Chapter 902: Super Turing Machine Universe Body
Li Qi was explaining the Law to Yang Ning.
Yang Ning was almost numb to Li Qi’s cultivation now, but she was still listening very carefully to Li Qi’s teachings.
This was the top Genius in the entire Universe explaining her problems.
Although she had only come this time to accompany the rabbit and relax, it was still an excellent Opportunity to gain such a thing.
Li Qi was unhesitatingly revealing the truth of reality to Yang Ning.
He was revealing the fact that a person could be a ‘Boltzmann Brain’.
If information could appear out of thin air in the Void Realm, then everything could have been born in the last second.
Just like this Universe, information that lacks reality is essentially that illusory; they have no ability to sustain themselves.
They are words on a book; the words themselves are not false, they exist in reality, but the power to write is in someone else’s hands.
However, the Third Grade is actually the same.
The Third Grade is merely a book that can spontaneously generate words, and when this book ‘ends’, all possibilities of the Third Grade return to zero, everything becomes fixed, all sequences of time are locked together, and there is no place for any change, then the book is beyond saving.
These are all secrets that should not be told to Yang Ning; if one’s Dao Heart is not firm, at best their Dao Heart will collapse and their cultivation will fall, and at worst they will give up and become a Demon on the spot.
Yes, after becoming a Demon, one doesn’t have to worry about these things.
However, becoming a Demon doesn't solve all problems, because although becoming a Demon loses all Dao Heart burdens and becomes uninhibited, ‘being able to do anything’ and ‘having done everything’ are ultimately different.
Returning to the original topic, the Universe itself, basic units, basic information, information spread, these layers of nesting lead to increasingly lower efficiency.
To demonstrate this difference, Li Qi even began his own demonstration, using natural itself to show Yang Ning ‘the multiple nesting of information’.
The simplest example is calculating and predicting the trajectory of a thrown stone.
Compared to simulating throwing a stone with virtual computing power in the brain and then calculating its movement, throwing a stone in the natural world is easier and faster.
This is the power of natural.
Performing calculations in the brain, a thinking organ, is one layer behind; therefore, building something like a computer within the brain to perform calculations, which is an additional layer of nesting, will be even slower.
It's like opening a computer in your mind, then opening ‘Minecraft’ on the computer, then building a CPU with redstone technology in ‘Minecraft’, and then using that CPU to calculate a parabola.
Each layer of nesting only brings computational delay, making the calculation more difficult.
Therefore, even if one’s Dao Heart has no burden, the things simulated in one’s own mind cannot compare to this natural world.
In short, a computational speed that surpasses natural phenomena does not exist.
No matter how much you calculate the chaotic System of a thrown stone, force analysis, or parabola, it will never be as convenient as directly throwing a stone.
This is something all high-grade Shamanes can proudly proclaim.
natural itself is the highest level of existence, more advanced than all deductions and calculations.
Therefore, true deduction should abandon the accumulation of logic circuits, abandon any Turing constructions, abandon deduction itself, and simply become one with natural phenomena themselves.
By skipping several or infinite stages of technological innovation, one can leap to the height of natural phenomena themselves.
In this way, for a Great Power, calculation becomes indistinguishable from natural phenomena.
This is the ‘Universe’.
That's right, when calculation itself becomes inseparable from natural phenomena, now, the ‘Universe’ and ‘history’ that everyone perceives appear.
Calculation is natural, and natural is calculation.
This approach completely shattered the space-time structure.
A speed that surpasses natural phenomena is impossible.
At the very moment the Great Powers performed a calculation, at the instant the Universe acted as ‘computational construct and computation itself’, something beyond imagination occurred.
But because it was too far beyond imagination, no one, not even a ‘Third Grade’ as a basic unit, could imagine it.
Even recalling it is impossible.
But it can be observed afterwards.
For example, Li Qi saw that at the moment this event occurred, countless Universes were instantly generated, as if they had always existed from ancient times to the present.
In other words, an unlimited amount of information was generated at that instant, without needing a calculation process or a calculation method; it all just happened.
From the finite, the infinite was born.
But this is normal.
To create the infinite, one does not actually need to be infinite themselves.
If there is a chessboard, merely arranging black and white pieces on a flat chessboard can actually combine into countless patterns.
Simply through non-periodic arrangements of pieces, periodic structures will never appear, and even existences like ‘Conway's Game of Life’ will appear, so infinite patterns will inevitably emerge.
The key is that automatic arrangement is enough; no one needs to control it. natural phenomena do not need control; natural is natural. Their existence is the best description of the four words ‘natural and spontaneous’.
All of this is natural and spontaneous.
Just like this, it can construct a Universe with infinite variations.
This is the ‘Super-Turing Machine’.
This Universe itself is the ‘Super-Turing Machine’ created by the Great Powers.
A ‘Super-Turing Machine’ that avoids self-reference, won't fall into logical nesting, won't fall into infinite recursive loops, has infinite computational speed, breaks space-time limits, and has infinitely vast computing power.
The sole purpose of this ‘Super-Turing Machine’ is to search for the ‘Ultimate Great Dao’.
Whether it proves or disproves, it can provide that final, unique answer. Even if it proves that the Ultimate Great Dao does not exist, that is equivalent to getting the final answer, and one of the Nine Lands Under Heaven will always win.
This is why they maintain the Universe.
The truth of all this was not something a Fifth Grade could accept, but Li Qi still told Yang Ning everything.
Because he believed Yang Ning could handle it.
To be honest, not just Yang Ning, even Shen Shuibi next to her was stunned.
After Li Qi finished speaking, he watched Yang Ning’s face turn mottled with green and red, and her aura constantly shifted.
Shen Shuibi also closed her eyes, and the rabbit fell into confusion.
This was indeed a bit difficult to comprehend.
This was secret knowledge of the Third Grade and even higher levels.
For example, there was a person who, by pure chance one day, obtained a blank book. He was surprised to find that this book was the ‘script of the real world’; as long as he wrote on it, everything written would be realized exactly as it was.
This person was very happy, thinking that with this, he could write a legendary life, so he began to use this book, writing reality on it, guiding everything towards the future he wanted.
Because he was the owner of the book, and the book could Sovereign reality, in other words, he was the Sovereign of reality, able to formulate the Law of all things.
However, just as he excitedly began to reshape reality according to his own wishes, this person suddenly discovered that he was not the only one who could write in the book.
This book seemed to have many other authors who were also writing according to their own wishes, writing all sorts of messy things, simply writing indiscriminately, which made people angry to read.
He thought he was writing his own story, but he found that the work was not written by him alone, but was a collective work of all the people who were writing indiscriminately in the book.
Even what he wrote was completely denied by others, treated as garbled text by others, and his painstaking story was not taken seriously at all.
And he couldn't understand what others wrote; some people wrote in English, or even in alien script, and he couldn't read what the other party wrote.
And another doubt arose in his mind—
That is, perhaps there exists an author who is writing about ‘himself’ writing in this book.
Yes, he himself is part of reality, so other authors can also manipulate him to write in this book, making him write the story they want.
Suppose there is an author A, who starts writing: “Author B wrote the story of Author C.”
Then, Author B and Author C will also become chess pieces, and they will act according to what is written in the book, and A will become the hidden secret behind it.
At this thought, all the authors of the book became restless.
So, they could only start to resist.
Whenever he encountered an article written by someone else, he would either insert it into his own work or simply remove it.
Adding various annotations, or simply painting it white.
But special care must be taken when editing.
If he himself appeared in the story he was editing, that would be bad.
But such a thing will not be clear no matter how long it takes.
If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to just write a story about himself writing this book alone?
So he began to write a new text, directly writing in the book, “In the beginning, only I wrote in this book.”
Because everything written would come true, this concept transcended all physical Laws, so the story written came into existence.
The person who wrote the story was himself, and he himself was the Law.
How could such a thing as oneself writing oneself exist?
From a chronological perspective, this is also very strange, right?
But on the flat surface of the book, chronological order is an insignificant matter.
Anything can happen in the story written on paper.
Since he was clearly threatened in that way, he should first protect himself from the hands of the Law, preventing others from writing him into stories. So, would it be enough to specifically write down such words?
Unfortunately, however, this idea was not unique to him.
Several authors claimed to be the author, and so the same thing happened again and again.
Everyone was ‘the first’.
All the Great Powers, those high and mighty First Grades, were like this.
They all existed ‘at the beginning of the Universe’.
Don't ask why, there is no why. Although they were born after Haotian, when they became First Grade, things were already rewritten, and they were born at the same time as Haotian.
Originally, they were born later, but the moment they became First Grade, they had already become beings born at the same time as the Universe.
So, according to Li Qi, what is happening now is probably a similar phenomenon.
The difference is that the authors are First Grade, and other Mortals are closer to the written words.
But… who says that created things cannot define the creating things?
Furthermore, it is possible for the created side to become the true natural Law.
The Universe itself might also be a dream made by a Great Power, and the Great Power might also be a dream made by the Universe.
There is no ‘main body’ to speak of; everyone is intertwined, just like the authors who got the ‘Book of Reality’. I write you, and you also write me.
And all of this might be a dream dreamed by some dreamer.
Such a cycle is like a word game where words are out of control, without any content or meaning.
But it is precisely this kind of mutual nesting that can form the current格局.
So, as a Mortal, to regard this structure as something that can be computed, and to try to find a basis to determine what position one can occupy within it, wouldn't that be equivalent to idle speculation?
In Yang Ning’s mind, strange deductions were spiraling out of control.
Suddenly, a simulated time machine appeared in her mind.
Pushing it forward into the future, then it moves forward into the future.
Pulling it backward into the past, then it will fly into the past, or rather, retreat.
This depends on the way of thinking.
It is both towards the past and towards the future.
In any case, practical experience is the most important; this is always correct.
The explanation ends here.
Yang Ning reached out and pushed the time machine.
“What about things like time paradoxes?” Yang Ning wondered.
However, there was no time to think about the problem of time paradoxes.
She just reached out, drank the wine in one gulp, and then threw the wine glass in her hand.
The wine glass flew out.
The wine glass flew through the air, then flew out of Mystic Radiance Mountain.
Just then, Li Qi suddenly reached out.
The wine glass, which had already flown far away, was caught by him out of thin air.
Moreover, at this moment, the wine glass was already rusted, as if a long time had passed.
“This… can it actually be caught back?” Yang Ning was stunned.
“I am a Third Grade.” Li Qi smiled: “Rather, I should be the one who is surprised. That last move was truly beautiful. To Breakthrough to this extent with just one lecture, you are far more formidable than I was back then.”
That’s right, Li Qi was indeed surprised, because this was a wine glass ‘thrown into the future’.
According to the plan, in the distant future, this wine glass would accurately hit Li Qi’s head, but that would be at least several thousand years later.
However, this wine glass, thrown into the future, was simply caught in Li Qi’s palm.
“Stronger than you were back then? Saying such things can only deceive children; please don’t say it in front of me.” Yang Ning said, reaching out again, but this time towards Shen Shuibi: “Shui Bi, is this what it feels like?”
Shen Shuibi understood and also reached out, the two sisters holding hands.
Then, the Celestial Pole Golden Elixir Method became perfectly integrated.
Although they were two separate bodies, at that instant, they became like one person, even their Inner World perfectly aligned, directly merging into one without any delay.
But then again.
The two of them were born from the same womb, they were companion Sun and Moon Essence, and they cultivated the exact same cultivation method. It was no problem to say they had a spiritual connection.
Moreover… Shen Shuibi’s Fourth Grade Dao Foundation was the mastery of ‘infinite fractals’ in space.
Yang Ning’s, on the other hand, was time.
And the Celestial Pole Golden Elixir Method… itself was related to space-time.
When the two of them held hands, Li Qi clearly felt the illusory space-time around them shatter.
