Chapter 006: Mathematics and Physiognomy
Compared with mathematical deduction, Shu Hui is more interested in Yuan Tiangang's physiognomy.
Mathematics, in Shu Hui's view, is just a serious nonsense.
Although within the system, the various derivations are also quite self-consistent. However, the fundamental contradiction that cannot be escaped is whether there is a connection between the parameters introduced by mathematics and the problem sought, and whether this connection is really like the estimation method found by the researchers of mathematics.
To this, Shu Hui's answer is: definitely not.
An occasional flutter of a butterfly's wings in the Amazon rainforest may cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later. Mathematics is to see the butterfly, and then ignore the ever-changing natural world in between, and replace it with a hypothetical mathematical deduction, in a vain attempt to find a tornado directly in Texas or somewhere else.
Sometimes I didn't even see a butterfly, but from copper coins, tortoise shells, yarrow, etc., which had nothing to do with butterflies, I deduced that there should be a butterfly and a tornado there through laws that do not exist in reality!
In philosophical terms, looking at things from a metaphysical point of view inevitably leads to idealism.
What is metaphysics? For example, in mathematics, nothing can be determined at all, two points can determine a straight line, and three points can determine a parabola...... Those who study metaphysics have obtained two points on a parabola, and whenever they calculate them in a straight line, the result is consistent with the actual situation only with the two points in front of them.
The reason is that we know very little, but we have a lot of plans. If the actual parameters are constantly increased, and the metaphysical mathematics is deduced into the actual natural laws, then the final evolution result is the meteorological prediction and hydrological simulation that Shu Hui saw with the help of supercomputers in later generations.
As for physiognomy, although more people think that it is unreasonable and more unacceptable than the number of unclear and powerful techniques, Shu Hui believes that its scientificity is far from being comparable to the current number of techniques.
Without him, the parameters taken by physiognomy are derived from the specific appearance of the person, and what he seeks is also the law of the person's life.
This is much richer than the broad mathematical technique, where the known conditions are much richer, the desired result is too convergent, and the causal connection is much closer.
However, as a master of physiognomy, Yuan Tiangang is not as confident in physiognomy as Shu Hui.
And rightfully so. Numerology matters, how can mortals snoop on? Others only said that Yuan Tiangang was good at physiognomy, and he could see into the heavens and use his methods. However, his own family knows his own affairs, and he knows best what kind of means he has.
Others can believe in physiognomy, but Yuan Tiangang, as a master of physiognomy, cannot.
In this world, if you talk about physiognomy, who else is me? This is Yuan Tiangang's self-confidence. However, he has become the first person in the world to do physiognomy. Others can believe in themselves, but who do they believe?
If Shu Hui knew what Yuan Tiangang was thinking at this time, he would be able to understand his mood. In the previous life, there were still many people in Shu Hui's world who thought it couldn't be a trick after watching the magician's performance, and believed that the magician did have magical abilities. But can they believe it, can the magicians themselves believe it?
The same is true for Yuan Tiangang.
In the face, he relied on his master's physiognomy, his years of experience in the rivers and lakes, and more important language skills. Because his physiognomy attainments can be said to be the strongest in the world, Yuan Tiangang paid more attention to his own mathematical deduction.
Shu Hui didn't think so.
In addition to the metaphysical content, there is an accumulation of wisdom and experience. The most important thing is that what Shu Hui knew and learned in his previous life allowed him to understand the deep principles implied in the art of face-to-face.
"Shu Hui, if you want to say that I only know a little bit about mathematics, but in terms of face-to-face, there are very few people in this world who can match me." was asked about his housekeeping skills, Yuan Tiangang was also quite proud. But then he was ashamed, and lowered his voice and said:
"But I don't think physiognomy is so fascinating, and even many times, the results obtained according to the texts are far from the reality. And I have also tried to rewrite the classics, but different people have different lives in different faces. It is combined with other faces, but it is not as simple as mathematics. That's why I want to find the true law of physiognomy through numbers. ”
Seeing that Yuan Tiangang was facing his "god" and speaking so frankly, Shu Hui looked at him more kindly. This is the first person I have seen in this era, who is responsible for taking care of himself and providing for his own convenience, and even in later generations I have heard his name. It is not an exaggeration to say that Yuan Tiangang is the person he is most familiar with in this world.
He opened the system and checked, Yuan Tiangang, blue rating, RP value 900.
This means that you can give Yuan Tiangang blue and below levels, and the required consumption of items with an RP value equal to or less than 900 is required.
Smashing his mouth, Shu Hui still doesn't have a clear idea of how difficult it is to get items.
"Your deducing physiognomy from mathematics is doomed to be in vain."
Shu Hui was unceremonious to Yuan Tiangang. Although in the eyes of some people, Yuan Tiangang may be a master of physiognomy, and Shu Hui can be said to know nothing about this, but this is not the case.
What Yuan Tiangang's physiognomy lacks is scientificity, and science is Shu Hui's worldview. Using a worldview that you believe in to convince the people you care about, even if this worldview is wrong, does not negate his starting point.
Yuan Tiangang heard Shu Hui say this, and quickly sat up straight. If you have the opportunity to receive the guidance of the gods themselves, you may be able to clear the fog that haunts your heart and get a glimpse of the true "Tao". Yuan Tiangang, who had been a Taoist priest in his early years, thought of it with a smile.
"What regulates the operation of the human body is not as the ancients thought, but only the five elements of yin and yang." As soon as it opened, Yuan Tiangang was stunned.
"Men and women are happy, yin and yang are communicating, and they are conceived." Shu Hui talked eloquently.
"This father's essence and mother's blood contains the innate faith of creation and man." Shu Hui tried his best to modify the genetic process with a statement that Yuan Tiangang could easily understand and accept.
Half of this innate faith comes from his father, and half from his mother. Every two pairs are matched, allogeneous and homologous, a total of twenty-three pairs. "The concept of 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes of zygotes was brought to Datang.
"Each of these innate beliefs contains a number of genes. Hundreds at least, tens of thousands. When Shu Hui introduced the concept of genes, he did not change the word. After explaining this new concept, Yuan Tiangang can also understand.
"This gene is a thing that determines who it becomes."
……
"Although there are countless genetic types, there are only twenty-three pairs of innate beliefs per person. Genes are ever-changing, but innate beliefs rarely change. "This brings us to the point of physiognomy, and the genetic recombination of eukaryotes is not the real genetic recombination.
"If the two genes originate from the same innate faith, even if they are inherited for hundreds of generations, the two genes should still exist on the same innate faith." Shu Hui paused and lifted the final veil of physiognomy.
"If the genes required for the six ears and the three eyes are all located in the same innate faith, then looking at the six ears to know the three eyes, and looking at the three eyes to know the six ears, this is the eternal truth, although it is not easy for eternity."
Yuan Tiangang was stunned. Although he heard a little cloudy and foggy, he couldn't understand the basic meaning.
If it can be determined that a certain physical appearance is associated with a certain congenital disease, then the normal life expectancy is much more accurate than it is now. Knowing the accurate relationship between a certain appearance and a certain character, and then deducing his life trajectory from his personality and family background, not to mention how accurate it is, at least countless times more accurate than the current method.
Shu Hui remembers that in his previous life, a study found that men with a longer middle finger than their ring finger are prone to bending, and I don't know if it's true. It is necessary to pay attention to this point in the future, after all, in the Tang Dynasty, women dressed up as men, men dressed up as women, and there were countless "gentlemen" with good male style. You have clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and you should be more vigilant against this kind of person.
"Is this method of innate faith really so simple and effective?" If this is the case, then a large number of comparisons and summaries can easily draw the implicit information revealed by all the physical characteristics that are easy to observe and distinguish, and the temptation is so great that Yuan Tiangang's breath can't help but become short.
"Of course not." Shu Hui poured a scoop of cold water mercilessly. I didn't come up with this concept because it was simpler than numbers. But in Shu Hui's view, studying mathematics is doomed to be in vain. Although the method I proposed is equally complex and has a relatively limited scope of application, its value lies in its authenticity.
Then Shu Hui briefly explained the concepts of alleles, recessive genes, polygenic traits, and gene mutations for Yuan Tiangang. As for the deeper neuromodulation, hormone regulation, and antagonism and synergy, he didn't talk about it, and he couldn't remember it clearly. And it's too complicated for the face to measure.
In fact, Shu Hui doesn't know much about these theories, but they are just the results of basic education when the great motherland cast a wide net. There may even be a fallacy in what he says.
However, no matter what you say, this is also the essence of knowledge far beyond this era, and Yuan Tiangang was dizzy when he heard it, and his intuition was that this might be a blessing from heaven, and he desperately wanted to remember, even if he couldn't understand it for a while.
"Shu Hui, what you just said is too amazing, I want to go back and digest it well." Yuan Tiangang resigned, walked to the door and turned back: "Can others know these contents?" ”
Shu Hui smiled indifferently: "Whatever you want, you can write a book if you want, this system can not only be seen, but also has many uses that you can't imagine." If you write it into a book, more people will study it, and that's a merit. ”
In addition, if it can be popularized, then more people will know that the probability of having a boy and a girl is equal. No matter how much, it can always make some families more harmonious, and it can be regarded as benefiting the country and the people. ”
Yuan Tiangang was overjoyed when he heard Shu Hui's reminder, and walked out of the door quickly. The matter of writing the book will be discussed later, and he will first record what he has just heard, and then read it slowly. When you encounter something that is really incomprehensible, ask Shu Hui again.
"Dust off, grind ink for me!"
……
Every time Shu Hui heard the name of Yuan Tiangang, he wondered if he was using public weapons for private use, and changed the name of other people's good officials and slaves. However, Yuan Tiangang never brought any slaves to see Shu Hui, which was also out of respect for the gods.
Hongyu, the eldest girl sent by the Changsun clan to wait for Shu Hui, although she claims to be a slave, her status is not low, she is a female official in the palace.
When the east chamber quieted down, Shu Hui opened his system interface. Just now, after explaining the principle of physiognomy that Yuan Tiangang thought was very scientific, the system prompted him to receive a new reward.
In the interface for claiming rewards, two small dots float and float. One of them is the unfinished Starter Pack, and the other is the reward this time.
Shu Hui didn't know what the system's criteria for issuing rewards were, so she didn't issue any tasks, so she directly gave him a reward. And he didn't tell him why he wanted to reward him after sending it, which was very cold.
Attention was focused on the new green dot, and I saw that it was an epic hardcover book, and the double helix of a three-dimensional relief on the spine was particularly eye-catching.
There is no text on the book cover, and the following description is: "Dictionary of Genetic Traits." ”
It's not an item, it's a database. It contains all the traits and genes of all the creatures that exist in the world in Shu Hui's past and present lives.
Shu Hui looked at this illusory book, but understood its value. The self who owns the system, when the terminal of its own system loads this database, it can become a camera computer.
And it's incredibly accurate.
At the same time, Shu Hui also had a vague guess about the reward mechanism of the system. If you seem to have made a difference in the world, if you think it's a positive change, then the system will reward you for that change.
"Extraction!"
Because it is a database, there is no need for time-space transmission, and the book disappeared from the list of prizes to be claimed after Shu Hui shouted the extraction instruction.
There doesn't seem to be any change in the system, there are no extra icons in the menu of common functions, and the backpack is still empty.
But—
"System, analyze my appearance!"
Lines of information quickly appear in the interactive horizon:
"First horizontal stripe on the left palm: ......"
“…… :……”
“…… : Conceited"
“……”
“…… : Compassionate"
“…… (I won't make up specific correspondences if they cause contradictions)"
A large amount of information flashed, but there was only a part of the physical characteristics here, because Shu Hui still didn't know all of his physical appearance. In this way, it seems that there is a lot of information available, but it is not very useful.
However, if Shu Hui wants to achieve great things in the future, then he must carefully consider how to use people. With the help of this artifact, you can save a lot of effort.
However, the current information is still too complicated, and a lot of content is actually of little meaning to him, so it is necessary to set up a filter.
"System, analyze the morphology later, and the results only need to tell me the most prominent personality strengths and flaws after mixed deduction, as well as genetic diseases that may be disabling and fatal."
At this time, Ao Guang and Hongyu both returned, Shu Hui's eyes lit up, and it was just in time!
"System, analyze these two." It's like getting a new toy, Shu Hui now wants to analyze everyone.
Two reports are quickly displayed in the interactive view:
"Ao Guang, white, RP10."
"Loyal, tenacious, but afraid of heights."
Scare? It turns out that fear of heights is also a genetic psychological defect. The defect can be overcome, and in the future, take him to high-rise buildings and rope bridges, and get a glass plank road or something by the way. Shu Hui thought weakly.
Look at the red fish again:
"Redfish, purple, RP25."
Shu Hui was confused, why did Hongyu and Ao Guang arrive at the same time, just said a few more words to himself, and Hongyu was already purple so soon? The system says that the color is judged according to the importance of the other party in their hearts, and there is no time factor. But in your own heart, you must always consider the time factor when judging whether a person is important, right?
It seems that when the system analyzed itself before, there was nothing wrong with that ellipsis in it, but I didn't want to admit it at the time. No, I didn't admit it at the time, so why admit it now? The system must be playing tricks on itself.
Read on.
"Intelligent, strong, but affectionate."
It seems that both waiters are in good health and have no genetic diseases that can cause death or disability. But what does it mean that his maid is amorous? Do you want to forgive her?
Shu Hui focused on the word amorous, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"So amorous means sentimental? system, why do you know so much. ”
If others knew what he was thinking at this time, they would probably fall to the ground laughing. You're a three-year-old, what do you all day?
