What were those indescribable existences in the Cthulhu Mythos? In order to maintain their sense of mystery and horror, those creators usually did not explain. They only used some terrifying words to let the readers feel those existences from a sense of powerlessness. However, the common words used were nothing more than unable to look at, unable to understand, and so on.
Also, many creators would use a term when describing 'God' more rationally, and that was' high-dimensional creatures'. This term was also very common in many science fiction works. It was also often accompanied by descriptions such as' incomprehensible '.
Let's not talk about how these high-dimensional creatures appeared in the real world of the three-dimensional space. If their images were seen by others, what kind of reaction would there be?
Incomprehensible?
If it was just a description of 'incomprehensible', it might not be enough to describe the seriousness of it. This was because ordinary people's understanding of incomprehensible things was like playing chess. Ordinary people could calculate the next three to five moves, but geniuses could calculate the next 100, 200, or even 1,000 moves. To put it simply, it was the 'incomprehensible' between ordinary people and geniuses.
However, in reality, the 'incomprehensible' of high-dimensional creatures should be a more dangerous situation. It was not as simple as not being able to understand or think, but that even the brain could not process the information received.
The world that humans saw was after the eyes received the visible light from the outside world. All the information was processed by the brain and finally formed into the cognition. Therefore, the world in the eyes of color-blind people, the world in the eyes of cats and dogs, and the world in the eyes of insects with compound eyes were all different from the world that ordinary people saw.
Perhaps when facing high-dimensional creatures, the human brain would try to transform them into something that could be understood by human cognition. However, the human brain could only process cognition below the three-dimensional space, and the extra information would become garbage noise, interfering with the brain's processing process.
Then, what would happen when the brain was unable to process a large amount of information? If one could not imagine what would happen to the brain, one could look at what would happen to the computer's processor when faced with such a problem. It would be nothing more than a crash, overload, overheating, and other situations. The brain was actually similar.
Even though the human body had a self-protection mechanism, it was still under a certain limit. When that limit was exceeded, it would still be the same. Then, when the brain was stuffed with a large amount of information that could not be processed, and the human physiological condition was controlled by the brain, what would happen when this kind of danger was reflected on the body?
Thinking about it this way, physical phenomena such as bleeding from the seven orifices, madness, and self-mutilation were not that difficult to understand.
And in some faiths, God would show different images according to different people. This was actually a manifestation of the brain's self-protection mechanism, because he already had a rough idea of what a 'God' was. Then, the brain would automatically ignore and eliminate the extra information.
In other words, people used their own will and subjectivity to only see what they wanted to see and ignore what they didn't want to see. The more you believe in the existence of something, and the more you give it your image, the clearer you can see it. This not only explained the so-called gods of faith, but also explained those indescribable things, including ghosts, souls, and other things that science could not explain.
If you don't understand them well enough, you might pretend that you don't see them when they appear in front of you. This could also explain why some elders on Earth said that when you encounter a ghost, you should pretend that you don't see it. When you can ignore ghosts, you really can't see each other anymore.
However, doing so didn't mean that he understood the higher dimensional lifeforms. It was just a generalization and a glimpse of the big picture.
Then, it seemed that it would be an impossible task for people to understand the higher dimensional lifeforms. Because in the world below the dimension one was in, the brain could process and naturally belonged to the category of understanding. Then, would the world above the dimension one was in be forever incomprehensible due to innate physiological limitations?
Of course not.
Human physiological limitations made it impossible for our eyes to look directly at the sun. But as long as we used something similar to sunglasses, we could observe the sun that we couldn't look directly at before.
There would always be tools to help us observe different worlds, but the premise was that we had to find the right method.
Then, back to the question, what was the dimension?
To put it in simpler terms, it was the number of dimensional spaces that could be intersected at the same point, and the number of lines that could be perpendicular to each other. Except for the one-dimensional space where there was only one line that couldn't be perpendicular to other lines, the space above the two-dimensional space had to abide by this principle mathematically.
In other words, the fourth dimension above the three-dimensional space was not the 'time' that ordinary people knew, but a fourth axis that was perpendicular to the first three axes. This was also one of the reasons why some scientists believed that time didn't exist.
In mathematics, there was no way to make a picture of the higher dimensional space. It only existed in calculations. But it could use projection to draw a picture, which also meant that it had to go through dimensional reduction.
It could be said that the belief of humans was a mechanism similar to screening the information of the higher dimensions. Then, could a mathematical method of dimensional reduction be designed to artificially screen or combine the information of multiple dimensions so that it could finally be processed by the human brain? In fact, similar things had already been done on Earth before transmigrating. It was the science called data analysis.
To put it simply, what that knowledge did was to collect data, organize data, and present data. And these actions were done by data scientists on Earth with the help of computers and programs to process hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of millions, or even trillions of data. They used various methods to organize the inorganic data of several or even hundreds of thousands of dimensions into information that could be understood by humans.
When humans saw a higher dimensional life form, everything that their eyes, ears, mouth, and nose came into contact with was part of the data collection. Unfortunately, we only used our brains to organize the data.
For this kind of high dimensional data, the human brain might have the hardware, which was the computing power, but it didn't have the appropriate software, which was the program to process it. Because we were born unable to understand space above three dimensions, we naturally couldn't process this kind of data. So, we were stuck at this stage and naturally couldn't get the final result of the data presentation.
But, that was on Earth. What about in the Land of Enchantment? What kind of situation would this magic world be like?
Thinking of this, a certain person faintly had an answer in his heart. He stopped the former demon king who was advancing. Looking at the puzzled expression on the delicate and beautiful face, Lin said with incomparable seriousness, "Stop for a moment, help me guard."
"What do you mean guard?"
… Well, she thought that she had transmigrated to a martial arts world. Lin sat cross-legged on the ground helplessly and said, "I want to enter the Dream World, please help guard around me and protect my safety."
"Now?"
"Yes. If what I want to do can be done, it will be helpful for our trip. It shouldn't take too much time because I already have a general direction. "After saying this, Lin didn't wait for her to agree. He lowered his head and fell asleep.
This time, it was Fen's turn to be helpless. There were ghostly shadows around them, and the wandering monsters were up to no good. They dragged their heavy steps and walked towards the two strangers.
Fen casually fired a shot and found that in this fog, her aim wasn't as accurate as in the outside world. What was the reason? Or, did the sleeping man discover something?
Thinking of this, she suddenly looked forward to it.
At the Magic Tower in the Dream World, a battle that wasn't too intense was going on. A tentacle monster without a body waved its octopus-like limbs and attacked the Magic Tower. The star-like light spots in the deep sky had just fired a round of volley and now seemed much dimmer. However, a round of volley wasn't enough to defeat these invading monsters, so the two avatars guarding here were wielding weapons against the monsters.
Because the opponent was similar to a soft animal, its skin was tough and elastic, not suitable for heavy weapons, so the two avatars were using large sashimi knives to cut the tentacles of the octopus. As soon as the original body entered the Dream World, it descended from the sky and saw the battle below. It immediately transformed into a large net and covered the invading tentacle monster first.
The battle temporarily stopped.
Surrounding the struggling tentacle monster, the chuunibyou avatar pushed up his glasses as usual and said, "Aren't we going to kill it? If another one comes in, it won't be easy to deal with. "
"Not easy to deal with means we can still deal with it. Is this one of those things we encountered outside? "The original body that had just descended asked.
"It should be."
"Then it's necessary to keep one for experiments. If new ones come in, just pick one and kill it. "
"Why does this remind me of when we were playing online games, we sat down in a certain place in the maze that we thought was safe. After coming back from a pool of shit, we were lying on the ground. Are you sure it's okay? "The fat otaku avatar in front of him didn't hesitate to ridicule the original body's behavior.
"When you don't speak, the world is bright and the mood is good. Why is it that when you speak, the world turns upside down and the sun and moon lose their color? It only makes people feel that people's hearts are sinister, and when I hear it, I feel dizzy and can't even stand properly. Are you sure you're not a spy sent by the enemy? "
"Enemy? Who? Tentacle monster? If those elders are willing to take you in as a follower, will you kneel and lick their boots? "
F * ck! This kind of temptation was really hard to refuse. Hugging a thick thigh was a certain person's great ambition in life. To be able to hug that kind of thick thigh, being a bootlicker was really nothing.
"F * ck! Look at your face, you're dreaming. Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? "The fat otaku avatar came to the other two avatars and asked," Let's not talk about that. Do you think your idea will work? "
"Without trying, who can be sure whether it will work or not?" After saying that, Lin's thoughts changed, and the three of them changed into peach-colored robes and wore a peach-colored horn ornament on their heads. He said, "No need to talk nonsense, we have to have the spirit of doing practical things. Whether it's male or female, we'll know after we try. Everyone, use three times the efficiency, let's go! "
Perhaps it was the fat otaku's words that made someone worried about the situation outside. Plus, he knew what to do and had a clear goal, so he didn't want to waste too much time here. And this old joke from forty years ago, to the metaphysics of programming, could only say that faith was justice!
