"Emulating Matrix"

Tales  & fantasies

A journey into the fantasy of science or the science of fantasy:

(A science fiction tale based on theoretical hypotheses, interpreted by fantasy)

Emulating Matrix:

One day, hearing about "ENTANGLEMENT", I let my imagination run wild by listening to his suggestions.

From deduction to deduction, thinking about what is written in “ The Man and after him”, I tried to consolidate my imaginations by going into science fiction

(*1)

Enlightened by the possibilities offered by the Entanglement, in a euphoria from Dr. "Doc" , I prepare myself for the creation of two quantum computers and insert in the CPUs, instead of "Bits", "entangled quarks" thus creating a single system operating in two different places (such as Matrix).

Then I install one of the computers in a small humanoid robot and the other in a wearable console with a connection between the artificial synapses of the console and the synapses of my brain neurons, thus creating a hybrid neural network capable of functioning as a single subject.

I try it, get into character and leave for Fantasyland, a kingdom where notoriously everything is allowed.

With the robot I begin to travel, experiencing all the sensations as if I were the one moving and only my simulacrum was left on the chair.

All the perceptions acquired by the robot and the orders for its movements are not transmitted to my body, but are received by the robot that has transformed into me, I live in it.

As a mad scientist, the desire to reach the limits of science ... and fantasy leads me to conceive interspatial journeys where the robot, not subject to human frailty, can arrive.

Using a high-powered laser to push the Robot equipped with a large photon sail at speeds close to those of light, I move through the streets of the sky but, not satisfied because the speed of light is too slow for my imagination, I move on the concepts of space curvature imagined by "Star Trek" and theorized by Miguel Alcubierre in "The Warp Drive: Hyper-Fast" and I travel at the speed of fantasy.

My mind takes the robot (myself) on journeys in search of our fellow humans, but the desire for omnipotence pushes me beyond the imagination and in my mind the dramatic / sensational worm of sending the robot into a black hole arises …

“To see the effect it does”.

Seized by an irrepressible curiosity and perhaps not aware of the inherent dangers, I set out to explore the great unknown.

Without delay and with the certainty (perhaps) of not being the one taking the risk, I point the robot towards the Wormhole and at warp speed 5 I leave for the adventure.

The robot (myself), despite not knowing what lies beyond or what could happen, heads at breakneck speed into the unexplored jaws of the event horizon.

The extreme speed reached by the photonic sail, in addition to the compression of spacetime, means that upon entering the "whirlpool", the robot maintains its dimensions and spaghettification does not occur due to the gravitational force which increases exponentially as it approaches the central singularity.

My self, which, having not moved from the chair, thinks it can manage everything or abandon the fight, is overwhelmed and, unable to be autonomous in its choices, is dragged by events.

Once past the swirling "membrane", like Alice in Wonderland I fall spinning in a hole full of colors with the feeling that it is bottomless.

Amazed by Walt Disney-like visions, without wanting to, the phrase comes to mind "you will see how deep the White Rabbit's lair", bewildered by the thought, I look around in search of Him.

Suddenly the fall softly stops and I perceive someone saying "without speaking" phrases that arise in my brain as conceptual images.

An "alien" landscape appears before me as something that seems to be without existing.

I feel that I am no longer part of myself, but of the whole, I don't need to see and hear, everything is within me.

As I get used to the situation, I regain consciousness of myself and begin to try to understand where I am.

Knowledge enters me and scares me, I perceive entities that scrutinize me and study me like a laboratory guinea pig and in turn I can perceive their "being" and their thoughts.

We interpenetrate each other and, although I am in a state of awe towards them, I do not feel in danger, indeed new horizons and new certainties caress my mind.

I feel them busy managing a disproportionate set of things and little by little I understand that they are working on an immense project, a project as big as a Universe,

........    the our

I realize that the universe we inhabit or think we inhabit is not a reality, but a huge simulation run by these entities experimenting with their own evolutionary theories.

I see, I imagine, I perceive absurd things, ....  time as we know it does not exist, it is just an expedient for sequencing events consisting of single static "frames" in their own right, which can be traveled in one direction or another.

Each "frame" is a thin portion of the two-dimensional universe projected into our reality as a four-dimensional hologram, which we see as three-dimensional.

I the program, according to algorithms set by them, sequentially builds slices of the universe smaller than the quark and another program analyzes how everything evolves, sometimes finding anomalies that the entities try to manage in order not to compromise their work and not to create inconsistencies ... like my intrusion due to an anomalous interpretation of entanglement.

Their purpose is to experiment with variables to the precoded laws, placing their attention (our living) in a point of the "virtual time" of the managed universe, to verify the evolution produced by the change.
The only limit is given by the speed of the CPUs used which translates into the constant of the "speed of light", a limit which, however, is limited to our interactions.

It's bad to admit it, but our every action is the result of algorithms set by others.

The program creates a succession of events all intersecting each other, in an immense and rigid framework where everything is interconnected and the change of a single element, whether desired or due to a mistake in the program (because being so complex it is not exempt by small errors), affects the whole structure with a "butterfly effect" (if in Brazil a butterfly moves its wings it can create a hurricane in Texas).

In reality, the program creates a two-dimensional universe made up of "ordinary" matter and "condensed matter" weakly reacting to each other, but intrinsically interconnected and projects them in the form of a three-dimensional hologram, creating the world in which we live ... or that we think to live.

I understand that the interpretation of the Entanglement that brought me to them is not something desired but, as in the Matrix in "déjà-vu", it is a typo of the system that creates, from a single two-dimensional point, two three-dimensional points that move independently, but which intrinsically should remain a single thing, creating a variation of parity.

The time that passes is only theirs, or maybe they too are a hologram managed by others ...

During my reasoning, a feeling of guilt assails me and I feel their judgment within me:

• "For the rules of our project, even if you are a virtual entity we cannot cancel you, because every variation, even if infinitesimal, made to the product does not modify the existing project that continues on its way, but generates a new project(a new Universe) which, after the modification, evolves autonomously with its own course.
  Now you are here and, as your intervention has caused a change to the project, you cannot return to your world, so you remain, but doubled by your original self, so you will be two distinct entities that will evolve in different ways.

At this point a doubt has wormed my brain:
 a "virtual" entity that remains physically with "real" subjects, can it exist or am I still in another simulation ?

... thinking about this theme, the “Plato's Cave” comes to mind where:

• in the cave everything is simulation and by escaping from this one enters other "caves", perhaps more sophisticated, but always simulated ;
• one can become more aware of being in a state of illusion, one can know what we do not know, but no one will ever escape because it is part of the simulation and this is the only reality in which he can live.

Taken from these considerations, I wonder:   
am I part of a great "Matrix", or am I simply dreaming ?

Unexpectedly, I find myself sitting in my armchair managing a computer no longer connected with the infinite, but exclusively an end in itself.

In my mind there are confused memories they enter, the Matrix with Neo fighting the simulation and Alice with the Cheshire Cat who transforms into an indefinable identity that gradually vanishes.

A flash crosses my mind ... but in the Bible it says:

 "God created light and darkness"

  ... I feel like floating on the clouds and a feeling of sweet exhaustion accompanies me in the kingdom of Morpheus.

    a question arises: ... but is it really all fantasy?

“   I want to stay with Alice !!   "

Here is a bit of clarity on the terms and concepts used in the story :

• Quark: type of elementary particle (subatomic) fundamental constituent of matter (atoms are formed by electrons, protons and neutrons and in turn these last two particles are made up of quarks).
• Quantum entanglement: twinning of two particles (in this case quarks) acting as if they were a single subject, even if arranged at indefinite distances (that is, they are two things, but they function as if they were a single thing, regardless of the distance in which they are located and whatever is done to one of them is also done to the other.
• Quantum computer: (for now let's just define it as a computer that uses quarks as bits, called “Qbits”).

Those who have seen the film "Matrix" will remember the famous "déjà-vu", with the protagonist Neo who sees the scene of the passage of the cat repeated twice.
