The Truth Closest to "Truth"
"First, we need to clarify one point: the source of the Slice Experiment was clearly the same prototype Experiment material, so why did different personality slices emerge?"
Praise the Fool's Game!
No sooner had the Doctor finished speaking than Galiusha, standing behind Cheng Shi, gave a nearly textbook-perfect answer in a serious tone:
"There are many reasons that lead to alienation during the formation of consciousness. The academic community generally agrees on three points Tower of Reason:"
Firstly, the different ways in which Memory are packaged lead to a complete alienation in the formation of consciousness;
Secondly, the incompleteness and fragmentation of the slices can lead to cognitive alienation during the formation of consciousness; simply put, a sudden change occurred during the Experiment.
Third, if the prototype of the Experiment material is already in the period of consciousness formation, then the guidance of consciousness growth after the Experiment will play a decisive role.
The first scenario is the most widely used, the second is the most common but also the most uncontrollable, and the third is less common because young Experiment subjects are too inefficient to be cared for until they grow up, unless the Experiment has other purposes, such as my grandfather, Lord Kainlaur.
Praise the Fool's Game!
"?"
Galiusha's words, "praising the Fool's Game," stunned everyone present. Long Jing, who knew about the Doctor's Change, asked in bewilderment:
"You ate a Zainjil too?"
Everyone looked at Galiusha, only to hear the new [Folly] chuckle and say, "I just find it amusing, so I'm trying to embrace Foolish Deed."
Why embrace Foolish Deed?
Cheng Shi is somewhat resistant to "embracing Foolish Deed" now, after all, [Folly] and Wei Mu both left because of embracing Foolish Deed, which is what he is most worried about.
He feared that Galiusha, after becoming [Folly], would become too wise, to the point that she would see through the Universe Truth and the future of the world, and lose faith in this world without answers.
So when Galiusha said those words, Cheng Shi subconsciously frowned. However, Galiusha's next words made everyone's expression turn strange at the same time.
"How can I sit at the same table with you fools if I don't embrace Foolish Deed?"
My wisdom doesn't allow me to do that, so I can only pollute myself.
Praise the Fool's Game!
"..."
"..."
"..."
That's just right.
That familiar [Folly] seems to have returned.
However, it's not quite the same. After all, the Old Gods [Folly] is more incisive and Indifference, while Galiusha still retains some humanity and is willing to explain things to the "Fools".
Cheng Shi waved his hand, unwilling to waste any more time on this farce, and looked at the Doctor to signal him to continue.
The Doctor nodded repeatedly:
"That's right, most of the scrapped slides come from the second situation, mutations in the Experiment."
Of course, we cannot deny that many miraculous breakthroughs also come from mutations in Experiment. It is the free Change that is completely free from constraints and uncontrolled that creates infinite possibilities for Experiment results.
But all along, we've overlooked one question: how do mutations occur? (Thumbs up...)
"This problem has not been ignored."
Galiusha shook her head, interrupting the Doctor's praise. At this moment, she didn't seem like "[Folly]" but more like "Truth." After all, no one present knew more about the Tower of Reason and the "Truth" Experiment of that era than her, not even the Doctor.
Many of the Experiment records that players have seen are from her era.
If Experiment records are considered primary sources, then Galiusha at that time could even be considered the creator and witness of primary sources.
"Shortly after I brought Pelaya into the Scholarly Council, I found a proposal that I was very interested in among the vast number of Experiment grant applications."
A young Scholar studied under the Therius Faction is exploring the probability of personality mutation in Slice Experiment. He has found some key research directions and discovered that the probability of personality mutation in slices always shows a convex increase within certain time periods.
I intend to fund this Scholar so that he can follow his research direction and study how to effectively create more chaotic personality slices, thereby causing some trouble for the Tower of Reason.
Unfortunately, Pelaya's vote was not enough to sway the Scholarly Council, and the project failed.
I think this is what the Scholar were trying to say.
"That's right!"
The Doctor was not offended by the interruption. On the contrary, his gaze toward Galiusha was filled with an academic desire, and the pure aura of [Truth] permeated the air, causing Cheng Shi to be momentarily dazed, as if the Divine Authority [Truth] was spontaneously approaching the Doctor.
"I also discovered this in my Experiment. Moreover, due to the repeated replication of 0221, I even locked this time to a specific time period."
Historical Experiment have been studying the temporal correlation of points with high mutation probabilities. Each time Slice Experiment is initiated, it generates a massive number of slice individuals. Scholar will identify individuals with alienated personalities and try to find their temporal logic.
However, mutations are inherently uncertain; a high probability is still just a probability, not a certainty. Therefore, it is difficult to draw qualitative conclusions from studies on their correlations.
So I abandoned that idea and instead focused on the temporal mutation mechanism of a specific mutation point. To put it simply, I focused on finding the reason why the 0221 mutation probability was significantly higher than that of other individuals during the generation of the first 500 slices. This time, I not only repeated the low-order-of-magnitude Slice Experiment extensively, but I also added the Experiment, myself, to the list of subjects to be observed.
This inspiration came from the guidance of [Time] and the irony of 0221. I wonder if some Change in the Experiment prototype material or some Change in the Experiment Observers triggered a mutation in the personality slices.
When the results came out, even I was shocked!
Praising Fool's Game is the right approach!
I've found a possible reason for the personality mutations observed in the Slice Experiment!
The Doctor became more and more excited as he spoke. He walked to the middle of the crowd, took out a handful of glass marbles from his coat pocket, and then casually scattered them on the ground. Countless glass marbles rolled away and scattered all over the ground.
A moment later, he pointed to a blank spot on the ground and asked Cheng Shi:
What happened here?
"Praising Fool's Game."
Cheng Shi frowned. To be honest, when the Doctor the glass marbles, he was subconsciously observing the way they fell. He seemed to remember that there should have been a glass marble there, but he wasn't sure; he couldn't recall clearly.
Seeing Cheng Shi's slightly puzzled expression, the Doctor revealed the answer to him:
"A glass ball is missing here. It was just stolen."
"Praising Fool's Game."
"?"
Cheng Shi's pupils contracted. He was certain he hadn't seen anyone make a move, but the people around him, especially the New God beside him, all seemed to understand. At that moment, he seemed to understand what the Doctor was trying to say.
Someone tampered with the glass ball when he wasn't looking.
Undoubtedly, Mortals cannot detect the actions of gods, but what reference value does that have for escaping the gaze of [Origin]? They have no power that can surpass [Origin].
Cheng Shi somewhat puzzled, but the Doctor quickly explained, "Someone did indeed make a move, but he didn't use Divine Power beyond Mortals comprehension. He simply found a suitable opportunity to praise the Fool's Game."
The Doctor then pointed to Long Jing in the crowd, and Long Jing smiled and showed Cheng Shi the glass ball in her hand, saying:
"When the Doctor assigned me this task, I didn't expect it to be so simple."
I simply took the glass ball away as quickly as possible the moment you blinked.
"!!!"
At that moment, Cheng Shi suddenly realized.
The Doctor nodded, suppressing the elation on his face, and said, "That's right, the conclusion of the Experiment is that when the Experiment loses control of the Slice Experiment, the probability of slide mutation increases significantly!"
However, because Slice Experiment are extremely costly, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, almost no Experiment throughout history has ever neglected the Experiment; they have used every means to ensure that they do not overlook any minute step...
However, no one expected that neglect was the key reason for the alienation!
Praise the Fool's Game!
