First Player

Chapter 800 Chapter 799·"Grandmother's Paradox, Klein Bottle, Cosmic Program Theory (Part 2)"

The content of the civilized bet is: [The person performing the contract, Su Mingan, must restart the Dawn System within twenty days. 】

Then, as long as the "Performer Su Mingan" is never able to reach the twentieth day, this civilized bet can become a piece of paper.

When Su Mingan arrives on the nineteenth day, he will meet Akto, who will ask him to go back to the past and hand over his identity as a "performer" to himself on the first day.

Analyzing only from the causal level, when "Su Ming'an in the past" has experienced nineteen days and meets Akto again, Akto will let "Su Ming'an in the past" go back to the past and hand over the identity of the "performer" Give the next self on the first day, that is, the "Su Ming'an of the past", to achieve infinite recursion.

The time in the ruined world is grid time. As long as Su Mingan exists in this world, it will leave traces in the system, no matter the past, present, or future. Although only the current Su Ming'an is the real "player Su Ming'an", he in the past can also be counted in the definition of "Su Ming'an".

This is a loophole in the text of "Performer: Su Ming'an". The text can only refer to one "object" and cannot refer to "Su Ming'an" on a specific timeline.

The current Su Ming'an can boldly move towards the future, while the past "Su Ming'an" has the "back to the past Su Ming'an" to help him reach the nineteenth day.

——In this way, it becomes an ouroboros with no beginning or end of cause and effect.

The identity of "Performer Su Mingan" will cycle back and forth in the handover between the past and the present, from the 19th day back to the first day, from the first day to the 19th day, and from the 19th day back to the first day. . The twentieth day is never reached.

"..."

In the white light, Su Mingan clenched the chocolate in his hand, his heart beating very fast, and the ladder of thinking was built in his mind, gradually building a complete temple.

He felt like he was in a trance, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

"Su Ming'an, the cause and effect of Ouroboros are directly connected. It is impossible for 'no cause and effect', or 'cause and no effect', because once you lose one of them, you will not be able to stand here. We can The basis of the conversation here is that you have linked the cause and effect at a certain point in time, maybe in the past, maybe in the future." Akto said: "That is, if there is a cause, there must be an effect, and if there is an effect, it must be inferred. because."

"I understand." Su Mingan's voice was hoarse, and this information had a great impact on him. Without Akto's explanation, he wouldn't have been able to figure it out.

It's like the grandmother paradox - if you go back in time and kill your grandmother. Without your grandmother, you would not have been born into the world. But the question is, if you were not born, who killed your grandmother?

The current situation is similar to that where Su Mingan is in a Schrödinger state of "killing grandma" and "not killing grandma". Only if "his grandmother had not been killed" could he successfully reach the nineteenth day. If "his grandmother had been killed", he would not have been able to reach the nineteenth day and would not have heard these theories.

When he stands here, this cause and effect has already existed. His "grandmother" must be alive now. What he has to do is to go back to the past and stop himself from "killing his grandmother".

He cannot measure this three-dimensional battle in terms of linear time. Time here is just a network. You can jump the chess pieces to one grid, or jump across parallel lines to another grid. You can even fold this network in half. Four copies, one for 1 year, one for 32 years, one for 72 years, and one for 102 years.

In other words, all normal definitions of 'time' must be thrown away. Normal definitions will not work in a ruined world.

Time must be understood in terms of space.

Just like a Klein bottle - there is a hole at the bottom of a bottle. Now the neck of the bottle is extended to pull it into the bottle and connected to the hole at the bottom. Unlike the cups we usually use to drink water, this Klein bottle does not "Edge", its surface does not end. A butterfly can fly directly from the inside of the bottle to the outside without crossing the surface, that is, there is no distinction between inside and outside of the Klein bottle.

Now, Su Mingan is like that butterfly. As long as he passes through the Klein bottle composed of three dimensions, he can return to the original program and type in the letter that Akto has filled in beforehand, so that the causal link becomes Ouroboros.

In the field of mathematics, a Klein bottle is a non-directional plane, a concept in which the inside and outside are completely indistinguishable. If the universe is compared to a higher-dimensional Klein bottle, the universe is also boundless.

Although humans think they are in the universe, they may also exist outside the universe. The boundaries between "inside" and "outside" are not clear. No matter how humans explore, they may eventually return to the same starting point, just like The never-full Klein bottle.

The Möbius strip is very distorted in two-dimensional space, but it is very reasonable in three-dimensional space. In the same way, although the Klein bottle looks very strange in three-dimensional space, it has the characteristics of four-dimensional space. No directionality.

Since reality is a three-dimensional space, using real-world theories to explain the Klein bottle belonging to the four-dimensional space will appear awkward anyway.

But it's reasonable.

The cause and effect, and the distinction between inside and outside of the ruined world are like a Klein bottle.

"...Have you figured it out?"

Under the pure white light, Akto drank tea again. His posture is particularly leisurely, like a mentor waiting for his students to understand.

The fragrance of tea filled the air, and Su Mingan stared blankly at the Ouroboros pattern swimming in the air. After a moment, he said: "I still don't understand, I'm sorry. But after the world copy is over, I will continue to discuss it with Noel and others. "

These theories of Akto have gone far beyond the scope of the ruined world, and even touched the level of cosmology. Su Ming'an recorded all these words so that they could discuss them in secret when they celebrate the New Year with Noel and the others.

Maybe there will be new ideas to confront the organizers.

Su Mingan's eyes darkened a little, and the tower of thoughts was about to be submerged by the flood.

The previous simulation is superimposed on the current simulation. The end of this simulation may also be the beginning of the next simulation. Time is like a Klein bottle in high dimensions. Time in the eyes of high dimensions is more commonly used as 'dimension'. Expressed with 'cause and effect' rather than simply 'linear time'.

This kind of thinking may help him fight against Gao Dimension.

Su Mingan put his hand on his chest and felt his heart pounding. A new window had opened in front of him, and theories he had never seen before were poured into his mind.

On the first day when the dungeon was opened, he would never have thought that the nature of the ruined world would be so complicated - four timelines were not enough, a three-dimensional firewall theory was needed, and a firewall theory was not enough, a bunch of titles were also needed. The tail snake, the Möbius strip, the Klein bottle, the grandmother paradox, and even the cosmic program theory.

This is much broader than the battle between the two gods in the sky. Clues upon clues, theories upon theories, it’s a huge mystery made up of a whole world.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Just do as I say." Akto put down the tea cup: "After all, you are still young and have not even had in-depth exposure to mathematics and physics. Many theories are difficult for you to understand. I believe that if you can With enough life and your will, you can do better than me."

"How can I compare to you?" Su Mingan shook his head.

It is difficult for him to even understand these theories, how can he compare with the founder of the theory.

"So specifically, what should I do?" Su Mingan said.

Akto stood up.

Flower-like white light surrounded him, and he walked in this pure white space:

"Su Ming'an, the Central City Laboratory in Catastrophe 72 - that's where you started. It is a 'transfer station' used to store the real Dawn system. The Central City Laboratory does not belong to any dimension; it does not belong to any dimension. The first year of the three dimensions does not belong to the 32nd year of the two dimensions, nor does it belong to the 102nd year of the city of measurement. It is independent."

"That's it." Su Mingan understood. It seems that the real Dawn system is protected in this 'transit station'.

"The time in the Central City Laboratory has been repeated within five days because we need to constantly reset the coordinates of this 'transfer station'." Akto said: "Otherwise, if the time in the Central City Laboratory continues, It’s easy to be locked into coordinates by [other dimensions] just like the other three dimensions.”

Su Mingan nodded.

No wonder no one in the Central City Laboratory was invaded by [Tavi], it turned out that it was absolutely safe.

"But the only hidden danger is you." Akto said:

"At the beginning of the dungeon, you were a person who frequently entered and exited the City of Measurement and the Central City Laboratory. [Tai Wei] probably targeted your coordinates and locked the location of the Central City Laboratory within five days. Even if it was only once. If cause and effect breaks, we will all cease to exist.”

"What I need you to do is to lure the 'past you' into the ruined building in the City of Measurement, which is the 'future state' of the Central City Laboratory - let the past you be located in 102, and let the present you You are located in the year 72. Make the coordinates of the Central City Laboratory coincide with the 72nd year and the 102nd year at the same time. Use one-dimensional coordinates to confuse the vision of [other dimensions] and prevent the laboratory from being locked."

When Su Mingan heard this, his back was already wet with cold sweat.

This kind of operation of "the past belongs to 102 years, and the present belongs to 72 years. The past belongs to the future, and the future belongs to the past." is too shocking and unheard of.

"I know." He said:

"The past has not yet become a fait accompli. I must erase the hidden dangers of the past."

"Ding dong!"

The system prompt sounds:

[You accepted the new main quest "Ouroboros\
