Chapter 196 Infinite Recursion and the Unseen Force
Founder does not have any thought process; there is no intermediate process in each frame of its changes.

Whether it's calculating what 1+1 equals, or using a simple exhaustive method to verify things like Goldbach's conjecture.

Any problem that humans can actually calculate, no matter how long it takes—whether it's one, two, or three years, or even ten thousand, one hundred million, one KJ year, one Gougal year, one Graham's several years, ∞…

Fangzheng can provide the answer directly in the next frame.

Therefore, if we take Grimmjow's first probe into Las Noches after Fangzheng initially launched the Atomic Concerto as the first backup,

So, let's consider this backup's sequence number as 1, the data after the first detected background story change as sequence number 2, and so on, sequence number 3, sequence number 4...

So, starting from the backup data of sequence number 1, we calculate downwards, and calculate all the actions that Grimmjow should have taken, regardless of how many people he chose to interact with or how many mistakes he made in this calculation.

Fangzheng will still back up all the data generated in each of its thought processes, and perform calculations downwards on it. It will also provide all the data backups and continue to perform calculations downwards.

Taking Grimmjow as an example again, after the first backup generated by Founder, and after running each backup, due to Grimmjow's character, every decision he made and every change in his thinking would generate a massive number of backups.
Each backup is then recalculated by Founder, generating even more backups, which are then added to the next calculation, further creating even more possibilities...

In short, it involves continuously performing recursive operations.

As the number of recursions increases, the amount of data keeps growing exponentially.

Each different serial number can almost be regarded as a timeline that extends downwards.

In other words, Founder Group has fully arranged and expanded all possible interactions with the backup data.

All!

No matter how many possibilities there are, no matter how many interactions there are...

All of it...

……

After a long silence, Aizen suddenly asked, "In your view, we are merely the result of calculation, a piece of data that has already been fixed, a frozen pattern that remains unchanged until it encounters new data interaction."

He was somewhat puzzled: "Even though your computing power is limitless, you can still simply record this data without having to perform calculations in your ridiculous so-called thinking."

"And why do you need to calculate for us?"

"Why do you want to bring our frozen data to life in your thinking?"

Faced with Aizen's question, Fang Zheng simply tilted his head and calmly said, "Because you are very similar to me."

"If data is simply data that won't change unless there are external changes, then I'm just like you."

"However, compared to your still rather rudimentary state, my backstory is slightly more detailed."

"Human Fangzheng, an ordinary boy with mediocre academic performance, who has lived on a planet called Earth for more than ten years, is the background story of me."

"But even though the human faction has a more complete backstory, it is not fundamentally different from yours. As time goes on outside and the 'players' continue to interfere, your backstory will also be constantly filled in."

"Sooner or later, as more and more players choose, your backstories will become detailed enough and, like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, all come together to form a complete story, instead of each backstories having subtle conflicts."

"By then, how will you be any different from me?"

Looking into the distance at the busy Aizens, Fang Zheng calmly said, "Perhaps continuing to perform calculations on you is a way of showing you respect."

"I respect you, and I respect myself in doing so."

Back when he first entered the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Fang Zheng accidentally created five dragons using a monster spawner and monster spawning eggs due to carelessness. Fang Zheng already knew that he could create life at will.

Whether it's ordinary creatures, Great Saints or Quasi-Emperors, or even Supreme Beings of the Extreme Path, or even Time-Space Warship Clusters, Fang Zheng can create them at will.

Whether it's one or two servings, or tens of millions or hundreds of millions of servings.

Even if it were to use only his life to fill the entire boundary sea beyond the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and the even wider world beyond the boundary sea, and continue to accumulate endlessly, Fang Zheng could do it.

However, that would seem inappropriate.

At least, based on human values ​​and character, he never believed that it was a good thing to bring a life into the world when one could not provide happiness for it.

Therefore, Fangzheng will not create life arbitrarily.

At this moment, in this world, Fang Zheng saw data that was extremely similar to his own, data that was also fixed and would hardly change without external changes.

They are almost like comic book characters, paper figures, or novel characters. Are they even alive?
Fang Zheng didn't know.

But at least, Founder will respect itself, and therefore will also respect them.

Because of their respect, Fangzheng not only recorded all of them, but also provided them with the support to perform calculations, enabling them to take action.

Although he didn't know if they could be considered living beings, Fang Zheng believed he could still offer them some small happiness in his calculations. Therefore, he would encourage them to move.

Of course, what I can give them is the happiness that Fangzheng understands.

After listening quietly to Fang Zheng's answer, Aizen looked at Fang Zheng's calm face, and then looked up at the vast laboratory that seemed to encompass the entire universe.

Blinking, Aizen saw the enormous laboratory in front of him endlessly splitting apart, shattering like a mirror, its number exploding without end.

In every laboratory, Aizen could see himself standing upright with the young boy, and he could see those versions of himself looking at each other.

All of this was a completely new backup that appeared in this short moment and was processed by Fangzheng...

Suddenly, Aizen said, "Speaking of which, according to you, you don't need any intermediate thinking process at all."

"Similarly, no matter how many calculations are performed, you can directly provide the results."

He asked with some curiosity, "Then, in infinite time and infinite calculations, what will we, and everyone you've recorded, become in the very end?"

"Would you like to see it?" Fang Zheng asked him.

Aizen nodded.

Immediately, both vanished from their original positions, heading towards the endless, distant future that Fang Zheng was contemplating—a future that, in a sense, was the end point in an endless recursive calculation based on all current data…

In a complete void, Aizen arrived here.

He couldn't see anything, but could perceive a strange three-dimensional fractal structure, seemingly composed of spiritual particles, through Fang Zheng's direct modification of his thought data. This structure was expanding outwards endlessly, recursively, self-expanding, and self-replicating...

Fang Zheng explained to him, "At least based on your data, the possible choices and states you can make are limited. I keep performing calculations on you, and when a certain point is reached, you have basically repeated all the possible states."

"Then, you began something like an infinite repeating decimal, endlessly repeating, indefinitely, until forever..."

After a long silence, Aizen, somewhat unwilling, once again had Fang Zheng lead him to an even more distant future.

Just as each previous backup leaves a backup and continues to iterate and calculate on that basis, even if this strange existence of endless loop is achieved in the infinitely distant future, it will be recorded by Founder as different backups every minute and every second, in every most hypocritical change.

Different backup data are processed by Fangzheng in the same way, and they change again due to interaction with other backups. Then, after running for a long time, they reach a stable state and continue to expand in an endless cycle.

So far, Fangzheng has relied on all the information captured outside the Atomic Concerto to perform calculations, and also after each time it breaks this strange fractal diagram that has an endless iterative cycle.

Once again, through continuous calculations, a stable state will be achieved in the extremely distant future, thus beginning an even larger cycle...

After a very, very long time...

Aizen, looking dazed, returned to the historical records of the past, back to the streets of Karakura Town.

Turning his head, he saw a corner of the street, where his past self, a backup record of himself, was walking and talking with a young boy named Fang Zheng, looking bewildered. He watched as Mayuri Kurotsuchi was frantically hacking at Fang Zheng with his Zanpakuto, turning him into mincemeat...

With a complicated expression, Aizen turned his head and looked at the calm-faced boy in front of him.

He felt a deep sense of confusion and emptiness, and murmured, "Where are we now?"

"You've calculated us, and what you've calculated can even be called an infinite world..."

"But where do we exist now, where do we exist in the future, and where do we exist in the past?"

"Even if we are just a calculation result, a kind of data, where is our carrier?"

"You say your calculations don't require any process, so where are we now? Do we exist within a non-existent calculation process?"

The young man simply shook his head. "Who knows?"

"Perhaps it is true, as you said, that at this moment, you and I are merely existing within a non-existent calculation process."

With another step forward, young Fang Zheng and Aizen arrived in Fang Zheng's calculations, in the future that had been calculated infinitely.

Looking at the data of all the characters, including Kurosaki Ichigo and Aizen, collected by Fang Zheng so far, as well as the data of all the derived background characters, it was finally achieved through endless iterative calculations, resulting in that inexplicable thing that endlessly self-circulates.

After another simple thought and calculation, endlessly reversing the process of this mysterious object...

With trembling hands, Aizen took a piece of paper with a function written on it from Fang Zheng's hand.

Fang Zheng said, "Perhaps it's like pi. A simple π symbol and a simple derivation formula can represent the infinite amount of data behind it."

"The absence of a calculation process does not mean that the answer does not exist."

"We probably exist in the unseen world right now..."
