Chapter 1103 Endless Music Festival
Things in Xiangshan's eyes have changed.
After downloading information from DNA, the long polypeptide chain becomes a rope with specified characteristics. Each of the many links that make up this long chain attracts or repels other parts due to its own charge. Such an unstable structure cannot be maintained for a long time. The fundamental laws of the universe will require it to fall to the most stable and lowest energy state.
People like Xiangshan may use the metaphor of "knotting the headphone cable".
But this is actually an inappropriate metaphor. The main function of the headphone cable is not "to tie a knot".
The polypeptide chain that carries information exists to fold into protein. It has a spontaneous purpose.
The originally unconscious nature, in the nearly infinite probability and spontaneous choice, has produced a landscape that is almost "purposeful".
On this "chain", the charge carried by each "link" is transformed into a tiny vector, pushing the long chain to fold in the specified direction, causing the whole to fall until the total energy of the system is reduced to the minimum.
This process is not random, but in chaos...
"Purpose"? "Intention"?
No, it's "notes".
As a teenager, Yogmoth Voigt spent a lot of time on music. There is another system in his brain, which is irrational and non-rigorous, and can occupy "brain resources for processing emotions and irrational thinking" to think rhythmically. Perhaps in his youth, this system was also incorporated into another system-the harsh world built by cold rationality, the world that belongs not only to him but also to all members of the scientific community.
Xiangshan couldn't express this feeling, and I'm afraid Yogmoth himself didn't realize it. This ability does not occur consciously, but is a patch that is spontaneously generated by the non-precision instrument of the brain during long-term operation.
In Yogmoth's eyes, the tiny vectors of the folding of the long polypeptide chains on the left and right are a pair of invisible hands playing invisible music.
And the reactions that occur every moment in the cells are the magnificent movement completed by countless invisible musicians.
But this "grand movement" is nothing like a symphony, with a strict chapter structure and precise coordination. It is full of simple and rough cooperation, with a lot of improvisations, and almost out of control but miraculously harmonious collaboration...
Free and unrestrained form.
Rather than saying it is "vital", it is better to say that this is "life itself".
Xiangshan couldn't help but touch his chin and thought: "Although this guy Yog has hardly touched any musical instruments since college. But he may also have the potential to compose music? It's just that he thinks "music" is a talent he has given up... his own inherent concept."
Yawgmoth used to love music. So he would feel that he did not have the ability to reap the fruits of the music kingdom without devoting himself to music.
Just like Xiangshan did not think that he could conduct high-end biological research after accepting the legacy of the Ninth Martial God.
Consciousness has put shackles on himself invisibly.
Yawgmoth actually has considerable performance skills. When fighting side by side with Xiangshan during the Secret War, many "attracting attention" concepts were also thought up by him. The Ninth Martial God is actually "AI playing 'Yawgmoth playing Xiangshan'". Yawgmoth used countless politicians and orators to strengthen the Ninth Martial God's charisma, but the Ninth Martial God's professional skills as a singer were not optimized too much by deep learning. It was just that Yawgmoth's own skills were further developed and combined with Xiangshan's own way of thinking.
Ignoring the "depth" accumulated by human knowledge and ignoring the high degree of specialization of disciplines, forcibly saying "the great way is simple, so there is no difference in the top", is actually a great disrespect for predecessors.
But all human skills are nothing more than the result of the human brain reflecting the external world. It must be something that exists in the human brain and can be accommodated by the biological brain.
Humans created "language", but language really cannot accommodate truth. It is a tool for hunter-gatherers to exchange information, and it was not expected to accommodate truth when it was created. Therefore, all wise men in the world define "truth" as something that cannot be expressed, written down, or idolized.
Only fools will tirelessly seek and record their observations of the world in words. Those soulless words, after several times of "seeking the greatest common divisor" operations, somehow transformed into science.
But until now, science still does not contain the truth.
At the frontier of science, at the boundary of human cognition, the greatest scientist lost the magic of "language". He faced the unknown, things that had never been described in words or paradigms. His situation was no different from that of his ancestors 100,000 years ago.
He could only face the unpredictable world with the undetermined part of his mind.
Outside the boundaries of human reason, the universe looks so unlovable when it falls into human eyes.
Reason may not be able to truly deal with the most primitive understanding in the human brain.
Every scholar has trouble explaining the original source of his inspiration. Ramanujan, a mathematician from India, described all his mathematical understanding as the secrets revealed to him by the goddess Lakshmi in a dream. And his mathematical friend Hardy was the hardest atheist. What Hardy seeks is "beauty". He described it this way, "We may not know what a beautiful poem means, but this does not prevent us from recognizing a beautiful poem when we read it."
Those original inspirations take very different forms among different scientists. It could be Ramanujan's god, the poetry Hardy sought, the improvisations on Einstein's violin, the mystery Newton sought in scriptural texts.
Regardless of the source, these ideas became a harmonious system after they were put into writing.
"Why? Is it because of... the use of brain resources? Rational thinking always has resources that cannot be used? So resort to irrational thinking? Because of long-term thinking, the irrational part is also included in one's own thinking. In the system?”
"The human brain has its limits after all, so..."
Ah, yes.
Similar techniques already exist in internal strength.
That is, through synesthesia, the original functions of the brain are invaded, and part of the brain resources that are originally focused on processing sensory information are invested in the attack and defense of computers to achieve magical hacking skills.
Xiangshan and others used drugs, surgery, meditation and long-term technical training to achieve this state.
The Fools' long search is the original version of this training form. The purpose is somewhat different from the current internal strength, but the essence is similar.
Meditation is a psychological therapy summarized by the ancients in accordance with the nature of the brain.
"I have to lament once again that two hundred years ago we were forced to be too utilitarian." Xiang Shan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "The prelude to the cognitive revolution has actually appeared long ago."
This is the "rock music festival" in Yawgmoth's heart, the great movement of life.
Something Xiangshan had never seen before.
"You have to admit, I really stretched my hips in this area, very much." "Fanatical" closed his eyes, seeming to listen to the rock music beats between the polypeptide chain modeling, "Xiang Shan rarely glimpses such a landscape."
"Yes. For example, when we find a way to reveal Ogun's secret..."
“Is the inspiration of ‘a bolt of lightning piercing the night sky’ comparable to this ‘endless music festival’?”
Xiangshan was silent for a long time.
"Okay, okay, I admit that I am far behind in this aspect. I am the Oppenheimer type, and he is the Einstein type. The revolutionary division of labor is different, and there is no hierarchy."
Before entering the Ogun project, both Yingjia and Kanbara were committed to finding the source of their outstanding language talents. They want to put into words why they can acquire language.
What about everyone else?
Zhu Xinyu uses "intuition".
What about Anatole?
"This is really... quite interesting."
Xiangshan cut off the connection with the external device. He finally heard the music lingering in his ears.
He thought of another possibility.
Perhaps it is because the human brain is "not big enough" to accommodate two peak skills, so for some people, this situation has changed, and one skill is integrated into another less related skill. A form that only one can understand, elucidating the "external unknown" and "one's own sensibility."
but……
"Ah, yes, Cybermen can rely on external devices to continuously expand their brains."
Xiangshan is an expert in the skills that ordinary people can improve, such as laboratory team building and project management, but he has never seen such a scene.
And with the information brought by the Ninth Martial God, he finally saw the world in the eyes of a genius with the help of Yawgmoth's perspective.
Xiangshan thought: "What else do I need now?"
What kind of renovation plan? What kind of training method?
Xiangshan once again immersed himself in the "endless music festival".
He thought it might be almost done. The synthetic path he desired.
