Chapter 3362 Self-Correction

The text messages that came out of the glass box were like black clouds covering the sky and the sun.

When Butler Fan put the glass box on the table, the feeling of shelter covered most of the restaurant; in this case, the field of vision, let alone blind spots, directly turned into black vision.

Angor thought for a while and closed his eyes.

 Two seconds later, Angel opened his eyes, and the text information around him was "refreshed" and disappeared. As long as Angel doesn't carefully examine the glass box, these unsightly black clouds of text will not appear again.

 Not only Angel, but also Laplace and Morrigan clearly have the "refreshing" action of closing their eyes.

Steward Fan, who was standing at the table, seemed to have foreseen this situation. After everyone had "refreshed" the information, he pointed to the glass box and said: "What's in this is living things with words."

 The glass box is said to be glass, but in fact it is not transparent and is somewhat similar to frosted glass. You can vaguely see the black shadow inside, but you can't see everything exactly what it is.

As for the glass box in front of them, everyone could see that the lower half was filled with thick and quiet black shadows, as if it contained...soil?

 The surface of the soil is empty, at least no outline can be seen through the frosted glass.

 Butler Fan opened the lid of the glass box at the right time.

After opening the lid, Angel saw, as expected, that the bottom was covered with thick black soil.

 However, there is still nothing visible above the black soil.

Either the "literal living thing" that Fan Guanjia calls a transparent existence, or it is hidden in the black soil.

If it were truly a transparent living creature, there shouldn't be a layer of soil underneath it, so Angel personally prefers it, and the answer is more likely to be the latter.

However, this glass box is not big in the first place, and the living text is still hidden in the black soil. Wouldn’t it be even smaller?

 “Is it an insect? Or some kind of mini snake?” Angel thought to himself, and tried to use his mental power to penetrate into the soil.

However, before Angel's mental tentacles could emerge, he saw the middle of the soil move, and a pink silk thread exposed half of its head.

 When he saw the pink thread, Angel was silent for a long time.

 Not only Angel, but also Laplace was a little surprised.

Yes, this piece of pink silk thread is exactly the literal living creature contained in the glass box, and it is not the insect or mini snake that Angel suspected, but an...earthworm.

 Pink earthworms swayed slowly in the black soil, like miniature earth dragons turning over, bringing up some dust and mud.

“Are you disappointed to see it’s an earthworm?” Butler Fan’s voice came to my ears.

Angor shook his head: "No, I just didn't expect it to be an earthworm."

Butler Fan smiled and said, "I chose earthworms because I just got to this point."

When Ea began to create textual animals, he chose lower invertebrates. Starting with sponges and amoeba, he gradually advanced to hydra and schistosomiasis. Now he has just crossed over to linear animals and entered the Ring animal. The representative of ring-shaped animals is earthworms.

 So, even though what Butler Fan took out was just a small earthworm, what it actually carried behind it were generations of invertebrates.

 Today's earthworms are the latest product after many generations, and they are also the most advanced living creatures with writing that Ea has studied so far.

 After listening to Butler Fan’s explanation, Angel looked a little surprised. He originally thought that Ea's creation of living creatures was similar to Greya's, directly transcending countless generations and boldly entering the mysterious and extraordinary realm.

What I didn’t expect was that Ea’s creation of living creatures followed a progression theory from low to high.

Angor's expression was not concealed. Butler Fan saw this and asked directly: "Mr. Angor is surprised?"

Angor thought for a moment and said, "In the Southern Region, there is actually a wizard who is good at creating things..."

Angel gave a general account of Greya’s situation.

After listening to this, Steward Fan nodded with understanding: "So that's it. Sir, he accidentally discovered the different ways of creating things."

After a pause, Butler Fan explained: "Actually, there is no need to worry too much about these. If the wizard you are talking about is really a creature, then she has either been close to or even mastered part of the laws of creation."

“Literal creatures are not actually real creations, and are still far away from the laws of creation.”

“After all, words are just words, and there is still a difference between them and real living things.”

Butler Fan's explanation is actually indirect. In terms of "creation" comparison, the mysterious dragon cannot be compared with Greia.

However, they are different tracks in themselves.

Graia is a real creation, a literal creation of Mysterious Dragon, more similar to a "virtual creation".

Butler Fan: "As for why written creatures choose to advance from generation to generation, it's because at the end of the day, written creatures are still written..."

 “To use words to express meaning, you must use logic.”

  The logic of words will also be reflected in the text space.

If you want to create a living creature with words, you must follow the logic of words and write the advanced process step by step.

"As you just saw, the text messages floating above the earthworms are like black clouds. In fact, these text messages are not all describing earthworms, but also their predecessors, those sponges, schistosomiasis...etc. Words need logic and writing is vivid. Things must also be determined based on logic. Without the benchmarks of predecessors, it will be difficult to write subsequent exciting stories.”

“Similarly, if our next step of text creation advances to squid, octopus and other molluscs, then there will be more text information on their heads, which must also contain information related to earthworms.”

 Writing follows logic, and living creatures with words must also survive under the chain of logic.

 Hearing this, Angel completely understood.

 Everything in the text space is, to put it bluntly, logic, or an “algorithm”. It is somewhat similar to editing a program. If the program needs to be run, it must be written according to the established algorithm.

 The more difficult it is, the more complicated it is.

"However, the ontology has begun to study ways to save the redundant description of large films." Butler Fan said this, pointing to the gloves that Morrigan had written before: "For example, this pair of gloves, if it is based on the original text description, it is also a pair of gloves. Large articles, which can now be created with just a paragraph, are the results of similar research.”

“I think Ms. Laplace will be familiar with this matter.”

Butler Fan specifically pointed out Laplace. As Aya's current body, he knew that Laplace had come into contact with the initial version of the "Secrets in the Book".

 Laplace also nodded obediently.

Indeed, if you want to create a pair of gloves in the first version of the "Secrets in the Book", it would be difficult to create a pair of gloves without writing a long essay, starting with the creation of the world and the sprouting of all things.

Nowadays, you can create something with just one sentence. This is the progress of Ea.

 The creation of dead things can already be simplified; in the future, it will not be impossible to simplify the creation of living things.

 …

After Butler Fan finished describing the general situation, he placed the glass box in front of Angel and Laplace and allowed them to study it.

　　After Angel got out of the glass box, he looked at it carefully and found that the "text creation" was really interesting.

This kind of fun is not reflected in earthworms.

 But "black soil".

Angor couldn't pry into this living earthworm because the information was too complicated. He could only look at other written information. As a result, he discovered the difference in "black soil".

 The black soil in the glass box seems to be the same kind at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find two different descriptions.

 One of the descriptions is: "Black soil: a special soil with good fertility that can promote growth..."

 Another description is: "Fertile black soil: a special soil with signs of earthworm activity, excellent fertility, and can promote growth..."

It is also black soil, but because the trajectories of earthworm activity are different, two completely different text messages are presented.

Angor also asked Butler Fan.

 I learned from Butler Fan that in fact, black soil at the beginning had the first type of written information. Later, as earthworms moved in and settled in the black soil, part of the black soil began to change.

 Yes, it was not Ea who took the initiative to change it, but the "program" in the dark that corrected itself.

　　Previously, when Angel described the smell of the saliva of the Devil-eating Kao, the text information was also revised, but the correction at that time was to delete the extraordinary effect.

 In a sense, it is changing for the worse.

 But this self-correction is obviously a change for the better.

Even though it may seem like a difference of just one word, there is a huge difference in it.

 The reason for going bad is that it has not reached this stage yet and the internal logic cannot support it; but for the better, it is a manifestation of self-improvement, which means that the logical chain is enriching itself.

  If we make an analogy, it is a rigid program, and the other is moving towards an intelligent program.

This seems to imply a logic: if there are more creatures created by words, whether living or dead, then everything here will become more self-consistent due to the richness of the logical chain of words.

 Isn’t this the evolution of AI?

 Just because Angel discovered this, he became more interested in text creation... It would be great if a similar ability could be replicated in the Dream Crystal.

I don’t know if Mysterious Dragon’s “Book of Time” talent is a gift from the will of the world. If so, maybe it can trigger the experience copy? At that time, you can use the Book of Time talent to derive "Secrets in the Book" and create text space...

Angor told Laplace his thoughts through the psychic tether.

 Mainly, since Laplace knows the talent of the "Book of Time", he may also be able to judge whether this talent is a gift from the will of the world.

 However, after hearing this, Laplace shook his head: "No, this is a bloodline talent of the mysterious dragon."

  In other words, all arcane dragons have similar talents. Although... there seems to be only one mysterious dragon now.

Angor was a little disappointed when he heard this. It seemed that the idea of ​​building a text space in the Crystal Plain of Dreams was not feasible.

However, just when Angel was sighing to himself, Laplace added: "Having said that, if you want to create a text space in the Crystal Plain of Dreams, why should you consider the talent of the mysterious dragon and directly convert this painting , can’t we just drag it into the Crystal Plain of Dreams?”

　　Just like when Angel pulled the Rabbit Building into the Crystal Plains of Dreams.

Hearing Laplace's words, Angel was stunned for a moment: It seems to be right... Why are you just thinking about talents? Can't you use Dream Conch?

Angor suddenly slapped his head. It seemed that he had been observing the experience copy before, so his mind was filled with the experience copy and he had forgotten his "original intention".

Angor looked at Laplace and said, "How about asking Mr. Eya to borrow a painting?"

 Laplace nodded: "Yes, but do you plan to tell the secret dragon about the dream conch?"

Angor fell into a brief silence, and finally shook his head.

Although Dream Crystal Plains did not use the Dream Conch too much, the importance of the Dream Conch will not diminish. Its importance is comparable to the nightmare realm itself.

 Tell Laplace about the conch dream because they trust each other.

Angor was reluctant to tell Eya, whom he met for the first time.

 Laplace: "I understand, I will handle the matter of borrowing the painting."

If Angel had gone there, Eya probably wouldn't have borrowed the money without getting to the bottom of it; but Laplace didn't have this problem. As the "teacher" Eya recognized in his heart, Eya even had doubts. , will also respect Laplace's decision.

Angel thanked Laplace.

 Laplace: "No problem, I also want to know whether the space for words can be reproduced in the Crystal Plain of Dreams."

 Laplace's eyes flashed with interest.

She is not very interested in creating text in the outside world, but if it is done in the Crystal Plain of Dreams, then she will be very interested...

Everything in the Crystal Plains of Dreams is a place of fun in Laplace's eyes. She is very happy to enrich the various "modules" of Dream Crystal. This feeling of perfecting the rules and perfecting the world step by step is also a kind of practice for Laplace.

Even, Laplace vaguely felt that whether he could break through the shackles would depend on the Crystal Plain of Dreams.

 For this reason, it was impossible for Laplace to refuse Angel's proposal.

She even thought that if she wanted to borrow a text space, she would need to borrow a larger one. This restaurant was really a bit petty... How about going to Eya to customize a text space that is larger and easier to use?

On the other side, Angel didn't know that Laplace had already thought of asking Ea to do "haute couture". He was still observing Heitu.

However, this time he was not just observing, he also did some other small experiments.

Anger used a piece of white paper to write down various nutrients, and through step-by-step textualization, he finally mixed them into a plate of high-quality fertilizer.

He plans to add fertilizer to the black soil, and see if the text can be automatically corrected through this external addition and interference.

Following Angel's series of operations, the black soil really changed.
