"Done!"
About five minutes later, Turing finally stopped writing.
At this moment, both Angel and Turing had their eyes on the sheet of paper. Angel wanted to see what creation it would ultimately become, while Turing's eyes brimmed with anticipation for the result of this attempt.
A few seconds later.
A faint, flickering radiance began to flow across the paper filled with all manner of symbols.
The radiance brightened at times and dimmed at others, its rhythm gentle and steady, like breathing.
Along with this "breathing flow of light," every character Turing had written began to melt away slowly, as though sinking into the paper.
The instant all the characters vanished, Angel knew the creation process had begun.
They should soon find out what Turing had created.
Yet several seconds passed, and the paper did not change at all.
Logically speaking, once Text Creation began, the paper should gradually fade away and generate the corresponding object according to the written description, shouldn't it?
Why did the paper appear completely unchanged?
No, that was not quite right. It had changed. For instance, the earlier "breathing flow of light" had now become "continuous soft light."
Yes, the paper had been glowing all along, like a lamp in the shape of a sheet of paper.
But aside from that, there were no further changes.
After another while, the paper remained glowing, while a passage of text floated above it.
When Angel saw the paper being watched and a textual description appearing above it, he immediately understood... The thing Turing had created this time was most likely this paper lamp?
No wonder Turing had said it was creating something that took up no space.
The paper had already existed. Its surface area had not changed; it had merely begun to glow... Didn't that mean
