Chapter 15: The first clues
I realized something was wrong!
If the qualifications of magicians were to be judged strictly according to what I had just thought, would Miss Alice have to be excluded from the half-pheasant magicians outside the orthodox academic school?
First of all, I have not been enlightened by a teacher in the sense of reality, and secondly, I have not even established a relatively complete system of my own, and all the foundations of research are just hastily laid down after being obtained by chance in the process of exploration, not to mention that I have vaguely realized that it is impossible to establish a system that can fully describe "consciousness" and pure "people", and the mystery of consciousness is far beyond the imagination of consciousness itself, which makes people feel somewhat contradictory and frustrating.

In this way, I should either be classified as a "true magic apprentice" who has not yet been taught and will never be able to do so, or I should simply admit that I am a half-pheasant who teaches and directs myself.
But! The title of Orthodox Magician is one of the most powerful weapons I use to taunt Marisa, and I can't give it up easily, let alone who cares about the qualifications of a professional system that has not even been established by a unified certification body? Of course, I don't care about the inconsistencies in the above paragraphs.
While I was thinking about it, Acuchimaru was lying on the illustrated book and carefully pondering a few strangely shaped flowers and plants, while Xiao Suzu dragged the energetic purple witch to start the text teaching trial run.
This group of inquisitive idlers is really enviable, and I decided to take a stroll in the corridor surrounded by bookshelves, which has some irreplaceable freshness compared to the study room of the Earth Spirit Temple.
Due to the irregularity and basic non-repetition of the inflow of books, they can almost be classified as non-renewable resources, so the bookstore's protection measures for books are quite thoughtful, unless the villagers have enough spare money to support them to take the initiative to destroy the books, the considerable deposits and additional fines will make the big landowners, including Miss Aqiu at the top of the aristocracy, feel extremely painful.
I'm certainly not here to wreak, and the occasional reading of outside books will help broaden your mind and broaden your horizons ā provided you have the ability to be critical and have enough leisure time.
After a long scan, I found that the concept of books from the outside world was almost occupied by "novels" and "comics", and other categories had become sporadic embellishments.
And in this bleak classification, a large part is also a single type of domination, most of the titles seem strange but summed up seem to be changed to the form of "how to", how to succeed, how to invest, how to see through the direction of the stock market, how to change their fate, how to attract the opposite sex, and even how to become the next Jobs, etc., etc., just by looking at the titles, I can already understand their content, and the vitality of such books is inevitably short-lived, and the probability of being quickly forgotten is quite large, Then it is not surprising that it appeared in Kosuzu's bookstore.
As for those novels and manga, I think many of them are still popular books, for example, if I take out several books and turn them to the back of the title page, you can see the first edition and several printings, which shows that the popularity of the novels or manga itself is quite high enough to be printed many times, so the reason why they appear in Kosuzu's store must not be thrown into the garbage heap of history and left Gensokyo "too much", right?
"Alice Alice, have you found a good book? I've seen you standing there for a long time. Acuchimaru flew over at some point, and then sighed, "I can't understand a word of their text." ā
I heard something from afar, "Some languages only have time to develop words in the mouth, and some languages that have developed words but for various reasons only words are left and no one knows the pronunciation, they are facing the latter situation, the difficulty of teaching has doubled several times, not to mention that it is quite difficult to imagine a set of shapes with no name and no pronunciation in my mind alone, not to mention that this is a face-to-face teaching of two people, I hope Xiaoling has enough patience." ā
"It's super complicated!"
"Since you're not interested in learning, don't care about them.,Does Arimiyamaru like to read comics? It's all over the place, and most of them are super classic that has stood the test of time and consumers. I said this, giving her a first volume of a comic book in which the main characters all possess admirable muscles.
She happily returned to the table with her hands and the top of her head as a support point, while I continued to scan the bookshelves after passing the villain.
Then I found a surprising booklet, the opening of which was comparable to that of an ordinary book, but rather thin, so that the printed title on the side was almost imperceptible.
What is surprising about it is not the thickness, nor the content for the time being - I haven't read it yet - but because the author of the side including the cover is labeled Maelo Belle Hahn.
The name of Maelupelle Hahn evokes a deeply buried memory that I once renovated during a visit to the Jido-temple, in short, the beautiful girl who seems to have been lost more than once in Gensokyo, a beautiful girl who looks like Yakumo Purple and nicknamed Merry, wrote a book and published it through the university press, and one of them coincidentally flowed into Gensokyo and was admitted to Suzuna-an.
She had told me that her major was theoretical physics and classical philosophy, so before I opened the pamphlet I thought I was going to read a published, extremely excellent student paper on a problem that might not be surprising, and when I saw the introduction, I realized that it was indeed a thesis, but not a specific modern physics problem as I had imagined.
The title goes like this: MWI (ManyWorlds Interpretation) Extension, and its next line is subheading: Explanation and Perfection of the Principles of Relative Spirituality.
I've never heard of the so-called relative spirituality, which is obviously not a concept that has been coined in the last few decades, and there's a strange and fantastical air to the phrase in it, not quite like that used by a serious college student, but after a few pages of the text, I was amazed at Merley's strange and genius thinking.
My initial understanding is that she is attempting to build a theoretical system she calls "relative psychiatry" in this pamphlet, which has been synthesized from several papers, and it seems that she is going to give a fairly rigorous mathematical model, and that she will come up with several thought experiments to support it.
It was then that I understood why the subtitle was chosen as "The Explanation and Perfection of the Principles of Relative Spirituality."
As far as my own understanding is concerned, once it involves subjective issues such as consciousness, mathematical models basically have no place, but Meili's theoretical system seems to be based on MWI at first glance, although MWI is unrestricted sci-fi fantasy and even superstitious in the process of dissemination, but in the final analysis, MWI is a quantum theory interpretation method with a rigorous mathematical model, and relative psychiatry, if as Melly said at the beginning, is not literally conveyed as a psychological pseudoscience without mathematical foundation. It is still basically a physical method of study, rather than a subjective argument divorced from mathematics.
Speaking of MWI -- the theory of many worlds -- I certainly knew a lot about it in the magazines that came in decades ago, and I had some discussions with Patchy at the time, but I didn't care about it without much real progress.
