Weekly talk about character design - nine forensics, ideal country easter eggs
A practitioner of science and philosophy.
The chief disciple of the Ideal Country.
A seeker of truth who masters the library.
Formal logic and equivalence exchange.
Master the forensic medicine of science, jurisprudence, humanities, ethics, logic, psychology, medicine.
Someone who can talk to corpses.
A corpse whisperer who likes to drink coffee.
……
I'm better at talking to corpses than to living people.
……
The prototype of the Kujo forensic doctor is Aristotle.
A student of Plato, one of the Three Sages of Greece.
……
Prototype 1: Identity.
Aristotle was great because he didn't just stop at philosophy and mathematics, but really made a difference in the field of practical science.
His works include ethics, metaphysics, psychology, economics, theology, political science, rhetoric, natural sciences, pedagogy, poetry, customs, and Athenian law.
Aristotle's writings constructed the first extensive system of Western philosophy, encompassing morality, aesthetics, logic and science, politics and metaphysics.
To put it simply.
An "encyclopedic" character.
The status I gave Dr. Kujo as an "excellent forensic doctor" is actually to a certain extent in modern times, benchmarking this "encyclopedic" role.
Forensics, I believe that after the fire of the Japanese drama "Unnatural Death" in the past two years, everyone has a certain understanding of this industry.
Although they both have the same word for medicine, forensic medicine and doctors are different.
A good forensic doctor wants to find more clues through the condition of the corpse, just like asking the corpse to speak.
This requires them to have knowledge not only in medicine and anatomy, but also in the natural sciences, and even in the humanities and sociology.
If you can't understand this, you can watch one or two forensic dramas to understand, although the forensic profession in the TV series is more deified, but it is indeed equal to the ultimate pursuit of this profession.
The Japanese drama "Unnatural Death" and the American drama "Immortal Forensics" are quite recommended.
……
Prototype 2: Part of the experience.
Aristotle's father was a court physician, which influenced his interest in biology and the natural sciences.
Kujo's parents were doctors, which influenced her love for medicine and natural science
The death of Aristotle's student Hermias in the revolt in Asia Minor changed the course of his life, and he returned to Macedonia to teach Alexander the Great and later to Athens to establish a school.
The death of Dr. Kujo's parents in a terrorist attack by the Pioneer Church influenced her to pursue a path of forensic medicine, track down the mysterious world, and finally enter the Hall of Mysteries to master the balance of exchange.
In addition, leave a foreshadowing, Kujo Forensic will also have a student in the future.
……
The real incident of the terrorist attack on the parents of Kujo in the book,I've blurred it now.,Delete the name of the real event.,Including the Lord of Radiation.,It's all blurred.,Because you can't write about modern real events.,This is understandable.,I personally don't object to this.,This should be.,Including Haruki Murakami's writing of "1Q84" is also artistically processed.。
Therefore, in terms of the background of the parents of the nine forensic doctors, I have always written very little, but simply wrote the content of the experience, because I was afraid of hitting the line.
However, it doesn't have much impact, and our focus is on Kujo Forensics, not her parents.
Everyone knows that the parents of the Kujo Forensic Doctor died in the disaster caused by the greedy people in the mysterious world, so it is good to have a sense of justice in his heart, and he does not want others to suffer the same suffering, and at the same time, he is learning about the mysteries and tracking down the pioneer church.
……
Finally, the usual easter eggs.
Since we talked about Aristotle, the archetype of the Nine Articles, and the search for truth into the ideal state.
So in this issue of easter eggs, I want to talk about the ideal country and talk about the inspiration for the choice of the name ideal country.
……
On the surface, I won't talk about the idea of Plato's "Ideal Republic", which everyone knows and belongs to everyone's common sense cognition.
What I'm going to talk about here is the cyberpunk side of the "ideal country", another ideal country.
I used a lot of the Internet, social media, online games, virtual AR extensions, etc., in the mysterious hall of the ideal country, and it was very cyberpunk.
Including ninety-nine-eighty-one ukiyo-e, I used a lot of words such as mosaics, color blocks, fluorescent particles, data modules, and so on.
It creates a relatively trendy scene.
Oriental Cyber, Cyber Westward Journey.
The fundamental inspiration for these ideas came from a concept from 60 years ago.
This concept comes from something that may be little known nowadays called the "Platonic system".
……
Post a paragraph of encyclopedia:
The Plato system, which was established by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the 1960s and developed on ILLIACI, is the world's first computer-aided teaching system.
To put it simply.
It is a distance learning system.
Sixty years ago, when there was no Internet, there was a concept that was ahead of its time.
An ancient version of "DingTalk".
It can be included in the concept of online social archaeology.
If you want to see an explanation of this thing, you have to even go to foreign magazines and periodicals from fifty years ago.
Friendly Orange Rays: The Unknown Platonic System and the Dawn of Cyber Culture
……
Of course, if you want to have a brief understanding of the "Platonic system", I can recommend a video of the UP master of station B.
The video of "Mango Ice OL" "An artifact that could take online classes 50 years ago!" Can you still play online games? ”
AV94581355
It's very interesting and easy to understand.
……
Let me explain a little bit briefly.
This Platonic system can be regarded as an ancient nail.
Teachers and students communicate and learn through this system
It can store learning materials, leave chat records, and research materials
And then there is the video mentioned in station b, the Plato system also became the enlightenment of online social games at that time, and some students made games through it, and in that era when even microcomputers were not popular, online social games were produced.
Including the well-known Lianliankan game now,The gameplay was first enlightened from this.,This has little to do with us.,I won't go into details.,If you're interested, you can watch the video.。
……
The inspiration and idea of the naming of the ideal country comes from this 'Platonic system'.
The protagonist has this thing, and combined with the worldview of Internet and social media, I think it's a pretty cool and interesting setting.
The other is the concept of "enlightenment" in the sense of "enlightenment".
The concept of 'enlightenment', which I mentioned in the title of chapter 117 at the beginning, is a foreshadowing along with the black cabinet of the confessional, and it has not yet been written, which is a foreshadowing that is biased towards the power system of this book.
……
Finally, let's talk about the position and image of the protagonist in the ideal country.
Mr. Truth, a foggy man.
This one was inspired by Fullmetal Alchemist, and there are a lot of inspirations in the book, after all, it is a masterpiece of occult comics.
The truth in the steel chain is such an image, and of course, this image of the steel chain is also taken from the villain in the bottle in the earlier work "Faust".
Truth, door, behind the door, these settings are certainly not separate, but it is still early before the mystery is revealed.
Then talk about location.
Su Qi sat in the middle of the round table in the mysterious hall of the ideal country, not the one on the table.
This is indeed my limited level, and I want to explain the meaning of the protagonist from the perspective of truth to see the improvement of disciple communication, but I can't explain it in good words.
Until I saw the video of Mango Ice, the latter paragraph summed it up very well, and I borrowed it to enhance my opinion:
……
The Platonic system was designed from the ground up with the concept of audience-centricity and support for the sharing of user-made content, which seems closer to the essence of education.
The process of education should not be a one-way mechanical cycle of filling pressure and command feedback, but truly encouraging everyone to participate in the thinking and creation of knowledge.
I think that the name Platonic system was given to this name, perhaps it also expresses the maker's yearning for the concept of Plato's school in ancient Greece.
The apprentices roamed freely in the completely open grounds of Plato's Academy, where they learned to exchange and debate, while the philosopher Plato often just smiled at the inquisitive young people, encouraging them to explore, and giving them evaluation and guidance.
does not completely copy the power system in reality, it is not excessive control, but really leaves a brilliant achievement in the history of science and technology.
……
Sitting in the middle of the round table, not in it, is not to use words and identity power to control everyone's thoughts, but to create an environment in which they can communicate autonomously, and occasionally give guidance.
This is the position of Su Qi as a "great being" and "truth", and the basic quality that the Hall of Mysteries should have in order for the future to become a brilliant mystery through the ages.
