Chapter 1010: The Crossroads to Infinity (Part )
Chadwick had already been listening to her like crazy. The guest spoke so fast that he could not breathe, and he had no time to think. However, when she said this, the guest suddenly stopped. Her wooden face did not reveal her mood, only the fingers tapping the table gently expressed her contemplation.

"It's not that I don't want to tell you about this part of the theory, but it's really difficult. Not only is it impossible to explain it in a straightforward and simple way using natural language, many definitions even go beyond our current common mathematical language, so the part I can explain to you is bound to be far-fetched, quite crude and imprecise, just to let you understand its general intention in a short time: there is such an omnipotent machine, which can be divided into six levels in theory. You may wonder how a machine that is conceptually omnipotent can be divided into levels, so I will try to use some examples that are closer to us to briefly explain: Now you want to change an event in the past, you can choose to travel through time and go back to a certain node in our history to eliminate a certain person, a machine that can exhaust the physical manifestation force is enough to do this for you; but if someone with a higher-level machine wants to oppose your change - Chad, please note that the "higher level" I mean here is that it can be in a specified level. The model exhausts the mathematical constructive power. This more advanced machine will completely reconstruct history, splitting the protected historical line separately, or directly overlaying it on the history of the previous machine; due to the different information densities they manipulate, it is difficult for the owner of the first machine to even detect the existence of the second machine, because the history he has experienced, or the physical rules of the entire universe, are different. From a practical point of view, the user of the first machine may be surprised to find that no matter how hard he tries to change the past, history will still adjust the final result back in a variety of fatalistic ways. This is not enough for him to infer the existence of the second machine. He can only observe the convergence phenomenon of history downstream. The law of causality has long been reversed by the second machine - using the language of mathematics, we roughly correspond it to countable infinity and uncountable infinity, and these two types of machines are called "primary machine" and "secondary machine" respectively. "

"Is this just the entry level? Then what is level three?"

"This will involve a very specific operational problem, which needs to be explained in comparison with the Level 2 machine. The Level 2 machine we mentioned earlier is more difficult to use than the Level 1 machine. Due to its high expressiveness, it can easily provide countless solutions to ambiguous instructions, and perhaps only a few of them really meet your needs. If you are not able to describe your requirements with extreme precision and care, almost as rigorously as proving an axiom, you will find that this machine can always find a way to misinterpret you - unlike the Level 1 machine, which often tampers with your will before you notice, the Level 2 machine, due to its higher density of coverage of the possibility of things, will give you solutions you have never imagined, and even turn you into something unimaginable. Things. For example, Chad, if you want endless wealth, the first-level machine may make you unable to count, while the second-level machine may make you watch yourself become a thinking and breathing money-printing machine. From this example, you can see that for an operator who lacks sufficient descriptive power, the second-level machine is not only not more convenient than the first-level machine, but is much more dangerous. The danger I mentioned above is usually called "model separation", but if you can use it properly, this feature can also be used as a means of attack, then it is called "narrative strike" or "miracle erasure" - in response to the special defects of this second-level machine, the third-level machine has improved the problem of "model separation" caused by the machine as much as possible, so it is also called "unable to Crossable Wishing Machine'; The second-level machine is like a cruise ship, allowing us to explore and sail freely on the ocean of infinite second-level matters, and randomly pick up matters that we can reach, while the third-level machine is just the opposite, a huge cover that encloses a specific sea area - I may say that its actual performance is inferior to that of the second-level machine, but this is not the case. There is a natural limit to the scope of the second-level machine's expressive power, which is what I call mathematical construction power - allowing you to realize everything within this model, but the third-level machine exhausts the expressive power of mathematics, so it allows you to peek outside the model - please note that it is just a peek, not reaching matters outside the model - the significance of this peek is to enable you It can appropriately delimit the scope and strength of the entire model, thereby limiting the corresponding expressive power and avoiding the "model separation" that occurs when using the second-level machine. This feature gives it a signature instruction function, which is to create review. Because it takes both internal and external factors into consideration, you can use the third-level machine to review matters below the third level, such as the assignment of narrative language, narrative identity, narrative position, narrative subject, narrative balance... Assuming that the first two machines really exist in this universe and are used arbitrarily, and the universe itself is not destroyed, it is all the credit of the machines above the third level - they screen and check by delimiting the model, and in our eyes, this is like a review from the universe. "

By this time, Chadwick had forgotten his fear, and even common sense. He kept rubbing his throat with his hands, suppressing the urge to cough from the cold air, so as not to miss something the guest said. "I'm one of the people in our group who has been exposed to more mathematics, Li," he said calmly when the guest paused, "but it's still hard to understand what you're saying."

"Excuse me, Chad, but I felt the same way when I first saw this information. It's absurd, not entirely because of the mathematical concepts, but because it goes against our basic common sense and intuition. And as far as we know, the first machine doesn't even exist in the world."

"Since you've described it to this extent, it would be tactless for me to emphasize common sense. I'm not that conservative. What is a level 4 machine?"

"This step is already too difficult for me, Chad. If you insist on me finding a word to define it, I would say that it is the embodiment of model theory - the problem is no longer the inside and outside of the model, but what kind of model you have chosen. At this point, I can hardly give you a symbolic infinite task that can distinguish it from lower-level machines - even if it really exists, we as internal observers cannot tell it at all. In theory, this machine must be ascended based on the third-level machine, and completely fill in all the information of a universe containing infinite matters - the universe I am here is not physical, but mathematical, the set of all sets, in order to avoid paradoxes we call it 'true class', which includes all models. If it is true, it should allow you to realize self-reference and self-selection of mathematical axiom systems. Of course, in terms of the most practical effect, the universe created by it should not be destroyed by machines of level three and below."

“The von Neumann universe,” Chadwick said. “The universe of all information. The universe of everything.”

"That's probably the closest analogy we can find."

"But, there are five and six?"

"Maybe there are no five or six... We have gone too far on the road of hypothesis. You see, although we have pointed out infinity in theory, in reality we rarely need to use numbers beyond trillion. And even if we are talking about the 'universal machine', the fifth-level machine only exists in the width of hypothesis. It is an extension of the width of the fourth-level machine or the third-level machine - creating a new encyclopedia outside the encyclopedia, which is not valid from our existing logic. You can only infer the potential of its existence based on the characteristics of the fourth-level machine, because the fourth-level machine creates a new encyclopedia with existing elements; there are several characteristic definitions that are considered to be the signs of the fifth-level wish, But let's not talk about it here. And the sixth level, Chad, the most interesting thing is this: the sixth level machine cannot be upgraded from a lower level machine in concept. If it has any possibility of existence, it can only exist before any such machine exists. It must have the highest priority in internal structure calculation and the largest accumulation, which is contradictory to the existence of the fifth level wishing machine. Therefore, it seems that only one of the fifth and sixth level machines can exist. You can't say that the sixth level machine has any greater function than the fifth level machine, unless it creates an absolute doomsday and generates infinite model detachment force. "

"This is really a bit too difficult to understand." Chadwick said, "Can you try to help me find a corresponding mathematical concept?"

The guest looked up at the chandelier. "Destroy everything," she said.

Chadwick laughed for no apparent reason. After a while, he said, "This is really interesting." Then there was a moment of trance-like silence. "Do you mind if I tell Anthony and the others about this?" he asked abruptly, "about your story and this theory?"

"I'm telling you, Chad, and I'm telling everyone. I'll leave it up to you to decide who has the right to know, but I want you to follow an important safety rule: Don't put this information on paper or electronically. You have to talk to the person in person."

"I agree."

"Then let's get back to my story - yes, I know what you're laughing at. I can't believe that after wandering around such a vast and infinite world, I have to come back to listen to my story. After I explained the concept of this universal machine, I think you can understand that even the first-level machine can play a role far beyond my actual needs. In theory, they can allow the dead to be resurrected, time to be reversed, and all tragedies to disappear... Not to mention that all I want is an answer."

"Is that really all you want, Lee? After all the hard work you've put in?"

"What do you think I want?"

Chadwick looked at her tolerantly, almost with pity: "You're just too sad, Lee."

The guest chuckled. "I said the same thing to someone a month ago, Chad. I think I was somewhat influenced by you in my comforting comments. But I have to say that this is different. I was so deeply immersed in this matter that I eventually forgot my grief and fell into an obsession with the paranormal and solving problems - I, the me in front of you, just need answers."

Chadwick blinked blankly, not understanding the last emphasis.

"But did you really build a machine like that?"

"Of course not, Chad. Unfortunately, our reality is poor, and it is impossible to build such a machine from the premise. However, the reason why the email explained it to me in detail was because the sender wanted me to believe it, to announce to me that someone had successfully built it, and it could be used by anyone who could contact it. The email provided me with another blueprint, which was also extremely complex in structure, with extremely demanding materials, and many absurd and illegal processes... This blueprint was designed to build a special sending device, or door, that could send a signal detected by a specific machine, so that I could call on the ready-made Wan There is a machine. I am sorry that I cannot go into the details of the blueprint, but I can tell you that it was completely beyond my capabilities at the time: academic ability, knowledge, connections, financial resources... Financial resources seem to be the smallest problem, but in fact, it is the first threshold. As you know, my older brother is the designated heir to the family's main property, and although I have some of my own property, it is far from enough to complete such an amazing project. The person who sent me this email seemed to be testing me intentionally, to see if I would accept the challenge and complete this difficult problem... I accepted it. There were some signs that made me not regard it as some kind of crazy joke, but at the same time it made me "I thought about it all the time during the last few days of that vacation. I had to accept it, but I also had to consider the intention behind it. Whoever sent me the email, even if it was just for some insane and absurd purpose, would have to have a very high level of academic ability and technical experience to have fabricated such a complex theory and have it appear in my private mailbox without anyone noticing. This person might also have a way to monitor my subsequent behavior. I didn't know at the time exactly how much this monitoring would be, but I had to be very careful... My sister had died in a very strange way, and this might be just the beginning. I had to take precautions. Moreover, even in my mental state at the time, I had to admit that 'spending my life's efforts to build a transmitter to the universal machine' was an unwise idea in all senses. I didn't think that Mr. Anthony Kent, who was prone to obsession and had a serious lack of self-defense, was suitable to be involved. If I was determined to follow the method provided by this anonymous email - at least, to take a tentative step down this path - I had to place him at a relatively safe distance and avoid him from the sight of the sender as much as possible."

"So far, I still think that this measure is necessary. It can be said that it is one of the most accurate predictions I could make at that stage. Chad, I see that you don't agree with it, but please listen to me for a while. At the end of this story, you will find out how the necessity I mentioned is reflected. In short, you all know what happened later. In the end, I left school and also left the house where I lived in my hometown. I will try to make a transmitter according to the instructions of the blueprint. But here I must admit that I didn't fully understand it at that time. Neither my energy nor my knowledge allowed me to study it thoroughly in such a short time."

"But you decided to do it anyway?" Chadwick said, having a hard time suppressing the smile that crept into his lips.

"Feel free to criticize me, Chad. It's really hard for me to find excuses for this. However, in order to make this matter seem at least reasonable, I have to risk breaking my promise of confidentiality - I will never reveal any details of the machine blueprint to you. In order to make you understand why I have wasted several years on this matter, I still have to describe it in a very general way: please don't imagine it as a very clear and simple design drawing. In fact, it is a huge database containing tens of thousands of basic drawings, calculation formulas and operating instructions. By breaking through these drawings one by one, I need to manufacture more than a thousand independent components in the correct order and stage, and then combine them into a complete transmitter under specific conditions. There are a lot of components that require materials that cannot be found in the natural environment of our planet. Even if the substitutes that barely meet the requirements of the indicators must be synthesized in a special factory - the premise is that I have enough funds and find a country with sufficiently relaxed laws."

"You can't do this. I don't mean to question your ability, Lee, but this is too difficult."

"This is too difficult for any of us. To fully build this machine, the resources consumed may be enough to drain our planet... I am not so conceited. If I say that I have made up my mind at that time to devote my entire life to such a task of fishing in the water, then I am really crazy. I am afraid that I must first try to conquer the entire world and set up a government that operates specifically for my needs before I can build the machine most efficiently - no, of course this is impossible. But I still don't give up. This mysterious sender is challenging me. Chad, you know that the reason why I met Anthony was because of the game puzzle he posted on the Internet..."

"You two are made for each other," Chadwick said, shaking his head.

"Whether this person is trying to embarrass me or not, I have admitted that I cannot completely solve this puzzle, but at least I can verify its authenticity: I decided to make one of the components. I will use all my talents and resources to make just this one component to see if it really has the function. Then I will stop and look for clues about my sister elsewhere."

"Can……"

"But how do I verify whether a component is functional? That's a good question, Chad, because the functions of these components are all in the appendix of the design drawings. The functions of some components must be reflected in the complete machine, while others can operate independently. The challenge target I finally chose is such a component: at first glance, it seems relatively simple among thousands of options, just a little bit away from the boundary that I can barely reach, but its function is unique enough for me to verify whether this blueprint is made up."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

“Can you tell me what that function is?”

"It creates an electromagnetic field of variable frequency. People who are exposed to it over a long period of time will experience increased frequency and duration of their dreams. And, if the blueprints aren't lying, they will be very aware that they are dreaming."

"That does sound interesting."

"It means more than you think, Chad! You still can't understand what direction this independent component will lead things to, just like me at that time. I chose it at that time, not only for operational considerations, but also because this function attracted me to some extent. Even the most gifted people need at least three or four hours of sleep every day, but if you can continue to think in your dreams... This first attempt took me more than a year and most of my personal assets. Naturally, this kind of project is not something I can complete independently. It is not easy to find and contact experts in related fields. Fortunately, it is not difficult to arouse their interest because I took the risk of showing them part of the drawings in my hand. In my experience, few people are willing to let go after reading them. I got several very powerful experts in the field and tried my best to convince one or two important investors, which alleviated my financial difficulties..."

"You should have come to me. Although I can't help you technically, I do have some connections."

"Chad, the reason I didn't look for you is the same as why I didn't look for Anthony. If preventive measures are not implemented to the end, then there is no point. Besides, financial operation is not the biggest problem after all... This is an area I am more familiar with, but I have difficulty in both materials science and engineering. Not only me, but also the experts I found seemed extremely powerless in front of the calculation equations attached to the drawings. We are like blind people walking in a maze. We can only move forward by groping the walls around us at every step, and we have no ability to judge whether the general direction is correct. The pitiful result I finally got was the only finished product that stood out from hundreds of failed products that could identify errors. It was also proved that it could not achieve the effect on the design drawings at all. I failed completely, and what was even more frustrating was that the whole team couldn't even find out where the problem was - we didn't have the ability to detect it at the time, Chad, but now I think carefully about the whole project, the most likely error was in a composite material used to adjust the waveform. Due to the accuracy of the measurement, we failed to correctly adjust the corresponding composite structure according to the characteristics of the substitute, resulting in it not achieving the expected effect."

"You can understand it now? After all this time?"

“People always improve with challenges.”

Chadwick frowned at such an inspiring but unreasonable answer, but just took a sip of beer in silence and motioned the guest to continue.

"If I had extra funds at that time, I might have tried it again one or two times. Unfortunately, this project that has not produced any results for a long time is really unsustainable for me. My investors have lost confidence and have given me advice in a tactful way. Maybe it's time to withdraw? Time to go back to the house where my sister died and continue to study those picture albums? On the day when I finally decided to bear the failure, I walked into the calibration laboratory early, wanting to confirm the news one last time before announcing it to everyone. But in the center of the test bench, I found that there was an extra thing there. I didn't recognize that thing, and I was very sure that it was not a product of the laboratory plan, so I retrieved the surveillance and interviewed all the people who could enter and leave the laboratory at that time. No one knew the origin of that thing, but I figured out its nature... It was the composite material that I lacked at the time. It was not a barely usable substitute, but the original version mentioned in the design drawings. Although I call it "material" according to the habit of the drawings, you might as well imagine it as a highly complex control chip. With this thing, the dilemma I encountered at the time was solved."

"There is no need to elaborate on the various investigations and tracking actions I conducted at the time. The final conclusion drawn from many signs is that such a thing could only have been given to me by the sender of the anonymous email. Just as I worried at the beginning, this mysterious person has been paying attention to my progress in some way. It knows exactly what I am doing and which step I am stuck at. It can even predict that I will walk into the laboratory alone that morning... But why did it do this? Since it can send ready-made materials to me, it is enough to show that it does not need my help to complete this machine. At that time - please note that it was at that time, in my opinion, there was only one answer that made sense, that is, the sender did not want to let this challenge end. Maybe it also thought that the question it posed was unfair, or maybe it simply wanted to test my perseverance and see at what point I would give up. And when I really gave up, it suddenly jumped out from behind the scenes and showed me its existence and power. It used a small help to ask me: this challenge must continue."
