Did the world end today?

Chapter 225 Mathematical Laws
The terrifying man is Zhang Liming.

Zhang Liming from another world.

My initial intuition was indeed correct.

Good heavens, Zhang Liming!

You, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, have also betrayed the revolution?
wrong.

This is just a difference in approach!
Lin Xu absolutely could not believe that Zhang Liming would harbor any malice towards humanity; at most, he simply "had his own ideas."

This kind of thinking led him to become extreme and radical.

Theoretically speaking, I no longer have a chance to persuade him.

Because the two sides have different positions and their respective evidence is insufficient, conflict is inevitable.

Whoever wins is right.

It's that simple.

Lin Xu stood up, saying goodbye to Aishwarya while secretly calculating the clues he already had in his mind.

First, it can be confirmed that Zhang Liming and Yu Changwen are connected, and Ayana is the core of the Error Correctors organization in another world.

These three individuals together form the key clues for the Error Correctors organization.

So it's quite obvious that what I need to do next time I enter the bracelet world will be very simple.

By combining the information Jiang Xingye obtained with the information he had obtained, and making a cross-summary, he determined the basic structure of the Error Corrector organization. He then committed suicide to refresh the timeline, trying to return to the origin of the organization as early as possible, so as to control Ayana in advance and erase the organization from history.

That way, everything will get back on track.

However, before getting back on track, we still need to figure out how their so-called "space-time interference device" works.

Lin Xu always felt that this thing was likely some kind of key technology.

It even shares the same principle as a fitness tracker.

Finding this technology will be of great benefit to my further exploration and even development of the bracelet's functions.

Lin Xu left the activity room amidst Aishwarya's reluctant gaze.

He then immediately contacted the mathematician Yang Le through Qin Feng and arranged to meet him in his office.

When he returned to his office, Yang Le was already waiting for him.

"Comrade Lin Xu."

She's younger than I expected.

Lin Xu quickly glanced at Yang Le opposite him.

He is not a mathematician in the "traditional sense".

He was neatly dressed, clean-faced, and his hair was combed meticulously.

Yang Le's expression was serious, but not cold; rather, it revealed a subtle gentleness.

If Lin Xu hadn't known beforehand that he was a mathematician, he probably would have thought he was a poet who specialized in writing obscure modern poetry.

Only the lead-gray marks left on his fingers by holding a pen over the years testify to his identity.

"Hello, Mr. Yang."

Lin Xu stepped forward and grasped Yang Le's hand, which Yang Le shook firmly in return, before saying:

"Let's not call him 'Old Man,' let's just call him Steven."

"It's not that I'm worshipping foreign things. I originally planned to give myself a 'zi' (字, a type of Chinese character) that has a classical feel."

"But as you know, we have a lot of international exchanges in mathematics, so using an English 'nickname' is quite convenient."

"--However, if you find it inconvenient, you can still call me Engineer Yang, it's quite easy to say."

"no problem."

Lin Xu released Yang Le's hand.

He could sense that the other person wasn't actually that "good at socializing," but was indeed very sincere.

Lin Xu led Yang Le to sit down on the sofa and spoke directly:
"Then let's get straight to the point."

"Regarding the question about the general solution to chaotic systems that you wanted to discuss with me last time, I have recently made some new progress."

"I believe that there is no universal solution for truly chaotic systems."

"What exists as a general solution is actually a pseudo-chaotic system."

"Therefore, the process of discovering the general solution is not a purely mathematical process, but an interdisciplinary problem of 'verifying the collapse of random networks' and 'solving the pseudo-chaotic system after the collapse of random networks'."

"That's right, that's right!"

Yang Le's eyes immediately lit up.

"I also think so!"

"Our idea is simple: when we construct a chaotic system with pure rationality, how can it be affected by an observer? For example, the classic three-body problem does exist in the universe, but it is more of a 'thought experiment' deduction."

"Such a thing should not be observable and therefore cannot be collapsed; chaotic systems still cannot solve this problem."

"Yes."

Lin Xu nodded.

"Only those chaotic systems that exist in reality, such as the Wigner-Dyson distribution I mentioned earlier."

"We now believe that the reason why this chaotic system is no longer chaotic is likely that, within the holographic dual framework, local entropy reduction leads to horizon fluctuations, thereby disrupting the chaotic correlation and causing the Wigner-Dyson distribution to fail."

"When the entropy deceleration rate is greater than the Scramming information diffusion rate, the information transmission terminal, the 'wormhole' in the chaotic system collapses, which leads to the emergence of a general solution in this system."

As soon as Lin Xu finished speaking, Yang Le, who was opposite him, suddenly stood up.

He straightened his coat slightly, and then...
He bowed to Lin Xu.

Lin Xuteng jumped up.

What happened?
He instinctively stepped aside, afraid that Yang Le would bow to him a couple more times.

But by then, Yang Le had already stopped.

Seeing Lin Xu's reaction, he was also a little at a loss, wanting to say something but not knowing where to begin, and finally could only laugh self-deprecatingly and say:
"I'm sorry, Comrade Lin Xu."

I think I lost my composure a bit.

"But I really thank you!"

“You don’t know, two days ago, when we first saw the statement that ‘a general solution exists for chaotic systems,’ we thought that even the rules of mathematics had changed after the Moonsurge Project.”

"This is absolutely a catastrophe for us."

"After all, mathematics and physics are different."

"Physics can change, but mathematics is the most fundamental tool we use for 'research.' If even this tool changes..."

"Then the development of humanity will truly be completely locked down." "Understood."

Lin Xu gestured to the sofa, indicating for Yang Le to sit down, and then he spoke:
"Now that this issue has been clarified, we can move on to the next step of our plan."

"Actually, I came to you today because I have a task that requires your assistance."

"you say!"

Yang Le nodded solemnly:
"Obligated!"

"We need you to assemble a team to decipher the 'chaotic system of the human brain'."

"To be precise, it is a 'pseudo-chaotic system' in the brain of a single individual."

"They have now brought in many resources, but they lack a group of truly capable mathematicians."

So, are you willing to give it a try?

Lin Xu had already read Yang Le's materials before he came. In the past two years, he had been working on the high codimensional bihomocytic ring branch direction, which is still strongly related to chaotic systems themselves.

It would be very suitable for him to lead the team.

"I can."

Yang Le nodded in agreement.

But after a slight pause, he suddenly shook his head and said:

"But actually, I'm not the best candidate."

"Objectively speaking, our country's research in the field of mathematics is still relatively backward."

"Now that the world has changed, the national barriers between scientists should also be eliminated."

"Perhaps we could consider bringing in more and stronger scholars to advance this project in parallel?"

"No problem at all."

Lin Xu answered without hesitation:

"You can arrange it."

"If this problem can be solved, it will not only open up avenues for our 'current' work."

"In the long run, there are also many benefits."

"Of course! I'll go arrange it first!"

Yang Le stood up and hurriedly tried to walk out the door.

But then he suddenly realized that he hadn't properly said goodbye to Lin Xu.

However, by the time he remembered, he had already stepped outside.

Pull it down.

Without stopping, he rushed straight to his office.

Lin Xu, who was left behind, didn't think there was anything wrong with what Yang Le did.

Because he was thinking about other things too.

He was thinking about Yang Le's words.

"If the laws of mathematics were also changed, the world would truly be doomed."

So is it possible that in some future world, one might observe mathematical patterns?
Will it really be "changed"?

What kind of world would that be?
1 plus 1 no longer equals 2?
No, changes in mathematical laws are definitely not that "fundamental".

It should be something like the failure of the choice axiom, the failure of the law of excluded middle, or the sensitivity of the initial conditions of a chaotic system to changes.

Even so, its impact on the world is significant enough.

Forget it.

I won't think about it!
Lin Xu casually submitted his idea to the intelligence system, glanced at the time, and realized it was still half an hour before lunchtime.

Perfect timing, I'll use this time to go and have a chat with Zhang Liming.

I want to see how you, kid, went from being a loyal comrade to standing on the opposite side of the butterfly!
A few minutes later, in Zhang Liming's office.

Lin Xu sat opposite Zhang Liming, who was holding a string of beads in his hand that he claimed was made of lightning-struck wood, which he had gotten from who-knows-where.

The beads clinked together softly, and Zhang Liming's expression held a mixture of curiosity and amusement.

"So you mean, in another world, I'm a supervillain?"

"...He's not a villain either."

Lin Xu shook his head.

"You've simply chosen a different path from the butterfly."

"But that's not the point—we won't discuss the issue of stance."

"I'm here to ask you, if it were you, how would you create a device that could interfere with spacetime and cause spacetime fluctuations?"

"Triggering spacetime fluctuations?"

Zhang Liming put down the bracelet and scratched his head.

"This thing is not so easy to handle."

"A very high energy level is required to truly cause a global disruption of spacetime symmetry and balance."

"However, I do have a very simple solution that you may consider."

"What plan?"

Lin Xu immediately pressed for more information.

Zhang Liming chuckled and said, as if joking:

"It's very simple. Didn't you just submit the intelligence yourself?"

"To find a universe with mathematical patterns that are different from our own."

"Then the piping effect is used to connect the two universes, allowing the rules of that universe to flow into our universe through holographic boundary mapping, or in other words, 'into'."

"Doesn't this change our mathematical rules?"

"If, by some chance, the axiom of choice fails in the mathematical rules of that universe..."

"Wouldn't that completely disrupt the flow of time?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xu suddenly stood up.

"what???"
