Chapter 151 Theoretical Model Is Really Difficult to Build

The first is the "scope" of the target.

This scope is the overlap scope with the concept of "rumor".

The concept of "rumor" is a circle.

His ability is derived from "rumor", and he is not sure whether his ability has extended from the circle of the concept of "rumor".

Maybe it is still in this circle, and it is a part of this circle.

According to the current situation, the scope of his core ability "rumor" is expanding when he is promoted from the real scale to the phenomenon scale.

From the beginning, there was only one ability that could ignore the preconditions by consuming additional mental power, to the second ability that could disguise the appearance by consuming mental power.

The degree of fit will change with the scale of the ability.

To illustrate it with an image, it is the change in the size of the area overlapped by the change in the radius of the circle.

What Yao Yan cares about is whether the "fit" is calculated according to the proportional size or the absolute number of the overlapping area?

If it is the former, then from his own perspective, as his own mental scale expands, the ability fit will increase.

However, similarly, the secondary spiritual abilities he has contained and assimilated will also increase as his spiritual scale increases.

It is difficult to explain with a plane figure.

But if "rumors" are regarded as a sphere whose radius will expand, and his secondary abilities are polyhedrons in the shape of cubes, cones, cuboids, etc. that will expand as his scale expands.

In the case of equal-proportional expansion, the shape expansion of the polyhedron may be proportionally smaller in size due to different directions as it expands.

For example, a cylinder facing the center of the sphere.

After all, he was a science and engineering graduate during his lifetime, so he could not be unaware of the impact of theoretical models on judgment.

Whether the theoretical model is a two-dimensional plane figure or a three-dimensional solid figure, or even a four-dimensional model that humans cannot intuitively understand, the impact on the result is no joke.

He raised his claws and gently scratched a few marks on the roof of the abandoned building.

Moreover, the most critical point is not just this. Whether the conceptual model of "rumors" is a sphere is still a question that cannot be confirmed at present.

What if the scope of the "rumor" is a cylinder, cone, triangular pyramid, or a flat cube like a wooden board?

Also, is it "solid"? What if it is in the shape of a hollow cement brick?

As the scale expands, will the compatibility of a certain ability even drop to zero?

Although Yao Yan understands the simple and effective principle of "do not increase entities unless necessary", this is a practical principle at the operational level, proposed to reduce the waste of time and energy, and is not a natural law that must take effect.

There are many more problems with the theoretical model.

For example, whether his other secondary abilities will expand proportionally with his abilities.

Whether they are proportional, whether they are at the same time, will his own scale expansion affect his abilities? In the three-dimensional model, will the three-dimensional objects represented by the secondary abilities change direction and spatial position?

However, now, Yao Yan can only suppress this idea in his mind, follow the principle of simplicity and effectiveness, put all these random guesses aside, and choose abilities by sensing compatibility.

However, in the process of promotion, you can carefully feel whether the compatibility of these abilities has changed.

In that Sunstone world, he was not idle. For more than ten years, he was constantly polluting and devouring the human spirit.

When he left the world, his spiritual power limit was saturated. If he continued to devour the promotion power without assimilation, his body would begin to collapse. After obtaining the One-Eyed Crow, he was sure that he could start to be promoted again-

towards the "effect" level.

After being promoted to the effect level, he could raise the upper limit of his spiritual power again.

In the process of promotion, he had to carefully observe the changes in the degree of fit of his ability scale.

In this way, he should be able to understand the model of the scope of his ability to a certain extent.

In addition to the scope, there is.

The second is "ambiguity".

The object of the target that the ability can affect and the degree of ambiguity of the effect of the ability.

In fact, he is not very clear about this.

Because this is just a summary of the secondary abilities he has after arranging them.

The range of the black crow and the deformed shadow crow, that is, the scope of the rumor and the draft, is very vague.

The black crow can have a very diverse image, and its own ability performance is very vague.

The same is true for the deformed shadow crow.

From this point of view, the big-mouthed crow is also quite vague.

The black-and-white crow is quite specific, and the form of its effect is very clear, which is offensive destruction.

The target of the fire-reversing crow is very vague, but the way to achieve the effect is very clear, which is to restore and increase resistance.

Yao Yan believes that the ranking of the degree of fit of "one-eyed crow, big-mouthed crow, black-and-white crow, black crow, deformed shadow crow, and fire-reversing crow" is related to the size of the ability itself.

His crows have different sizes.

And this size difference, in his opinion, is the degree of correspondence with the concept.

In terms of proportion, it is close to "concept completeness".

The one-eyed crow is the largest and most complete, followed by the black-and-white crow, then the big-mouthed crow, then the black crow and the deformed shadow crow, and finally the fire-reversing crow.

The black and white crow is nearly twice as big as the big-mouthed crow, but the degree of fit is lower than that of the big-mouthed crow.

The black crow and the deformed shadow crow are only about half of the big-mouthed crow, not to mention the smallest fire-reversing crow.

Putting aside the possibility that "the size of different abilities is different under complete conditions", the conclusion he came to is the ambiguity of the object and specific form of the ability.

The black and white crow and the fire-reversing crow are the most clear and the most effective, but because of the influence of completeness, one can be ranked behind the big-mouthed crow, and the other can only be ranked at the end.

To omit the process in the laziest words and only talk about the results, that is -

The overlapping range of the concept of the ability prototype and whether the ability effect is certain enough.

Add the degree of completeness of the ability, and it constitutes the three elements of fit.

Once again, the simplification operation without considering distortion is "correlation", "ambiguity" and "completeness".

However, "completeness" is strictly speaking not one of the elements.

Because in the first theoretical model, the "complete" shape of a sphere is very likely a polyhedron such as a cone triangular pyramid.

In different intervals, the degree of fit may decrease as the integrity increases.

Moreover, this judgment standard is limited to himself.

Logically speaking, relevance can be used as a universal standard for judgment.

However, his "ambiguity" is based on the vague nature of "rumors".
