Chapter 1481 Closed Loop

Latest URL: To be honest, when I heard Jenny say that the so-called "unified mind field" is like the "reverse state" of the anti-god barrier, the first thought that popped up in Gawain's mind was - anti-god Isn't the sexual barrier in turn a divine barrier?

But in the next second, he squeezed the sentence that he almost blurted out in his bronchus—of course, the "reversal" that Jenny said could not be such a simple literal meaning. It can't be some kind of divine barrier, the principle is like turning a potato over and it won't turn into dried beans...

"Cough cough," Gao Wen coughed twice, maintaining a majestic and steady expression on his face, "Let me explain in detail, starting from the first principles."

"Yes," Jenny nodded immediately. She picked up the documents on the table, found some of them and pointed them to Gao Wen, "This is the original blueprint sent to us by the Nuoyi people. After the annotations, the device was readjusted according to the characteristics of the nervous system of the Loren intelligent race—in fact, we did not fully understand how this 'unified mind field' system works, because the Nuoi people obviously have the same relationship with us. Different neural structures, Rebecca and I only analyzed the overall structure of this system, and it may have a certain connection with our neural network and anti-theistic barrier...

"As we all know, the principle of the anti-divinity barrier is based on the 'chaos thought trend', which connects a huge number of mortal minds through the neural network, and these minds will form a powerful chaotic thought trend at the 'bottom' of the neural network, or 'chaos thought trend'. Non-directional thought trend', this kind of thought trend is extremely powerful and can hardly be disturbed by external factors, so we export and release it as a field, and make an 'anti-divine barrier' that can isolate the spiritual pollution of gods, and the barrier of this kind The efficacy has been proven in practice..."

Gao Wen nodded slightly: "Back then, Mirmina, the goddess of magic, also used the power of the 'non-directional thought trend' to 'wash away' her divinity by sinking herself into the bottom layer of the neural network... But what does this have to do with resisting the tide?"

"This is a key issue that we have been ignoring—or subconsciously avoiding when we are looking for ways to resist the evil tide." Jenny met Gawain's gaze. "The gods themselves... are not affected by the evil tide. of."

"The god itself?" Gawain was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly came to his senses - just as Janney said, the god itself is indeed not affected by the magic tide!

Although mortals will be unconditionally killed in the face of the magic tide, and the demise of mortals will lead to the gradual weakening and demise of the gods, but in fact, the magic tide cannot directly affect the gods - gods do not exist "observer effect" out of control" problem!

In fact, not only that, gods who are strong enough to a certain level can not only be immune to the influence of the demonic tide, but they can also protect mortals in the world to protect them from the demonic tide, and this is not unheard of, Gao Wen knows The most typical example of this is the former Tarrond - the kingdom of dragons has experienced the baptism of demon tides in the past 1.87 million years,

But in fact, the giant dragon did not find a technical means to fight against the evil tide. The reason why they survived... is because the dragon god Enya linked himself to the great shield of Tarrond.

In addition to the kingdom of dragons, there were groups of people who successfully "resisted" the demonic tide in other old civilizations in this world. Back then, Gao Wen had discussed this issue with Enya and other dragons—those who succeeded The groups that "resist" the demonic tide rely on nothing more than the protection of the gods.

When the tide of evil comes, all beings will give their whole body and mind to the control of the gods, so as to avoid being swallowed out of control by the observer effect.

This way, the Dragon Clan knows it, Gao Wen knows it, and those scholars who study fighting against the evil tide...in fact, they also know it.

But they can't go.

Because this is a dead end, and it is destined to drink poison to quench thirst—the prerequisite for relying on the gods to fight against the tide of magic is to give up "adulthood", to completely lock the spiritual seal between the gods and mortals, and to make the gods so powerful that they are far above the world. The degree of civilization, only in this way can the entire civilization be placed under the protection of the gods. The dragons did this, so they were locked in the cradle of eternity for 1.87 million years, while other civilizations that were not as good as the dragons ended up even more miserable— —

The gods during the demon tide became extremely powerful, and the spiritual stamp was also strengthened to an unbelievable level, so that as soon as the demon tide ended, the gods almost immediately fell into a state of being on the verge of losing control, and those ordinary civilizations did not have the experience of dragons , without the power of the dragon clan, and without enough luck, they had no time to build their own "Cradle of Eternity", and they all disappeared when the black trap arrived.

This is also in line with Siren's observations and records of terrestrial civilizations. They have recorded that more than one terrestrial civilization has survived the magic tide, but those civilizations that seem to have survived have not come to the end, often after the magic tide ends. Soon, they inexplicably entered into extinction... It is precisely because this process of extinction is so weird and rapid that the sea-monsters call this "sudden death of civilization" phenomenon "black trap", which means a sudden appearance in the endless ocean. black trap.

So this seems to buy time, but in fact it blocks all possibilities. The alliance will not take the initiative to step into a black trap, so from the beginning, everyone, including Gao Wen, never started The direction of the "God" has considered fighting against the demon tide, and this... just happened to be a blind spot in their thinking.

"Actually, we are only short of 'why'." After the blind spot disappeared, Gao Wen quickly had an idea, and he finally gradually realized, "The gods are not affected by the magic tide...why are the gods not affected by the magic tide? "

"Yes, that's what we're thinking about too," Jenny nodded lightly, "Rebecca and I can't sum up all the principles now, but we suspect...all of this is still related to the observer effect. "

It was as if a ray of sunlight suddenly pierced through the thick haze, and a bolt of lightning exploded in the thick clouds, and a ball of threads that had always been chaotic in Gao Wen's mind suddenly disintegrated. He seemed to have grasped the key to the problem: " The essence of the magic tide is the out-of-control observer effect under macroscopic conditions, and the essence of the gods is the product of the trend of thought—and this so-called 'product of the trend of thought' is actually a kind of 'observer effect'!"

Rebecca next to him nodded immediately: "Yes, gods are also the product of the observer effect. According to the latest theory, the 'trend of thought' is essentially a group-based, orderly observation that can affect the macroscopic world." org effect..."

"Wait, then there is a problem," Gao Wen suddenly felt that something was wrong, "If the gods are the product of the observer effect, then they should be more affected by the magic tide, after all, what the magic tide is doing is' The observer effect is out of control'... But why are the gods not affected by the magic tide?"

"We can't understand this problem either," Jenny shook her head, "but both Rebecca and I believe that this problem should be the most critical part of the Nuoyi people's 'unified mind field' system, but no one can understand it." To explain why the gods who are the product of the observer effect are not affected by the out-of-control observer effect, we even asked the senior advisers of the Theocracy Council, and they were also very confused about this... Ms. Enya also said that she always This question has never been thought about for more than 1.8 million years."

"Of course they didn't think about this. Before leaving the position of gods, the gods' knowledge of the world was limited. Their so-called omniscience was actually limited by their information..." Gawain waved his hand, but what he just said Halfway through, he suddenly stopped, and his expression became a little exciting, "Wait, I seem to understand what's going on..."

"Ah?" Rebecca and Jenny looked at each other subconsciously, and they said in unison, "What did you think of?"

"It's a closed loop of information!" Gao Wen's tone was a little excited, and even his breathing became rapid. A problem that blocked his thinking suddenly became clear, which even almost broke the majesty of his ancestors that he had managed so hard to get up to now, "The gods are The classic model of information closed loop, although they are the product of the observer effect, but in a sense, this 'observer effect' is not completely based on the real world, but a considerable part is based on 'internal evidence' and 'self-consistency' , is a 'self explanatory' process!

"Do you understand? Gods are not born from nature, but mortal believers first created a self-closed and internally consistent belief system, and then 'created' a god within this system, all sects in the world None of the "doctrines" can jump out of this structure-and this kind of information structure of "self-explanation", "closed information loop", and "internal self-consistency" has caused the gods to not be affected by the observer effect at all-because they basis of existence, involving no, or very little, observation of the real world!"

Listening to Gao Wen's explanation, Jenny and Rebecca looked at each other in dismay, and their faces showed shocking expressions almost at the same time. Obviously, this new set of conjectures has greatly touched all their theoretical deduction so far, and even vaguely filled in. They are the last blind spot of the Noi people's "unified mind field" system.

And Gao Wen didn't stop thinking after he finished speaking, his mind was still running fast, and he quickly thought of new things.

"I think this also explains why only powerful enough gods can protect all living beings when the tide of evil comes, and this process requires that the mind seal must be completely locked-because in the early and middle stages of the birth of gods, mortals' beliefs cannot be fully Objective things that are divorced from the natural world, such as the most primitive element worship, mountain forest worship and even beast worship, although these beliefs also have the tendency of 'self-explanation' and 'information closed loop', but their source is the awe and imagination of mortals to the powerful things in nature .

"The gods at this stage cannot completely avoid the 'dependence' on the real world. Changes in mortals' cognition of the real world will still seriously affect the existence of the gods themselves, or in other words, the gods at this stage are still Without a complete 'closed loop', the magic tide that occurs outside the 'ring' will still affect the gods inside the 'ring';

"And when the belief system develops to an advanced stage, the interpretation of the gods will gradually depart from the 'primitive awe', and turn to purer philosophical speculation and theoretical models. People realize that the mountains, rivers, thunder, lightning, and lightning in nature are just natural phenomena. , so they will push the gods they worship to a higher position to continue to maintain their sanctity and authority.

"Amorn, the god of nature, has actually gone through this stage—at first, the giant deer god was just a kind of worship of the mountains and beasts, but later the elves tamed the mountains and beasts, so the original giant deer god was not enough' "Stalwart", the believers raised him to the position of "natural master", what if he continues to be promoted?

"It is conceivable that if Amorn does not break away from the god position, then sooner or later he will become a symbol of the origin of all things. At that time, he will be completely cut off from the real world and become a completely closed-loop self-consistent, inconsistent A pure god that can be 'established' even without the support of any real thing, just like the original 'dragon god' Enya.

"At that time, as a god who has achieved a complete closed loop of information, he will not be affected by the magic tide."

Gao Wen clearly stated all the speculations in his mind at this moment, and this was obviously a direction that Jenny and Rebecca had never considered before, but no matter how shocking it was, no matter how inconsistent it was before They also have to admit one thing: all this can be explained in principle.

As a product of the observer effect at the macro level, the gods are immune to the influence of the magic tide precisely because of their own "information closed loop" characteristics!

"An information system that is not open to the outside world will not be affected by the out-of-control observer effect..." Jenny muttered to herself, "Yes, this is reasonable, we didn't think of this at all before..."

"It's not that we didn't think of it, it's that we avoided this direction unconsciously, because it will inevitably point to the gods, and if we don't point to the gods, we can't find another 'information system that is not open to the outside world'," Gao Wen shook Shaking his head, "But the Nuoyi people obviously didn't evade this point... If their unified field of mind is really a 'reversed state' of some kind of anti-divine barrier, it means that they have found a way to avoid the tide of magic from the gods ..."

As he spoke, he turned his attention to those blueprints and documents again, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"What is the result of inverting the anti-divine barrier? Will it lead to the rebinding of mortals and gods?"

"We have never done this before, and even the theoretical reserves are lacking, but one thing is certain, although this process is called 'inverting', its function is by no means simply to put the anti-divine barrier "Reverse" the function of the "non-directive trend of thought", "Jenny shook her head, "According to the preliminary deduction of Her Highness Rebecca and I, this inversion process should reverse the target of the 'non-directive trend of thought', if the original The 'non-directive trend of thought' acts on gods, so after its inversion, its effect object should be... all mortals."

Speaking of this, she paused, and then added: "Of course the real process should be far more complicated and more variable than this. At present, we only have a rough understanding based on the blueprint sent by the Nuoyi people, and generalize their strength. The field generator and projection device are regarded as the 'anti-phase state' of the anti-divinity barrier, how to realize this thing...needs careful study."

"I understand," Gawain nodded lightly, then stroked his chin with his index finger, "Is the non-directional trend of thought directed at all mortals..."

Suddenly, he stopped rubbing his chin.

"Could it be that... the real meaning of this process is to regard all mortals as a 'god'?"
