Chapter 251 The Meaning of Creation

The pursuit of continuous creation and the constant pushing of existing information limits will truly bring this seemingly fixed and unchanging infinite universe to life.

By continuously analyzing those unsolvable sets and incorporating them into the existing cosmological framework, new possibilities are constantly emerging in that seemingly unchanging universe, that universe that is about to fall into logical heat death.

Can incubators truly be considered "alive"? Can they be called "life"?

At least from Fang Zheng's perspective, from a human point of view, the so-called incubators have no specific racial form and no life form as understood by humans.

They have no entertainment, no pursuits, and one could even say they lack the "thinking" aspect of human cognition.

The incubator is very similar to Founder Group; it is more like a sophisticated algorithm that continuously maintains and reconstructs the information structure universe that is always full of new possibilities, allowing it to evolve and grow endlessly.

They themselves are the process of analyzing witches and unsolvable sets, the process of editing the underlying information structure of this vast universe.

……

After he finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene fell silent for a moment.

Fang Zheng spoke to Kaname Madoka again, "So, do you still want to continue?"

He gazed into Madoka Kaname's eyes and said slowly, "In a few days, Witch's Night will be here."

"You're going to choose to fight again, aren't you? But from the perspective of the universe, such battles are actually meaningless. The universe is still the same universe, and the unsolvable set still exists."

"You also understand that life and death, hope and despair, sorrow and joy, birth and death... all of these exist in parallel at a higher dimension. There is no cause-and-effect relationship between all things as we perceive them, nor is there any inherent order."

"No matter how many people the witch killed in your eyes, or whether you never killed anyone, or whether the witch was killed or the magical girl died in battle... these scenarios still exist in a certain branch of possibility."

“The magical girl herself is a product of the possibility being packaged and directed out, but the packaged part still exists in parallel, only it is isolated and no longer interacts with other structures in parallel at the information level.”

“Magical girls never truly ‘fall from hope to despair.’ It’s just that the despair and chaos that were already there began to flow outwards. They no longer continued to express the personality that conformed to human cognition through external interaction, and they no longer engaged in self-reference or self-determined the order in which they flowed out.”

“But if you choose to fight…” Fang Zheng said calmly, “The number of unsolvable sets is infinite, and the number of witches is also infinite.”

"Of course, the possibilities for any magical girl are also infinite, and you, Madoka Kaname, also possess infinite possibilities."

"But as a 'human,' as 'Madoka Kaname,' your memories and your personality have limits."

“When you continue to refer to yourself and choose your output as a human being, that ‘Madoka Kaname’ is limited.”

"You will still gradually increase your entropy due to the erosion of external information, become chaotic, and start to output possibilities that deviate more and more from your current personality."

“Until the chaos reaches its peak, the human personality that never truly existed—that was just an illusion, a hallucination of Madoka Kaname—will return to its ‘proper’ form.”

"To become a 'witch'."

"What you, as the personality of 'Madoka Kaname,' will experience during this process has been told to you by the corpse of another Madoka Kaname."

"Of course you can choose not to do it. You can choose to seek my help."

"After all, there's really no difference between you and me, except that you have a 'human square' personality and don't have the same strong inner drive as 'human Kaname Madoka'."

"Furthermore, if you wish, you can seek my computational and interventional abilities to separate out a portion of 'Madoka Kaname's' potential and create a magical girl automatic algorithm based on 'Madoka Kaname's' personality as the judgment mechanism."

"It can run on its own, continue to act almost forever, participate in the analysis of unsolvable sets, and remain so for eternity, an algorithmic entity that is almost like an incubator."

"And you, as a human being, as 'Madoka Kaname,' can still live happily with your family and friends, and live a joyful life..."

Fang Zheng's seemingly ethereal words echoed in her ears, while Kaname Madoka, like a child daydreaming in class, leaned her head to the side and rested her head on the table.

Her cheek was pressed flat, her two legs, clad in white stockings, dangled gently under the table, and she stared intently at the various illusory images of dragons and phoenixes rising from the teacup.

A moment later, she sat up straight again, took a big bite of the cake on the table, a happy look on her face, chewed it carefully, and swallowed.

She savored the delicious taste of the cake, opened her eyes, and said with a determined look, "But wouldn't everyone be pitiful if that were the case?"

"Hope and despair do indeed coexist. Hope, despair, sorrow, joy—all of it may truly be meaningless on a cosmic scale." "But so what? In a meaningless world, don't we still exist just like you?"

Kaname Madoka looked at Fang Zheng gently: "Mr. Fang Zheng, you are acting out of habit, but aren't we the same?"

"Since it has no inherent meaning and is simply driven by inertia, why don't we just disappear before we're even born?"

"But we still exist, we continue to exist according to our personality and our inertia, allowing us to refer to ourselves, to know ourselves, and to know the outside world."

"Indeed, witches are just one disordered state among all the possibilities of humanity that coexist, but aren't they pitiful for falling into such chaos?"

"Aren't their family and friends who are saddened by their transformation into witches also pitiful?"

"If we build an eternally existing algorithm based on Madoka Kaname's personality, even if she has no emotions, no joy or anger, and is just an eternally existing, running machine, wouldn't she still be quite pitiful?"

She paused for a moment, then recalled a sentence she had once read and recited: "The essence of man is the sum total of all social relations."

"Everything in the universe may be meaningless, but the meaning of humanity is something we need to find for ourselves."

"We are not isolated. Our interaction with family, friends, and all things in the universe is the meaning of our existence."

Madoka Kaname, the girl with adorable pink twin tails, stood up and smiled gently against the backdrop of the pixelated cherry blossom forest. "Holding onto hope is never a mistake."

"Even if a machine similar to me could be created and run forever, it would never be a bad thing to have my power added to it."

"Even if it is infinitely large, so vast that I am insignificant compared to it, adding my own strength would definitely not be a bad thing."

She tilted her head, looked at Fang Zheng with gentle eyes, and smiled, her eyes crinkling. "Mr. Fang Zheng, thank you for talking to me for so long and letting me know all this, but I still won't change my decision."

"In this chaotic and disordered world, holding onto hope is never a mistake!"

Fang Zheng laughed. "I understand. Then I wish you all the best on your journey."

"Please also wish me the same way, that I can continue on this path."

With a wave of his hand, a Nether portal shimmering with white particles unfolded.

Fang Zheng pointed to the light screen and said, "Cross over this door and you can go back."

"Oh, right..." Fang Zheng waved his hand, and a large bag of snacks appeared in Xiao Yuan's hands. "Aren't you going to chat with your best friend tonight? I'll give you some snacks while I'm at it."

"Thank you." With that, Xiaoyuan's figure disappeared from this world of square pixels.

"Alright," Fang Zheng stretched and snapped his fingers. Immediately, the strange cube-shaped body began to break apart endlessly, becoming more and more detailed, and finally coalescing into a figure that looked like an ordinary human.

With one step, the earth, composed of square pixels, twisted and deformed, turning into nothingness.

In this endless void, countless "squares" stand here.

It encompasses all possibilities, and under all permutations and combinations of all mathematical structural worlds, the entire set of Fangzheng personalities that could potentially change exists here simultaneously.

There are also all the "Founder" products that are so different from "Founder" that they can hardly be called "Founder" at all, which also exist here.

The original "square" looks here, looking at all these infinite "squares," endlessly merging and splitting with each other, in a dynamic stalemate.

Fang Zheng slowly read aloud: "The essence of man is the sum total of all social relations."

"Heh..." Fang Zheng, who had just entered, shook his head with a smile. "I will be molded into different forms depending on the different people and different situations I encounter."

"Having gone through so much, it's almost time to make a choice, to choose the kind of person I should become..."

After saying that, Fang Zheng joined in.
