Chapter 1140： The second type of cross-border and observer exile

It is not difficult for Gawain to understand what Enya said, but he still fell into a long time of thinking after listening. In the process of thinking, some long-pending theories were confirmed, and some he did not think about. The key points of understanding were supplemented, and most importantly, he finally confirmed a guess that he had had a long time ago, but was still uncertain.

The gods are some kind of "closed system", or the premise for the gods to be established in a certain civilized system is the "closed" of this civilized system in the corresponding knowledge domain-when a system no longer produces new cognition, when The members of this system no longer try to find answers to certain questions from the outside, but point all the explanations of the questions to the inside of the system, and the foundation for the birth of gods will take shape.

Therefore, once the system becomes open, when external information can become the "solution" to certain problems in the system, the gods that rely on this system will be immediately shocked and quickly mad in fatal contradictions.

This is something similar to a bug stuck process, or a process in which external pollution is injected into the system to cause a crash.

"So, when the final disobedience occurred, the group's thoughts did not change drastically-because there were only a few'observer' individuals who jumped out of the system, and the information they saw did not immediately affect the entire group," Gao Wen slowly ended his contemplation, looking at the golden dome in front of him, and said, "The'change of thought' is not the main reason in the process of final disobedience. It is not even an effective reason. The real effective reason... is that the **** himself suffered. negative."

"From my personal experience, it's like this," Enya said softly, as if it had nothing to do with herself. "The relationship between thoughts and gods is extremely close, and the two are not just a hotbed and The relationship between'products' is so simple. Even in a sense, the gods themselves are the manifestation and integration of the thoughts-gods are the thoughts, so as long as a certain branch of the thoughts is exposed to specific information outside the system, it is quite Shenming Yu came into contact with this information, and if this information cannot be negated by the logic of the system itself, then...the collapse of the system will inevitably occur."

Speaking of this, the voice from the Golden Dome suddenly stopped. She seemed to be sorting out her fragmented memories. Gawain waited patiently for a few seconds before hearing Enya's voice sound again: "...I I still remember what happened at the last moment, when the dragon's spacecraft broke through the atmosphere and stepped into the area that no one had touched in the age of mythology...Even though I could no longer control anything at that time, even thinking had completely stopped. But that feeling is still deeply imprinted in my memory through the link between divinity and humanity.

"It was a cold and painful tearing feeling, with huge panic after being suddenly thrown from a warm and comfortable environment into a cold and unfamiliar environment, like a baby born, caught off guard from the mother body, facing a sinister external environment ——My divinity has to admit the existence of the starry sky, admit that there is no heaven above the stars, admit that beyond the planets is the vast “outside the rule”, admit that my mighty power is nothing but a grain of dust in the universe Tiny flashes, admitting that oneself is meaningless in the vast space...In a very short time, the mythological system constructed by mortals over millions of years is pierced by the cold laws of reality, the myth cannot be established, and the gods are too. Can't be established."

Enya's voice stopped. Gawain sat opposite her, propped his chin with his hands. After a long period of thinking, he slowly said: "So, if civilization is regarded as an evolving system, So as long as this system develops to a certain stage, the "divine nature" must die out-because the divine nature is destined to be closed loop, it does not match the evolution direction of the entire system, we can only retain the human nature like you at most. ."

"This is the obvious conclusion."

"This is too cruel for the gods," Gawain sighed softly. "It seems that everyone is qualified to survive, but God must die-don't you think this is unfair? Just like you, even yours. The human part is still'alive', and you as a **** are also dead..."

Enya was silent for a few seconds, and said softly: "God can die too, this is the greatest fairness."

Gao Wen's heart was touched, and he couldn't help but say: "Although this may be a bit off topic now, many of our technologies are pursuing immortality for mortals..."

"I know, it's just that even if it's the oldest Silver Empire in the Loren continent today, the civilized history of this season has only gone tens of thousands of years, and for mortals, these tens of thousands of years can be called It is eternal—the immortality that mortals pursue is meaningless in front of astronomical scale, and there is no real eternal immortality in the world,” Enya said in a deep voice, “but on the other hand, it is meaningless in front of astronomical scale. Things still have meaning in the face of mortal individuals, so this is the reason why civilization advances...Look up at the sky, look down at the feet, and never forget one of them, so that civilization has the opportunity to go further."

"What is the relationship between the astronomical scale and the mortal scale..." Gao Wen pondered for a moment and suddenly laughed, "We are obviously discussing practical issues such as the ultimate disaster and ultimate disobedience, but in the end it seems to have studied philosophy. ."

As he spoke, he shook his head, and after finishing his thoughts slightly, he said, "Then we can conclude that civilization, the originally closed loop system, suddenly opened to the outside, leading to the occurrence of the'ultimate disaster', and this'opening' 'Only a small but very'exact' opening is needed. Even if only one or two individuals in the civilized group break through the system blockade, it is possible to achieve the conditions... The essence of this process is not'people take a look outside', It's "God looked out"?"

"It can be understood. It's like piercing an air bag with a needle. The tip of the needle may be small, but for an air bag that is on the verge of its limit, the overall collapse only requires a small breach."

"Then the Institute of Theocracy can finally make a determination," Gao Wen sighed lightly, "We have been thinking about the'sacred disaster' caused by a single **** out of control and the'ultimate disaster' that led to the extinction of civilization. The division between the two, now it seems... the key to all this lies in the specific cause of the collapse of the "closed loop system" of the gods.

"Under the premise that the closed system is not destroyed, the large number of individuals that make up civilization produce continuous and extensive changes in thought and gradually cross the critical point that the system can withstand, thus causing the gods corresponding to the thought to lose control. What this produces is "Divine disaster", we may call it the "first type of transgression".

"Under the premise that the closed system is destroyed, any individual that constitutes civilization-as long as it is an individual within the'ideal trend', has direct and undeniable contact with information outside the system, and the logic within the system cannot deny this contact. , Then this contact will lead to the collapse of those systems established under the closed-loop premise, and since all gods are established under the closed-loop premise, the out-of-control of the gods will inevitably occur at this stage. We should call it …'The second category is out of bounds'."

"Very good summary," Enya's gentle voice came from the Golden Dome. "So far, apart from the lucky ones taken away by the sailors in the ancient times, in all the known history of this world, There has been more than one civilization that has survived the first type of cross-border, but the civilization that survived the second type of cross-border... only Tarrond."

Gao Wen looked at the golden dome in front of him, and said solemnly for a long time: "Yes, so far."

"It's nice to see that you have not been deterred by this cold fact, although I knew from the beginning that people like you would never stop in the face of such difficulties," Enya's voice seemed to bring a smile, then It is mixed with feelings of appreciation and comfort, "Then confirming the margin of the'second type of cross-border', can it help your next plan?"

"It's a great help," Gao Wen nodded immediately. "At least, now we can confirm that launching unmanned probes into space will not cause the'system collapse'-only the intelligent individuals in the thought can complete the cross-border behavior. In other words, only sane individuals are qualified to be'observers', which allows us to do something boldly, but..."

He frowned when he said that, and his expression became a little weird: "Maybe I am stubborn, but I am very curious about one thing now-even if the eyes of the'observer' as a **** jump out of the closed system, the essence When exposed to information outside the system, is such contact really undeniable? The "divine nature" of the gods can still be regarded as false, and that it is a large-scale illusion and deception. Believing that there is some kind of power that has tampered with all the senses and cognition of the observer, and fundamentally denies that the incident of'out of the system' has ever happened..."

"You mean...'sophistry'?" Enya was not surprised by Gao Wen's sophisticated and almost savage question. It seems that she had thought about it herself, "Like burying her head in the soil, she ignores the facts, through The way to deceive oneself refuses to acknowledge the information injected from outside the system in order to maintain the divine self-awareness and logical establishment?"

Gao Wen looked serious: "Is this not enough?"

"For mortal individuals,'self-deception' is a very effective escape method. Sometimes it can even make people survive a desperate situation, but to the gods..." Enya chuckled lightly, as if carrying Deeply self-deprecating, "Gods can't deceive ourselves. We are a huge logical system, and everything we have is based on the process of'cognition-interpretation-feedback', which means that when an information stimulus appears After that, even if our self-will denies it, the feedback triggered by this stimulus...has already happened."

Gao Wen looked at Enya: "An uncontrollable natural reaction?"

A certain voice came from the Golden Dome: "An uncontrollable natural response."

"Then I'm very curious-will you still be subject to this uncontrollable natural reaction?" Gawain asked suddenly and seriously, "Is there any stimulus that will make you suddenly lose control of your will? , Let your instinct deviate from nature again?"

"If my human part is not truly free, I won't be here to talk to you about these topics that cause self-destruction," Enya said in a flat voice, "I know what you are worried about, please rest assured— —What you are facing is the freedom that the Tarrond dragon has acquired at the cost of millions of years of forbearance and the fate of the whole family. If you can’t break the fate of darkness even with such an effort, then this world doesn’t need it. Pursue some hope."

Gao Wen pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly: "...you are right."

Then he exhaled and brought the topic back to the beginning: "I remember that we were discussing those signals that were suddenly extinguished in the starry sky. We talked about two'filter factors' that led to our extremely prosperous universe. It becomes empty, so that apart from the sailors, no other civilizations can see other civilizations breaking through the constraints of the planet. One of them is the out of control of the gods, and the other... is the magic wave.

"Now let's talk about the magic tide.

"What is the essence of the Demon Tide? How did it sweep and reshape the world? The disaster encountered by the Gondor Empire 700 years ago is compared with the'Great Demon Tide' that can truly destroy the world. What is the difference?"

"These questions, can you speak out now?"

There was a period of silence in the incubation room, Enya seemed to be carefully considering what she was going to say next, the slight buzzing of the low-power operation of the ventilation device and the magical device became obvious in this silence. Surrounded like a summer afternoon breeze-until Enya finally broke the silence.

"I know that you have realized that the demonic wave that the Gondor Empire encountered in the past and the real demonic wave are actually two things. You call the former the'little wave' and the latter the'big wave'. , But in fact, the difference between the two is bigger than you think, so that the former can’t actually be regarded as a magic wave at all—it is indeed related to the magic wave, but in essence, it is actually only one failure to form 'Front tremor'.

"As for your perception of the magic wave, I need to correct one thing: you think that the magic wave will change the basic nature of everything in the world, which is wrong.

"The real demonic wave... is what you call the'great demonic wave'. In fact, it will not change the material world at all—in fact, it will not even interact with any physical matter. It is just an invisible wind. It has blown through the entire star."

Gao Wen's eyes widened for an instant, and the huge astonishment even made him lose his usual calmness: "What did you say?! You said that the'Great Demon Tide' will not affect the material world at all? How is this possible?! "

"It's true."

"What is the impact of the Great Demon Tide? What about the doomsday that actually existed again and again?"

"It does not affect the macroscopic world, but the'observer' itself," Enya's voice came from the eggshell calmly, with a kind of coldness that lasted for 1.87 million years, "It shifted The observer’s contact with all the information in the material world makes the observer’s mind and the real world disorderly interact. Its essence is not a storm with a physically destructive nature, but a...mass exile with a coverage reaching the level of celestial bodies.

"So, it is not the world that is destroyed, but the'world in the eyes of the observer.' But if you look at this process from the perspective of the observer, the two are indeed the same thing."
