Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 967

Such gloom did not affect the people on both sides of the desk. Chen Yan brewed the tea that the counterfeit did not know where he got it.

"Probably so."

Chen Yan told Lindsay about his experience without reservation. In fact, there is nothing to hide about these experiences. Chen Yan and Lindsay have no conflicting interests, and the two are more inclined to cooperate.

Lindsay took a sip of tea, and as the tea flowed down his throat, his throat glowed, and the tea "dissociated" under Chen Yan's clear gaze, becoming...a data block? !
"I once got stuck in a bug in this world under very unexpected circumstances."

Lindsay blinked and couldn't help grinning:

"This world is always full of coincidences. In fact, they are all caused by random variables. The interaction of countless random variables produces countless results, and there is always one that leads to me becoming what I am now."

Chen Yan was a little anxious. Although he restrained himself, he still leaked something:
"So, is the scene I saw really BIOS?"

Lindsay gave the exact answer:

"No."

Chen Yan asked:
"what is that?"

Lindsay answered simply:
"It's some redundant data that used to exist in the BIOS. These data overflowed because the BIOS ran for too long and accumulated too much data, so we can see it-don't argue with me, although we say that place is BIOS, but it is still different from the real computer BIOS. It does not need to be upgraded with patches. There is an imperfect self-upgrade mechanism there, so the data is constantly accumulating—the functions and algorithms of the BIOS are constantly running. And self-improvement.

These data are related to you, or related to you in the BIOS, so they will be seen by you-this situation is based on a special mechanism in the BIOS-rules, there are some completely incomprehensible in the BIOS Change the rules with any flexible principle, that is the basis for BIOS to run on cold hardware. "

Chen Yan had a whim:

"The appearance of these redundant data... Is the code shit mountain overflowing?"

Lindsay laughed out loud:

"It's not going to overflow! It's perfectly fine to overflow a little!"

He put away his smile, and the expression on his face became a little dull, perhaps because of the slight changes in his temperament, so Chen Yan felt a sense of seriousness.

With a melodious voice, he looked out of the window, his eyes wandering to nowhere:
"Maybe it's because the BIOS takes too long to run, or maybe it's because the capacity of the BIOS itself is too small. In short, the data in the BIOS is full. Although the code shit mountain doesn't collapse because of the powerful hardware, something will always go wrong.

The screens you see are the data overflowing from the BIOS due to the code shit mountain that caused it to run poorly. "

Chen Yan got some answers, but these answers seemed useless.

Chen Yan was not reconciled:
"People in our world really can't see the real scene in the BIOS?"

Lindsay said:

"Incorrect.

We can see that there is a bug and a price to pay, such as me. "

As he spoke, he began to undress.

Before Chen Yan could stop it in the future, he saw Lindsay's glowing chest under the windbreaker——

It is actually inaccurate to say "glow", because Lindsay actually has no chest - where his chest was originally a "small starry sky", this starry sky has no boundaries, and there are countless stars shining in it When the light is on, the light is as dim as the light in the real universe, and it has been swallowed by the darkness before it is emitted.

"In order to continue to [live], I stopped being a human being."

Lindsay spoke very seriously, and Chen Yan listened more seriously.

"The BUG I got stuck on is called [Abstraction], which is one of the rules of the BIOS.

I have been dead for too long in this world, and I have long since lost my physical body. Therefore, in order to continue to exist in this world, I [abstracted] everything about myself, and I have this starry sky. "

Listening to his words, Chen Yan had an incredible thought in his head:
"This starry sky... also represents some kind of abstract concept?"

This question sounds like complete nonsense.

Lindsay has a complicated expression:

"It stands to reason that our world is a concrete world, and almost everything in our world is material—except for superhuman powers.

That is to say, our world cannot be abstracted except by supernatural powers. "

Lindsay explained the principle, so Chen Yan could understand.

Chen Yan pointed at his chest:

"Is this considered extraordinary power?"

Lindsay replied in a positive tone:
"Extraordinary power comes from unknown knowledge, unknown knowledge comes from a deeper world, [abstraction] also comes from a deeper world, do you think this is extraordinary power?"

Of course it counts.

In other words, this thing... the starry sky in Lindsay's chest is an abstract thing——

The starry sky in Lindsay's chest comes from extraordinary power, and the extraordinary power comes from unknown knowledge in the deeper world, which means that [the starry sky in Lindsay's chest] is an abstract thing.

"The starry sky... or [universe], if this scene is abstract, what does it represent, in fact, [a complete world]?"

Lindsay leads:
"You can be bolder."

Chen Yan's complexion gradually turned ugly:

"It means... everyone has a complete world in their body?"

Lindsay paused before saying:
"Don't be too bold."

Chen Yan became angry from embarrassment:
"Just tell me directly!"

Lindsay didn't tease him either, saying:

"For an abstract thing, maybe everyone's interpretation is different, but everyone's interpretation mostly has some attribute of the real correct answer."

These scholars always like to say these twists and turns, which makes people irritated.

"I mean, you guessed half right—I abstracted the specific meaning of the chest, which is [a person can carry the weight of the whole world]."

Chen Yan didn't understand how Lindsay interpreted this specific meaning at all.

Lindsay learned about Chen Yan's thoughts from Chen Yan's silence, so she explained to him:
"I don't understand, do you? Actually, I don't understand either, but the meaning I interpreted is this-[Abstraction] tells me that the abstract events that happened to me represent this meaning."

Chen Yan repeated:
“[One person can carry the weight of the whole world].”

Lindsay nodded, did not speak, and took a sip of tea.

When the tea enters the throat, it disintegrates at the apex of the universe, turning into countless water molecules invisible to the naked eye, and falling to the various planets in the universe.

"The water molecules in the tea water will moisten the soil of the planet, and the minerals in the tea water will become part of the planet, but I don't think life will be born on these planets, because, as a hardware, I can't bear the calculation of life at all.

If the vitality of a person is to carry the free evolution of the entire world, how strong should such vitality be?
Let's assume that there is such a person—a normal person cannot have a strong vitality, so he must not be a normal person, but a brain-machine person. He carries a world on his body, and his life is the calculation that this world needs to consume. Power, everything in this world operates—rules act on people, and people have free thoughts like everyone in the world we live in. These people with free thoughts gave birth to various ideas, all kinds of logic, all kinds of academics, All kinds of doctrines... These free thoughts operate according to complex logic, and they undergo logical transformations according to changes in the world.

How many such people are there in our world?What kind of result will the free will produced by each person collide with each other?What are the consequences for others when these results are reflected on others?What kind of ideas will these results lead to?

Our society is complicated. Mr. Chen, our world is very complicated, so complicated that computer systems can’t simulate it at all—even if we simulate it by force, we can’t make variables fair, let alone have a correct definition of constants. Because most of the constants are refuted, and the conclusions that people get from observing the world from a certain angle are one-sided. "

Lin Sai blinked at Chen Yan, and Chen Yan immediately understood that Lin Sai was referring to the [Strike Simulator] he made earlier.

Chen Yan groaned and said some words that seemed irrelevant to him:
“The term [either black or white] is inherently wrong, because even if a thing is not black, it cannot necessarily be white. The opposite of [black] is not [white], but [not black] .”

Lindsay nodded and said in an appreciative tone:
"Yes, there is no absolute error, just as the words you left say, you have to look at the problem from a dialectical point of view-therefore, the simulation you have made is one-sided, but not completely wrong, You have simulated a possibility, which has a probability of occurrence, but due to the complexity of the social system, most of your variables are one-sided, so it is impossible to simulate the truly possible results."

He paused, and his tone changed:
"But that's not the case with BIOS, and that's not the case with the world that's based on it—our world isn't like that.

From the BIOS to the deeper world, and from the countless deeper worlds to the world we live in, everything operates according to certain established rules.

The extraordinary society calls these rules [unknown knowledge], scientists in this world summarize them as [mathematical laws], and thinkers define them as [philosophical principles]. They are actually the same thing. "

Chen Yan's vision broadened, and he was unable to speak for a while because he had to digest the knowledge in Lindsay's mouth.

Lindsay looked at Chen Yan:

"Back to the topic just now——

In fact, I am also very puzzled, I don't know what happened to me.

Therefore, I also want to look at the BIOS again, take a look, and calculate, according to the underlying rules of the BIOS, what will happen in the world we live in. "

Chen Yan asked:

"Can't [Abstraction] tell you the answer?"

Lindsay nodded:

“[Abstraction] gives me the ability to abstract things in a practical sense.

The [present world] is concrete, and the [unknown knowledge] from the deeper world is abstract.

I can control specific things to [abstract], but I cannot control the specific meanings represented by abstract things—the [concrete meaning] corresponding to [abstract things] is defined by the variables generated by the interweaving of the underlying rules of the BIOS. It has nothing to do with [Abstract] ability.

When I abstract myself, I get this lifeless starry sky.

These starry skies store my lifelong knowledge, and I can even use that knowledge to create a USB interface. As long as I plug in the USB flash drive, I can transfer knowledge to the present world.

But that's all, my vitality cannot be used to calculate any free life, so the abstraction ends here. "

Lindsay puts an emphasis on the word "stop here."

"The me I am today only represents [living knowledge] in a certain sense."

【Living knowledge】.

Chen Yan said thoughtfully:

"[Living knowledge] is almost a description between abstract and concrete, it can be translated into [knowledge with free will], or [knowledge capable of multiplication and self-improvement], in any case, it is for a Whole individual—an adjective for an individual with subjective consciousness.”

Just so happens to be in the exact same state as Lindsay.

Lindsay affirmed his claim:
"I think so too."

Immediately afterwards, he said something that seemed to be an exclamation for no reason:
"I think maybe that's what the world has given me."

Now that Lindsay has talked about the content of metaphysics, the topic is not serious, and Chen Yan is no longer tense. He leans on the boss chair, and his thoughts diverge:
"You mean, [the world] is made of autonomous consciousness?"

Talking about these pure speculations, Lindsay is obviously relaxed:
"I don't think so. If [the world] has self-awareness, then all the underlying rules of this world should not be as cold as they are now-law is also a kind of rule. Law is ruthless, but how can self-consciousness have no emotion? ?Even if the emotion is evil, it should not be absent at all.

But if [the world] has no self-awareness, how to explain the emergence of those underlying rules?The underlying rules have made the world what it is now, and they are obviously driving humans forward. Even if humans have strong subjective initiative, without those underlying rules to constrain the evolution of things, it is impossible for humans to create such a huge civilization.

【World】Is there any self-awareness?I don't think that's a question at all, because it's an impossible question to answer. "

Chen Yan joked:
"So, if you want to explore related issues, your research direction should not be electronic biology, but logic and philosophy."

Lindsay said in a "this is really bad" tone:

"Yes."

He added:

"In addition, [abstraction] is not something that can be done casually. I have tried it before, and [abstraction] can only be produced on things that I am very familiar with - I am familiar with my body structure, and even know that every part of my body The data quantified by physiological functions, so [abstraction] proceeded naturally and smoothly.

If I want to abstract something and restore its real appearance in the deeper world, or even the BIOS, I must know enough about this thing. "
