Entropy of life (13)

A large amount of iscosahedron, like a crystal ball, seeped through the wall, but did not slide down the wall. Instead, after leaving the wall completely, it falls to the ground according to the rules of gravity.

Moreover, when they fall, they don't make the sound that a hard polyhedron should make.

That's the sound of liquid dripping.

These falling icosahedrons on the ground are constantly rolling and converging. Soon it was running around the floor like a cloud of liquid.

When modern computers need to simulate the flow of liquids, they tend to choose a large number of spherical interactions. Undoubtedly, the icosahedron is already very close to the shape of a sphere.

This was already the third cube that had appeared in front of her, each of which ended up exhibiting incomprehensibly strange properties.

Now, of course, she knows what these cubes are. In every textbook of geometry, they are not missing.

Tetrahedron, hexahedron, octahedron, dodecahedron, icosahedron.

Platonic Cube. These are the only five perfectly symmetrical cubes in the world, and they are the essence of ancient Greek mathematics and philosophy.

In fact, they were not discovered by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. Plato, however, gave these five cubes a unique philosophical meaning, which is where their name comes from.

It is believed that Plato believed that the world was built on this symmetry and harmony.

Although with the development of modern science, too many philosophical understandings have been denied. However, modern science cannot give a definite answer to this alone.

But she didn't have time to think about such a question at all, because she was feeling an increasingly strong interference with her thinking.

With each cube, the disturbance seems to get worse. And this kind of interference is very weird, she actually has the illusion that her self-consciousness is radiating out.

She actually felt as if she had the same properties as these cubes.

The "flowing" icosahedron "current" tumbled between the walls, floors, and ceilings of the corridor, rapidly increasing its volume, as if someone was stirring it with a stirring stick.

Salt Bico didn't let the liquid touch her interest in the slightest, and although her own condition was not normal, she still tried her best to maintain her self-knowledge, and ran wildly down the hallway.

The "liquid" followed her closely, as if it was about to swallow her at any moment. However, she was still able to shake off the "liquid" from afar. To be honest, if anyone saw her posture at this time, I'm afraid no one would be able to tell what she was doing.

She was always facing the "liquid", but she was running away from it. Her figure would turn in any direction at an unexpected speed without warning, without affecting her speed at all, and without turning her body at all.

Can you imagine a human being able to move in any direction at the same speed? Not only is it far beyond humans, but it is even beyond the realm of living beings. The evolution of nature is targeted, and there is absolutely no living organism capable of moving in this way.

Her figure is already like a ghost, whether it is a vertical wall or an upside-down ceiling, it can be her foothold. Even inertia seemed to have lost its effect on her, and she was simply running anywhere, in any direction.

Absolutely no one could say what she was doing, at least not like a creature could do.

It was a dance, a dance of incredible beauty by incredible dancers with indescribable dance steps.

Even she didn't know how she did it. In order to minimize the impact of interference in her thinking, she eliminated all superfluous thoughts and allowed herself to act according to only two rules: First, she could not let the "liquid" out of her sight. The second is not to allow the liquid to come into contact with you.

Just imagine a migratory bird and you can understand what she did. The migration of countless groups of migratory birds follows similar simple rules.

Based on such simple rules, it is natural that she can move in a way that uses mathematical equations. But the problem is that when a certain value in an equation is equal to a specific value, the answer changes weirdly – the answer becomes arbitrary within the range. That is, it becomes chaos.

The question is, why? This is not the paint that Jackson Pollock splashed casually, human behavior is certainly chaotic, but it is very difficult for humans to truly follow random behavior under certain rules.

Although the "liquid" could also climb to any position, it just couldn't catch up with her.

Suddenly, the "liquid" burst open, and it turned into a torrential rain that poured down like a waterfall and covered the entire corridor.

No matter how you dodge, it is impossible for a human body to pass through a gap in the rain, and I am afraid that anyone will take this idea as common sense. However, the moment the raindrops touched her, her body turned into countless slender threads, each of which passed through the gaps between the raindrops, and reconstructed her form after passing through the curtain of the rainstorm.

This is not of her own volition, but a completely spontaneous, unexplained ability to initiate. Subject to the two most basic rules, her ability to unleash was completely spontaneous.

She couldn't explain the principle, but since the end of the "experiment" two and a half months ago, her use of her abilities has begun to become a kind of "automata" instead of being limited to self-consciousness.

("Who are you?") ”)

Suddenly, a voice sounded in Yanbi's head, a woman's voice.

The voice sounded familiar, but it seemed to be a little different. She couldn't remember where she had heard the same voice, but it seemed familiar.

She didn't know if it was the result of mental interference, and if it was, it wasn't a good thing.

("Here is ......")

The melodious female voice is like an echo from far away, ethereal and almost inorganic, like those crystals.

"Who?"

She shouted into the empty hallway.

The only answer to her was an octahedron dangling from the ceiling.

The inside of this crystal-like octahedron seems to be wrapped in something fluid. It was as if there was a gust of wind stirring in it.

Every time this kind of cube appears, it must mean what will happen, and of course Yan Bi does not dare to underestimate these seemingly harmless crystals. But at this time, the voice in her head said.

("I see, that's ......")

Suddenly, she reached out and grabbed the octahedral crystal.

She was shocked because that wasn't what she wanted to do.

Her body was completely detached from her will, and she made her own movements.

In the interior of the regular octahedron, the flowing wind violently trembled.

She seemed to feel a moment's hesitation in the consciousness represented by the woman's voice. Then, her palms slowly clenched.

Bang!

The bursting power contained in the octahedron spread out in all directions, causing a wave of turmoil in the corridor centered on herself.

Instead of shattering the octahedron, she directly shattered the invisible wind.

So, the whole corridor was quiet again.

("Have you noticed?") ”)

The woman's voice said.

Regaining control of her body, she didn't know what to answer.

("Didn't you?") Then take a closer look. ”)

She didn't know what the voice meant, but the reminder of it made her feel that there was something strange about it. She suddenly realized that she wasn't the only one here. Looking towards the end of the dark hallway, there seemed to be an unusually familiar back.

She cautiously took a step forward, and to her surprise, the figure in front of her also took a step forward.

A sensational thought crossed her mind, could it be......

She immediately looked behind her, where there was another her.

One who also looked back at himself, himself.

("Tetrahedron, representing fire.") Regular hexahedron, representing earth. Regular octahedron and represents the atmosphere. Regular icosahedron, representing water. So, what's the remaining one? ”)

The melodious female voice recited like a chant.

(That's the answer.) The dodecahedron is the blueprint of the universe. What you see here is the true composition of the universe. ”)

The dark space seems to have been washed by clean water and faded its color, and new prints seem to be presented from nothing.

It was a drawing of a lady dressed in black sitting at a white round table.

When is it......

"Welcome."

She was unbelievably young, and said elegantly like a young girl.

It was, indeed, a familiar voice.

The black dress is adorned with roses, beautiful and mysterious. I don't know why, I just can't see her face.

"Where is this? Are you a capable one? ”

"The Able?" The noble lady was stunned for a moment, then nodded as if she realized something, "Yes, in your words, I am the one who is capable. ”

In the silence that seemed to be eternity, the frightened lady smiled leisurely.

(Could it be this person...... οΌ‰

"Don't think about it, I'm not mentally or consciously." The noblewoman seemed to have guessed her thoughts, which shocked her. But the lady didn't care about her reaction. "Have you ever heard of Albert Einstein's 'cosmological constant'? That's what I'm capable of. ”

Yan Bi frowned, she couldn't understand the noblewoman's words. In fact, she didn't even know what the noblelady was talking about.

The lady smiled faintly, and she stretched out her hands and gestured with her fingers to the distance between the two five times the difference.

"The essence of my abilities is everywhere and does not diminish with distance. When the universe doubles, my power doubles; When the universe grows tenfold, so does my power. That's the most important thing about my ability, you can never really feel it, it only works in one way, and that's when gravity pulls everything together, it takes on the role of pushing everything outward. My abilities are the enemy of gravity, the most fundamental nature of all things. Although undetectable, my abilities occupy three-quarters of the universe, the largest part of the universe. ”

What's that? Someone may be able to understand the meaning of this passage, but it is clearly not.

"Who the hell are you?"

She is only concerned with this issue now.

"Nothing. Names are human-given meanings, and I am not human, and I have long since been given meanings by humans. The lady shook her head slowly and confusedly, as if wondering why. yes, I remember, it must be so. I used to be known as 'Edith'. But now, I don't need any names. ”

"It's not...... Mankind? ”

She repeated the phrase as she felt as if she had seen something she could never understand.

"The so-called 'world' is defined by human beings, and that is everything within the boundaries of human cognition. The 'world' expands with the expansion of human understanding, and it is only within the confines of the 'world' that names are needed for identification. I'm outside of human cognition, so I don't need a name anymore. Only, I remember they used to call me ......"

Ethereal voices echoed and swirled throughout the space.
