"transition?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, because between these two modules, there are quite a few application systems that cannot be directly classified into one of the modules. They should."

"It should be handled this way, which is more in line with our current overall understanding."

"That's it." Vidoville nodded, "Chiefs, please continue."

"The next part, they have been widely used, but in fact, the current way of summarizing it is relatively failed." As he said, on the other side, a series of new rays of light began to fill the place before. New lines emerge and are outlined in the picture of pattern. As there are more and more overlapping parts in the pattern, the algorithm responsible for maintaining the clarity of pattern representation will increase the dimensionality of the entire structural pattern to ensure the clarity of the associated information that the pattern needs to present.

"Reality distortion can be seen as a phenomenon or as a development idea."

"The reasons for the establishment of reality distortion, to put it simply, they are related to the "uniformity" phenomenon prevalent in all levels and fields in the void, and this involves our current concept of information unification and our current "overall environment of the void" "Hypothesis formed" Having said this, the chiefs turned their attention to the seats of the emperors.

"Speak freely, we have plenty of time at the moment and everything we have to do makes sense."

"Yes. So currently, the relatively accepted theory of void development holds that a long, long time ago, before there was any time scale that could measure different worlds by itself, at that period, the worlds in the void were different from each other. The space may be completely divided by the void, there is no inheritance relationship between them, there is no disturbance relationship, and they will not be affected by each other."

“The maximum scope of all influences in the world itself is only related to the interval that the order field can cover, and outside that interval, other worlds can be considered to not exist - because they cannot be drawn in the same meaningful In the interval, no matter how to define this interval, no matter how to attach attributes to this interval.”

Next to the previous display structure, a new black "plane" emerges from the void. On top of that, there are many light points flashing on and off rapidly, but within that plane, the highly distorted time order and space order have disrupted the original uniform and stable law, which makes the flashing of those light points The motion is very strange - it is difficult to measure the light spots, to confirm the relationship between each other, and to tell clearly which light spot lights up "first" and which lights up "last".

"This is the earliest possible picture in the void. It is meaningless to describe which period of time this hypothesis corresponds to, because when no effective connection relationship can be established, those messy sites can have countless correct mapping relationships with us now. , any one of them is right or wrong. However, this situation may not last too long."

As the words progressed, different scenes began to appear in the black plane - I don’t know when, among the messy light spots of light and dark in the void, some special light spots began to produce new phenomena: Those light spots seemed to be completely "exploded" by extremely strong force, and these exploded light spots were not extinguished directly. Their embers and their remains carved paths in the black plane, setting off a wave of waves. The formation can cross the shock wave of the void.

"After those information shocks spread in the void, they did not completely dissipate."

"Yes, your majesties, but this is just a possibility at that stage. At present, we are not sure what factors determine the large and stable self-consistent structure of "the world" to survive stably in the void. This The statement is equivalent to "We don't know when an order barrier that can survive stably and resist the erosion of the void began to appear in the void."

"We don't know exactly what factors can promote the formation of this "primitive accumulation" - from absolute to non-absolute. If the gap is studied deeply, it can be considered to be larger than any span that can be constructed. With this With the formation of accumulation, the scope that the general concept of time can cover also begins to spread. In this process, the information fluctuations released when countless worlds are born and fall in the void begin to stack on each other and begin to intersect with each other. Because they existence, the void gradually becomes “empty” but not “nothing”.”

"The void is not nothingness." The chiefs quickly noticed that the emperors such as Cavinriel and Zhai Cahir seemed to be deep in thought.

"His Majesty?"

"This is very familiar. It has nothing to do with this matter yet, please continue."

"Yes, as these extremely thin and weak information disturbances that remain in the void spread rapidly, the worlds are no longer absolutely divided. There begins to be a connection between the worlds, and the disturbance in one world may be in another world Embodiment. This is the current "void field", which can also be said to be the most recognized birth hypothesis of "information background disturbance" in the void."

"Countless worlds are between birth and death, relying on the traces left by their broken bodies to connect countless worlds - it's like those dots made a "graph paper" by themselves ", a piece of "graph paper" on which although the points are still far apart, all points can be drawn on it and connected to each other through a series of conversions."

The consciousness gently touches the key, and when countless light points dissipate, they release nihilistic and dim shock waves. These shock waves overlap with each other, making the pure darkness "gray" to an extremely small extent.

"The void field was born since then, but this "field" itself is not uniform. Various large-scale information bodies, including the world, have higher information concentration. They are the "field sources" in this field, and those close to the field source In areas, the field strength will increase relatively, and in areas far away from the field source, the field strength will decrease. According to the observation results, we currently believe that the "weak area" will change when it is affected by the "strong area", which is the same as what we observe in each world The essence behind many of the phenomena we see corresponds to each other. And this process corresponds to reality, which is a distortion of reality in a practical sense."

"If the strict definitions in the records and the corresponding details behind the strict definitions are completely laid out, the reason why the reality distortion covers a wide area and has entangled locations will be very clear-our current three parallel lines all contain the following Technologies that distort reality as a way to achieve the goals we need, such as various stabilizing fields in the technological system, various freezing fields in the magic system, and the "secondary weight effect" that has appeared in the emergent system, They all fit the definition and philosophy of reality distortion."

"The above parts can be regarded as intersections. However, the three major paths also have considerable technologies that can achieve the goal without distorting reality. And if reality distortion is counted as a system, many parts of this system have not yet been The methods are effectively quantified and explained, but they do not fully comply with the development concepts corresponding to technology and magic. Therefore, we separated it from itself and formed a new [application system]."

"Your Majesty, this is not the only [application system] that can help achieve the goal. It is technically mature and feasible but difficult to be accurately quantified. It is difficult to have a standard model. The connection between the essence of phenomena is not completely constant. We have recorded it so far. , and also includes at least three application systems that are so different from each other that they can be completely independent, such as anti-segmentation applications, time nonlinear manipulation and symbolic guidance applications."

"However, at present, the first two can only be said to be short-lived, and we do not have enough data to preserve them. The latter has highly overlapped with the scope of the three major knowledge systems. There is no need to elaborate on this aspect. .”

"Currently, the most special application system is the narrative application system. Relatively speaking, it also has the highest entry threshold. At the same time, it can also take into account considerable "irrationality" - it is not caused by large-scale melees. The irrationality formed when a large number of chaotic phenomena exceed the limits of intelligent acceptance and processing is not the irrationality caused by the chaotic phenomena themselves, but the real "unquantifiable"."

"... Because as a being who once lived in a world with stable rules and order, the relevant concepts and the deepest habits and destination of the soul still like the atmosphere of "home". Maybe so, but we must be prepared to face it for a long time Various possibilities "outside the door."" Vidoville glanced at the huge embedded body that was still vibrating at a fixed frequency, "Please continue."

The consciousness once again activated the command, and the scene floating above the ring table underwent new changes together with the scene in everyone's consciousness - the eight circles expanded outward from the original "zero point", becoming dense and complex before. Messy "tree" cut open.

"Knowledge system, applied technology, and applicable fields are inseparable from each other. In different fields, different knowledge and technologies correspond to completely different scopes of application."

"Currently, we continue to use the "division method" once demonstrated by Σ Civilization as the current reference in specific research. According to our current analysis and reuse of "Nine Heavens", we currently do not follow the original "Nine Heavens" system The division method used is because the "nine days" of Σ do not conform to our cognitive development stage.

"We have adjusted the order of these nine levels - moving the original first layer of sky, which represents the extremely close to the smallest attributes of existence, and the second layer of sky, which represents the micro-elements that constitute the basis of ordered information including the world, to Between the original "seven" and "eight"."

"Among the currently demarcated areas, the basic four-layer areas correspond to the hierarchical combination methods we have determined for most of the world - from one to four, they respectively correspond to the actual application layer, the structural system layer, and the mapping layer. Management layer and underlying protocol layer.”

"The first field corresponding to the practical application layer represents the level at which intelligent life begins to explore the structure of the world when wisdom has just begun. Based on our current speculation about the living conditions of our ancestors and the recorded records from the Observer Council Through information analysis, we can restore part of the actual situation at that level - during that period, intelligent beings were often still exploring and utilizing the most superficial content."

"They try to interact with different surface structures and find projects that can maintain their own survival and improve their own living conditions from the simplest and most direct interactions. These simplest interactions will take different forms as life continues. The methods are passed down and gradually accumulated to form a more complete and complex system."

"The system is developing, and as the system improves and grows, there is often the ability of intelligent communities to transform the environment and their own needs. If this process can develop stably, it is only a matter of separately understanding and using the surface content, and using direct The materials may soon be unable to meet the needs of development.”

"After that, no matter what attitude it is, what method it is, when intelligent beings try to understand the deeper nature of things, they try to no longer use the most basic and primitive surface representation of the world, but try to use the surface-based representation to When structures explore some of the essence to understand the world on a deeper level, to optimize or even create new structures that may not originally exist in the natural environment and use them, they are moving to the next field, to the structural system level."

"The structural system layer is located between the laws and representations in the world, and it can play a sufficient role in inheriting it. After the laws are formed and coordinate with each other, some of them will gradually "cool down" as the world develops. But such "cooling" will not be completely uniform, and the cooled products will not all be in the same stable state."

“The cooled parts between the actual application layer and the mapping management layer are different energy level ranges, and the gap between these energy level ranges, which may cover many orders of magnitude, is the difference between many worlds and different universes. "Energic desert" is quite common in the world."

"After that, when the field covers the mapping management layer, the technology and concepts begin to truly come into contact with the real "laws of the universe." Most of the world currently known has one or more sets of laws, which are very complex and can There are many layers of extension, but they are all autocovariant under normal circumstances. They can form a relatively stable environment, and the operation of rules and rules is stable and "smooth". They will not cause one of them to Or several parties may become fragmented and fragmented due to incovariance.”

"However, they are not "perfect". Whether in terms of perfection or covariance, they all have loopholes - just like the planes connected by regular pentagons in the default spatial structure. They can also be extended infinitely, but there will always be gaps in them. At present, there is no direct observation and record of a world with an absolutely perfect structure."

"As for the underlying protocol layer, our knowledge of it is relatively limited compared to other fields. Current existing data and observation records show that the existence of the underlying protocol layer may have been directly related to the creation of the world - Creation The Big Bang can be considered to represent the disturbance that occurs when a large amount of highly enriched virtual information and the "transformation trend" in the void begin to fall toward the actual structure after the natural [emergent phenomenon] breaks through the critical threshold in the void."

"The underlying protocol layer regulates the transformation process. It may be similar to a huge truth rune, ensuring that the information flow flows according to certain rules. This also means that the "solution" of all laws can be solved by They are composed of themselves, just like the least common factor. As the least common factor, they screen all the rules of "solutions" to their "multiples" to ensure the establishment of covariance."

"Of course, the actual content corresponding to these statements is much more complicated. The abstract meaning of these contents can be clarified by relying on the logical basis behind these words. However, the countless examples they correspond to require more practical demonstration and research. Some of those cases can be contained within the current logical system, but a few cannot - they may be included in some system in the future, or they may be divergent isolated cases." When shrouded in the origin After the four intervals were gradually given a huge amount of information, our eyes came to newer and higher-level fields.

"Extraordinary information, pan-concepts, strong laws, metaphysical split existence. This is a relatively thick and vast field. Starting from the base here, we will enter the oldest division used by your majesty at that time. The "extraordinary" category in the hierarchy..."

"Crystal energy, arcana, and white matter are still the most important extraordinary information. They are widely present in our various devices. They are the energy we rely on to survive, our blood, and the power we use to exercise everything. The main source of power for will. Over a long period of time, the empire has used technological means to continuously adjust the entire system. Now, the extraction of extraordinary information has been comprehensive and mature, but there are still problems - this essential problem, and Different ‘looks’ exist in many places.”

"At the same time, it should be noted that in this field, what we need to face is no longer one world or several worlds. What we have to face is countless worlds, a huge world with no edges that can be seen. The Internet is the real infinity in the void. We need to consider the connections between countless worlds, and we need to enable ourselves to adapt to and connect with countless worlds. This requires us to be able to generalize from countless worlds. Concepts, strong laws and other contents that can be universal and effective in a pluralistic world."

"However, it is worth noting that they are not actually absolute at present. The basic descriptions describing strong laws and general concepts are not eternal, and they are currently only valid in most of the worlds we have discovered." ". We're not sure they can stay that way."

"Metaphysical..."

"Your Majesty Cavenriel?"

"Once upon a time, we used metaphysics to describe our previous thoughts and some of our practices. That was a long, long time ago, before...the Exile, and in the early and middle years of the Exilic Era. At that time, many variables appeared in an instant, which made us ...No, it should be said that during the Era of Exile, our huge losses and the loss of our basic environment caused us to have very strong self-doubt."

"At that time, due to the drastic changes in the nature of reality, we began to doubt from all directions whether our perceptions were accurate and consistent with the situation at that time. At that time, we did not have many ways to check our guesses, so we Many of the speculations are actually one-sided and fragmented, because we ourselves could not imagine what they should be at that time. The concepts of information totality and information concentration were proposed in the middle and late period of the Exile Era, and that theory explained the new There are issues and ‘movement’ issues on our part under the Great Unification.”

"You heard it right, move. Yes, at that time, we didn't know how many variables our "movement" actually involved and how many variables needed to be involved. Our life at that time could still rely on instinct without causing too much damage. changes, but at that time, no issue could be studied in detail, otherwise the mind would be very likely to be dragged down. After that, the separated understanding was originally thought to be gradually bridged with the gradual enrichment and deepening of understanding. But the reality is not that simple.”

The fifth circle is fully lit.

"[Separated existence] is relative to the world, to a complete and coordinated system of rules, and to our current understanding. From here on, "everything is possible" is no longer an empty talk limited to a rational cognitive perspective. They are The existence of indicates the establishment of isolated evidence and abnormal rules, and they themselves also indicate more problems - they are directly related to the content that the seventh and eighth circles can represent. Chiefs, let This old guy like me, let me talk about the following content, I can be considered as "returning to my old profession"."

"Yes, His Majesty Cavenriel."

Cavinriel took over the "consciousness baton" sent from another cluster of nodes. He looked around at the people sitting around the ring table, and then moved his focus to the sixth and seventh circles.

"They are micro-elements, at the micro level. They are the units and original basis that make up the macro structure."

"The smallest foundation that constitutes the world is the real information micro-unit, the smallest actual unit of existence. They are the ordinary bottom line that order and the macro environment can interact with, and can disturb and touch each other. They are also the coordinates that can cover countless worlds. Paper" is the smallest field source. From here on, things get a little different."

"They are very small, and they are also very weak, so that apart from the non-differentiable "actual existence", they themselves can be said to have no "properties". And this also means that these primitives do not It is not similar to any type of microstructure with relatively fixed properties."

"They can build a more macroscopic structure in any way, and they can also interact with each other in any way - phenomena that seemed contrary to intuitive feelings, objective reality and even laws in those previous eras, in the information micro It may be commonplace in the Yuan realm.”

"We can even say that when measuring them, most of the existing laws have failed, because most of the laws are formed by themselves."

"However, there is currently no such scene - in theory, they are enough to support any form of rules, enough to support the development of any world in any form. But this has not happened. In fact, a large number of phenomena have been observed and recorded so far. It shows that the operation of information micro-units tends to be consistent and unified at the macro and overall levels. Although there are still interactions that are different from the current rule system, they have never experienced large-scale changes under non-sudden situations and non-artificial directional guidance. An actual outbreak on that scale - at least, has not yet been seen and recorded."

"At present, attempts to relate them to practical applications are still expanding. But in the construction of the superstructure we are still faced with mysteries - all transitions from the absolute to the non-absolute are real mysteries, and we There are already some hypotheses that are highly feasible and have been partially verified, but these hypotheses are still incomplete. If we want to solve these mysteries, we need everyone to work together."

Cavinrel once again looked at all the people who were listening to this summary. He then continued the current planning process. Invisibly, no one noticed that there were some insignificant cracks in the "noose", and they seemed to be "weakened" unconsciously.

"The seventh circle corresponds to the small limit of virtual information, which can be considered to cease to exist in an independent state. They are already at the current stable limit height."

"They themselves are so small that we may not be able to use any means to determine what exactly one such micro-element will do. We cannot determine how they are combined with each other and how they interact with each other in the microscopic state. In fact, , it is entirely possible that they do not exist. However, the things they are composed of are often very large-probabilistic lightning chains, the "fire" of the national ignition device, and even the void field itself."

"Currently, we believe that symbolism may start to "take effect" from here, and these microscopic "pulls" will continue to change representations as information is stacked. And juxtaposed with this, there is also the "large-scale" in the void "Disturbance" phenomenon. At present, we have reason and evidence to speculate that the void environment has been changed or even covered many times by disturbances from civilization or existence. We are confident enough to determine that this place is no longer the "original state."

"These illusory micro-elements, like the "super metaphysical" and the overall emergence of the void level covered by the eighth circle, are the limits of the current realm of stable cognition and practical attainment. They correspond to the micro and macro respectively. "

"Pataphysics, while corresponding to possible entities that may exist in the void and transcend the world, also corresponds to a large number of creations from us and from intelligent civilization. The method of application is appropriate enough, and the purpose and meaning are clear enough, even if The thought and will that were once separated can also shine in the vast void."

"When abstract concepts are combined, when fragmentation and one-sidedness are combined, far beyond their previous limitations. Metaphysics that cannot escape isolation and static will be transcended. It is worth noting that they have practical opposites and opposites. control measures, and research related to them should be carried out in parallel."

"The ninth circle, at present, they are just distant phantoms, possible illusions. We cannot be sure whether Σ has ever done this - although we have samples from Σ, after experiencing the big collapse, it is very difficult to It is possible that they have changed their gender. Therefore, we cannot use them now to verify whether they are true or not, and they cannot be directly denied."

"But we must be clear: from our perspective, if we strictly follow existing standards and strictly achieve the "ideal state" we have set, we may not be able to do it. We can get close to this class. We can also use various methods We use various means to improve ourselves and try to narrow the gap, but we may never reach the "ninth day", or in other words - in order to reach these goals, we need to spend an infinite amount of time."

"The truth of the void, the "story" based on us, the application of the real, the void itself. Some traces are still there, and we have detected these traces from those records, and also detected some of the "Nine Heavens" system Practical fragments are too far to describe them."

With all the annotations and numerous detailed examples of the last circle being displayed, countless complex structures have grown around the former point, and the edges of these structures still shine with this golden stream of light, indicating that they are still growing. , everything is far from over.

"At present, our control over the absolute scope is still very small compared to the previous era and compared to Σ, but at present, the impact of information unification itself is still broad enough."

"Currently, our observation results and simulation results can support that even outside the infinite area, everything can still be calculated. After superimposing the actual observation and application results, we can determine that the grand unified theory of information has its own containment capabilities and its own development The extensibility is large enough, and the range it can cover is broad enough. At present, we don’t have to consider that it will suffer from original failure or require changes in its original nature.”

"The outline of this meeting has been elaborated. But behind this basic framework, the supplements are far from complete."

"We all need time to think about what we can get out of the meeting - no need to say it, no need to delve into it, for now, keep the ideas to yourself, there is a lot of information here, and it is difficult to get it effective in a short period of time unfold, and we need to continue to take advantage of them in the future.”

"Meeting dismissed."
