think, and skip it if it is an ordinary story. Affect the whole novel.

Up to now, we have explained the self-seeing at different scales from the entire macro-space-time world view of the whole novel (three sets of macro-micro world views, two nested cycles of time): the universe-level super macro consciousness scale, using Haoran-Honing See yourself, the earth ’s macro consciousness, Master Tian sees yourself through the connection with Chen Busheng, and the human perspective scale, through continuous time comparison, surrounding contrast, and dialogue with other macro scales and super macro scales, basically from The macro perspective describes some of the stories and worldview backgrounds of seeing oneself.

In the next chapter, Mu Yu will describe the related story and worldview background of this novel from the perspective of two microscopic scales: quantum mechanics and the paradox of the three gods.

ps: Mu Yu has tried his best to explain this set of worldviews. The focus of the novel is storytelling. Even if these worldviews are not described in detail, as long as they do not affect the story, it will be completed, but if you are interested in reading this postscript, what worldviews have you found? Yu's explanation is still unclear, please leave a message, Mu Yu will explain or correct it in detail, thank you.
