"The Information Attributes and Natural Attributes of the Paper"

“…… Human civilization is material, but there is no doubt that it is informational, and in order to verify the informationality of civilization, we can use the philosophical way of thinking, and when we think about the question of 'where do we come from?', classical philosophers tend to fall into deep and deep metaphysical thinking, and we will not consider this route for the time being. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info To answer this question, I think we might as well take a more realistic approach: to understand the past.

Modern historians and archaeologists are able to depict the general history of the development of human civilization through research and analysis, and further afield, geologists, astronomers, and biologists can even depict the history of life on the entire earth and even the history of the entire earth and even the universe.

It sounds like figuring out where we come from in reality doesn't seem like a difficult problem.

Note, however, that there is a very important, crucial question here that is related to my whole reasoning, namely: do these things that have been excavated, recorded, and existed in texts and traditions really exist?

People who don't see my question clearly may continue with their own thinking habits, and some people will say, "That's just a legend, who knows if there's any exaggeration?" Others will say, "These are recorded in my family history, and there is no doubt that they exist." "Serious scholars will try to verify the authenticity of these 'pasts', but I can guarantee that they don't see my questions clearly.

Notice my question: Do they really 'exist'?

Someone realized what I was saying. Yes, I would like to say that the so-called 'past' in books, in memory, or inferred from ruins or reality, they are no longer there, they are gone forever.

Some people retorted, "How can it be gone forever?" You look at the ancient cities and ruins, they still exist there, they testify to the existence of the past. ”

I don't object to them proving the existence of the past, but I would like to correct that they only prove the existence of the past, and this proof is not necessarily accurate, just as we visit the ruined Colosseum of ancient Rome and imagine its past, but we can never go back 2,000 years to the time when the gladiators fought bloody battles and the nobles drank and reveled, and we do not know if what we imagined corresponded to the existence of that time.

From an extreme philosophical point of view, once time has passed, then what belongs to that time period does not exist, just as we cannot step into the same river twice.

This is exactly what I really want to say: the long history of the development of our civilization, everything about our past, the material basis for their existence, has practically disappeared with the passage of time.

All the history recorded in books, reasoning, memory, including the entire history of our civilization, really exists only in the 'now', and its form of existence, without a doubt, is information.

That is the final conclusion of what I want to say.

……

- Qin Ye"

……

Zhou Yang closed the thick compilation of papers and groaned deep in thought.

"Do you have any thoughts?" Chu Zhengxuan lifted the kettle and added a cup of hot water to the cup in Zhou Yang's hand: "He can be called a genius boy, he was admitted to the university at the age of sixteen, and what is even more admirable is that he is terminally ill and is tormented by cranial neuralgia almost every day. ”

Zhou Yang shook his head and sighed: "To be honest, I don't understand philosophy, I can only understand a small part of his articles, but I do admire him, when I was sixteen years old, all I thought about in my mind was the little thing in the books every day, thinking about life and thinking about the future, definitely not as deep as his thoughts, whether it was right or not, at least it shows that he is a person who is very willing to think." ”

"Well, his teachers don't think so, and only a few of his papers have been published."

Chu Zhengxuan shook his head: "The general opinion of his teachers is that his thinking is extremely close to classical metaphysics, which is inconsistent with the development direction of modern philosophy, and this Qin Ye himself is also a very assertive person, he insists that the current philosophy of the study of truth has entered a dead end, and many people who are studying philosophy have actually fallen into the deep pit of logic and language rhetoric, polluting philosophy with tongue arguments and word games, and giving up thinking about the nature of human civilization." ”

"So what?"

He changed his major, changed his major to ancient history, and soon ended up in the hospital. Based on the diagnosis given to him by most doctors, he probably has a year to two years to live. ”

He finished the statement with a blank face, which was supposed to be a story worthy of sighing and sadness, but the narration from his mouth was completely untouching, aggravating the lingering discomfort that Zhou Yang had felt since he entered this underground research institute somewhere in Beijing.

This kind of discomfort existed at the beginning of his entry here, and the state organs seemed to have a tense and solemn atmosphere by nature, and being with Chu Zhengxuan for a few hours made him feel like a thorn in his back.

Observing these three new colleagues, although Jiang Hongjun, who arranged for him to stay, has a serious face, he has a loud voice when he speaks, loves and hates clearly, and is a person with exposed feelings, Yang Jianhua was born in the military, and it is not difficult to get along, but this Chu Zhengxuan makes Zhou Yang extremely uncomfortable.

For example, in the past few hours since Zhou Yang saw Chu Zhengxuan in the morning, Chu Zhengxuan's facial expression has not changed in the slightest, and the tone of his voice is also the same as when he was in a meeting with those two foreigners, the tone is like a news broadcast, without any emotion, when Zhou Yang asks a question, he will think seriously and answer, but he doesn't say a word about what he shouldn't say.

Summing up his past experience, Zhou Yang was a little surprised: if the witnesses and criminals he had contacted in the past were all like Chu Zhengxuan, his past experience as a police officer would definitely be doubly bumpy. Maybe that's what an intelligence officer should be.

The secret meets the secret, which is a natural resistance derived from the characteristics of the profession.

After Zhou Yang figured it out, he was a little relieved but still uncomfortable, he has been a police officer for many years, and he has become accustomed to understanding other people's personalities and formulating corresponding strategies, but this is the first time in his life to work with this kind of person who he can't see through at all.

Zhou Yang remembered the unconscious Professor Guo he saw in the protection room just now, and sighed.

"What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking that this case is more complicated, if this person is the next target of the killer organization that killed Professor Guo." Zhou Yang pondered and said, "What are they looking for such a young philosophy lover?" Or does such a young man have anything else to do with Professor Guo? ”

"Captain Yang's task force is on the way to protect this person, unless we find him, or Professor Guo wakes up, or the murderer throws himself into the net with a very small chance, otherwise we still don't know what information is, but Mr. Zhou, you are a police officer, you should have some ideas."

Zhou Yang smiled bitterly and said, "What can I think?" I didn't want to believe the two Americans, but reason told me that what they said was probably the most plausible inference, and I had another idea of my own, but not only was it extremely unlikely, but it was also impossible to justify the motive for the crime. ”

"Oh? Why don't you tell us about it? Chu Zhengxuan seemed to be a little interested.

"It's ridiculous, really?"

"We have a 'brainstorming' method in intelligence science, for one thing, exhaust the thinking ability of intelligence officers, gather all the inspiration, no matter how ridiculous it seems, we must carefully analyze, the inspiration itself is not important, the important thing is the new inspiration that the inspiration causes, maybe a certain one has become a breakthrough in thinking."

"Then I'll brainstorm it, to be honest, at that time, the Americans thought that Professor Guo and they got together to compile an outline for extremism, and I had another idea at that time, these experts from different specialties got together, in fact, there could be another kind of work to do." Zhou Yang glanced at Chu Zhengxuan: "I don't know if you know about online games?" ”

"I studied it for a while a few years ago, but do you think these experts are getting together to build a virtual community like an online game?"

"Yes, a group of experts involved in electronics, sociology, and economics get together, and if they are working on some big project, they will have a little less manpower, and building a virtual network community with a certain background requires knowledge of economics, sociology, history, and even religious occultism." Zhou Yang pondered: "But I can't imagine what kind of reason will cause vendetta in this situation, not to mention that there are more unreasonable places......"

"Well, you have a point, it's quite unlikely, but when it comes to online games, we have an experiment on this case, and you might be interested. Say as you go. ”

Chu Zhengxuan stood up and motioned for Zhou Yang to follow.

The scale of the institute is not large, but he has only touched a small part, passing through a short corridor, and a basement, the road facing him is a little gloomy, the sound of ticking instruments continues to come from everywhere, and the scientific researchers in white coats who pass by are silent, coming and going, Zhou Yang followed Chu Zhengxuan deeper and deeper, leaving the corridor with a big sign of 'Silence', and entering a small room full of materials, Zhou Yang still felt a little cold, until Chu Zhengxuan threw a stack of materials to him.

The first page of the information drew the hideous murder weapon, and Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment.

"I heard Captain Yang say that you have always been curious about the importance that the country attaches to this case, and the reason is this thing, Mr. Clark has told you about this thing, but I want to say more things." Chu Zhengxuan sat opposite Zhou Yang: "Officer Zhou, do you think the craftsmanship level of any country on the earth can make such a murder weapon?" ”

"I don't know about industry." Zhou Yang shook his head.

Chu Zhengxuan didn't say anything, just opened the laptop and clicked on a video, and with the strange light of the video, Zhou Yang was gradually shocked until he was dumbfounded.

"It's a biomimetic structure that looks inside this thing under X-ray fluoroscopy."

"It's incredible, it's like it's alive." Zhou Yang's heart was full of shock.

"No country in the world can do this level of biomimicry." Chu Zhengxuan narrowed his eyes: "From a technical point of view, it's simply a work of art, isn't it?" ”

Zhou Yang watched the video finish little by little, watching the wire swing like a living person, and nodded stunnedly: "It is indeed art." ”

"Our researchers say that these biomimetic wires are ten years ahead of our country's level."

After saying that, Chu Zhengxuan and Zhou Yang were silent for a while.

"What about the Americans? There's no way they can't do it. Zhou Yang asked tentatively.

"They might have done this, but there were other things, such as internal procedures and electrical signals that couldn't be deciphered."

"Can't be deciphered?"

"Yes, it can't be deciphered, it uses an algorithm that has never been seen before, and the data center is working on it, but according to the research of the special investigation team, the probability of deciphering it is not high." Chu Zhengxuan explained in detail: "Because the Americans got the sample half a year ago, if they found out valid information, it would be absolutely impossible to attach so much importance to Professor Guo's witness." Do you know? Professor Guo moved here later, and three days ago when he was in the military hospital, American spies tried to kidnap him. ”

"To this extent does the Americans value Professor Guo?"

"Because of this, this case is all the more worthy of our attention, whether it is these technologies that are of great value to our country, or the new situation changes that may occur in the Middle East region, as well as the news from the United States, in short, it is related to some changes in national policy." Chu Zhengxuan paused and said, "Officer Zhou, I have some more secretive materials to show you next, but these materials may make you a little uncomfortable. ”

"Please."

"That's right, Clark once told you that this murder weapon was essentially a 'transmitter' that connected the human brain to an unknown place where information was received, and we couldn't decipher the electrical signals in it, so we had to use other ideas......"

"Wait, you mean to say that you used living people?! That place is a medulla oblongata, do you really dare to do it? ”

"Does it matter?"

Zhou Yang frowned, he heard the taste of indifference to life from this indifferent sentence.

"Our experimenters are all voluntary, and you have to know that our technical strength is not as bad as the outside world thinks."

As if to explain, Chu Zhengxuan added, but it made the discomfort in Zhou Yang's heart more and more prominent, and the expressionless face gave him a perfunctory feeling.

He frowned, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and continued to ask, "What did they see?" ”

"It's very strange to see something." Chu Zhengxuan frowned slightly, this was the first time Zhou Yang had seen an expression of emotion on this face: "They all said that they entered a grassland, uh...... This grassland gives a very false sense of including the people and tribes above, and the people inside seem to completely ignore these outsiders, and only one of them is able to communicate......

Officer Zhou, what's wrong with you? ”
