"Strip away the extreme outward forms, and the needs at their core are not entirely evil or absurd. They may even be 'nutrients' that any complex system undergoing healthy development could require—it is merely a matter of dosage and formula."
The leaders listened, utterly absorbed.
"The core of our 'Transcendent Connection' paradigm is to seek connection and guided emergence through dynamic balance amid diversity," Lin Ye continued. "Then could the template we create be designed as a system like this: one with a powerful 'core protocol' that encourages connection and balance, while allowing—even encouraging—the limited, managed existence of 'submodules' or 'ecological niches' with differing tendencies within its framework?"
"For instance, there could be 'regions' with relatively stable cycles, yet these regions would not be closed off and would engage in controlled exchange with 'high-innovation experimental zones.' There could be 'deep meditation zones' where one could experience 'simulated void' or 'simulated pain' in pursuit of insight, but with strict exit mechanisms and psychological guidance. There could be 'random event generators' to increase the possibilities for enjoyment, but their range and impact would be constrained within the system's overall capacity..."
What Lin Ye described was not a universe of a single tendency, but a highly complex cosmic ecosystem with modularity, layered management mechanisms, and laws of core balance!
"What an enormous undertaking!" Jingguang of the Glow Domain exclaimed.
"We do not need to create a complete system from nothing." Lin Ye's gaze burned brightly. "We only need to propose the 'core architectural concept' and complete an initial 'conceptual prototype' with sufficient persuasive power and beauty."
"And the 'raw materials' and 'rule inspirations' needed to build that prototype..." He looked toward the seven wisps of aura floating within the pavilion, each from one of the seven templates. "We will borrow a little from
