Chen Feng's breathing was faintly short.

He learned to control his emotions at an early age. So most of the time, he was an objective seeker. But at this moment, it is precisely because of objectivity that he cannot be detached.

In front of him was a three-dimensional array that flickered constantly. A simple regular grid divides a small space into countless small cubes. Each cube has twenty-six adjacent cubes around it. Each cube represents a human individual. Every human being has a finite state - pan-believers, shallow believers, devout believers, fanatical believers, orthodox believers, shamans, and gods.

Of these, only the gods are fixed.

Each individual can influence the twenty-six individuals around him—the twenty-six people closest to him in his relationship. Each of these twenty-six new individuals has the opportunity to become a believer. If, however, a few units of time have passed, no one around them has changed, then there is a chance that the individual's level of devotion will decrease. On the other hand, if you are surrounded by believers, you are much more likely to increase your level of devotion.

As for the change of rules, it is a complex set of game rules. More than 10 steps, more than 100 scenarios, and nearly 10,000 events...... Every unit of time, all individuals experience a limited choice. Jarvis's computational power simulates "history". And under the choices of countless individuals, Shinto is either growing or dying.

Chen Feng asked, "Why, obviously the same mechanism chosen and the same mechanism of judgment, the situation of different Shinto is so different?"

Wang Qi put his feet on the table and spread his hands: "It's all said that this is an unproven algorithm, and I can't see through its trend." No one can see through it either—but. Isn't that what history is? unpredictable. ”

History is a giant chaotic model. No matter how great a wise man is, he can only find this "necessity in chance." It is not possible to predict a certain time accurately. For example, classical economists predicted economic crises and the Great Depression, but no one could predict the exact timing and extent of it.

Historical necessity exists, and all necessity is necessity in chance. It rolls forward, unstoppable, untwistable, but never precisely in a straight line.

Chen Feng looked at the evolution of the "Shinto" obsessively and asked, "This." Can you optimize it a little more?"

"I think it's strong enough to recreate history perfectly. At the same time, Wang Qi said that he was also summarizing the laws reflected in the model, and at the same time writing new rules based on these laws.

The algorithm of the cellular automata, Wang Qi once used it on the Ten Thousand Immortals Fantasy Realm, and what he said to Feng Luoyi was "an algorithm written to measure the performance of the computer", and later found that it was unexpectedly easy to use, so he used it.

Cellular automata are not determined by strictly defined physical equations or functions, but by a set of model-constructed rules. There is no fixed mathematical formula for its construction, and the way it is composed is complicated. There are many variants and complex behaviors. So. The system is simple, it's simple, but when it's complicated, it's also terrifying. As far as Wang Qi knows, anyone who can play with cellular automata and write a monograph specifically for it is basically qualified to win an iron job in the mathematics department of a university such as Oxbridge.

As for the "precision" that Chen Feng said he hoped for, it was even more impossible. This is originally a chaotic system, and even if it is an arithmetic of the level of Jun Pang Jialai, there is no way to make the chaotic model show an inevitable appearance.

Tatsukaze sighed, and looked at another model that he didn't actually understand, a finite-dimensional Hilbert space, "The Doctrine of Shinto".

Chen Feng knows that the most valuable thing about this model is not those problems, but ideas. Wang Qi asked 23 questions, which were still not enough to encapsulate all aspects of Shinto teachings. However, these problems can be changed and replaced. For Wang Qi, it is nothing more than changing the names of several dimensions

These two alone are remarkable achievements.

Xiang Yu summarized the laws of the doctrine, and then wrote them out in the form of a game, substituting them into the model of the cellular automata......

Tatsukaze's Adam's apple moved up and down. He wanted to pat Wang Qi on the shoulder and say, "I was right," or laugh three times and pull the guy to drink.

However, Wang Qi said leisurely: "Boss, don't be too happy, I still have problems here that have not been solved." ”

Chen Feng rubbed his nose, calmed down, and said, "You say." ”

"First of all, this doctrinal model is actually the simplest and most crude way to do it. I have discarded all the mysteries and philosophies of Shinto teachings, nor have I systematically expounded the precepts - although it seems to me that one of these things is all dross, but they are also the cornerstone of Shinto, an integral part of the Shinto order, and the part that has the greatest influence on Shinto believers, and they must be studied. I don't have a good idea of this for the time being. ”

Second, this cellular automata model is a study of Shinto itself as a separate body from the larger system of humanity. Note that it does not simulate 'Shinto', but 'a single Shinto sect'. ”

On Earth, religion is also divided into broad and narrow senses. Religious studies in the broad sense encompasses value judgments and normative studies, does not shy away from value judgments about religion, and focuses on the authenticity and acceptability of religious experiences, propositions, beliefs, etc., which are more theologians or philosophers than scientists in the social sciences. And Wang Qi, a mathematician and physicist, would naturally disdain this line of thinking.

His approach to research is narrowly defined. Treat Shinto and sects as simple systems, without considering anything else, and depict the structure of Shinto in the most objective and rigorous way.

For Wang Qi, this method is the right way. But he also had to remind Chenfeng that this path was not perfect for the time being, and that other ways were needed to supplement it.

Chen Feng nodded: "I understand." I don't expect to break down the entire humanity in one fell swoop. If you can analyze a sect, then this method can always find a generalization, to summarize the whole Shinto, and then analyze the law, analyze the goods, analyze the morality, ......"

The Reckoning Master Philip once said that the question of particularity is equally important, because it is the breakthrough that leads to the general.

Although Wang Qi's model is not perfect, there are many deficiencies. However, this has been able to give Chenfeng some sense of touch. The Shinto practices that he had only forcibly made a few times before, but had never understood, appeared in his mind one by one.

Building a Shinto ...... Building a Shinto ......

Chen Feng's eyes suddenly turned sharp. He looked at the surveillance screen that was pushed aside by Wang Qi and said, "It's a pity." ”

"What's wrong?" Wang Qi pretended to be confused.

"Your evidence is against the law!"

Wang Qi snapped his fingers: "Jarvis, which Immortal League law did I violate?"

"There is no felony for the time being, sir. But I must remind you that it is a violation of the rights of others to spy on others in their revision of the law without permission. I don't recommend that. ”

Wang Qi put his feet down, spread his hands and said, "Oh." Civil. They don't prosecute, and you, as a discipliner, can only regulate. ”

Chen Feng said angrily: "Don't pretend to be confused! You are building a Shinto and establishing a Divine Sect! This is harming the interests of those eight people!"

"Anyway, they can only be the house slaves of the nobles of Shenjing for the rest of their lives, and it is best to mix them into a quick golden pill, which is not as good as the ancient method of building a foundation. After my verification, what are the dissatisfaction with their proper Jindan top combat power?" Wang Qi blinked: "As for the Shinto, I set up the Shinto? Just kidding? Jarvis, replay the picture of me educating those boys. ”

Several light curtains appeared in front of Chen Feng and quickly pulled them through. A trace of confusion appeared in Chen Feng's eyes: "You are ......"

"No divine power, no magic, no divine name, no sainthood. Wang Qi said: "This is Shinto?"

Chen Feng said: "Then you also violated the principles of 'knowing' and 'voluntary'. This principle ......"

"This is a single-blind empirical evidence, and it's okay not to tell the whole story now, as long as you swear to tell them later. ”

Later...... Hehe, after you brainwashed it successfully, right......

"Furthermore, I will never let these precious experimental questions and samples go wrong, this empirical evidence will only last for a few years at most, and it will not harm anyone else. Believe me, as a reward, I will build them into super-first-class Jindan monks, and those of the Ring Principle may not have the opportunity to transform into the current Dharma cultivation after my transformation. ”

Chen Feng closed his eyes: "You are indeed the perfect circumvention of the Immortal Alliance Law...... I'll talk to you about the theory later, but this empirical ......"

I'm not involved.

Before Chen Feng said the last few words, Wang Qi showed an Amway smile: "Friend, I have a big topic here that is beneficial in the present and merit in the future, do you want to come and get a piece of the pie?"

Chen Feng said suspiciously: "What is the big topic? It is still beneficial in the present generation, and the merit is in the future?"

"Establish a life for the people and open peace for all generations. Wang Qi said: "You said it before, humanity is a system that can attract aura, but in this system, the circulating aura is not in people. ”

"That's right. ”

"So, what if we turn this aura into mana, and not concentrate it on individual gods or witches, but spread it to all races?"

Chen Feng was taken aback: "You want to?"

"Everyone has immortal cultivation. Wang Qi propped up the table with his hand, stood up, and shouted with excitement on his face: "Or, everyone is like a dragon, and the world is the same!"

Due to the laws of heaven and earth, the achievements of the immortal civilization have always been difficult to benefit mortals. This can be regarded as the law of heaven and earth. When the ancient demon clan was civilized, the demon clan did not regard beasts as the same kind. Before and after enlightenment are two worlds. The human race is better, but the role of mortals is only to give birth to more geniuses, and perhaps also serve as refining materials and incense sources.

However, heaven and earth have no heart, people have hearts, and I establish the heart of heaven with my own deeds. (To be continued......)
