棲身於原始世界的古猿在發現火的剎那,成為了族群中的天才。邁向宇宙的人類在令使誕生的瞬間,掌握了星際旅行的法則,於是舊時代也跟着轟然倒塌。宇宙的知識總量會在跨越特定的節點後產生爆炸性增長,使「知識」得到質變,改變人們對天才的評價標準。
天才俱樂部#22利爾他提出了「知識奇點」假說。他描述了一種特殊的認知臨界點,在無限近似於0的概率下,由絕對的天才創造。在學者們只能解析現象的時刻,唯有它將觸及「智識」的本質。
正如贊達爾製造出星體計算機,令「智識」命途從無到有,知識至此踏上新的道路。「知識奇點」的每一次顯現,都將導致宇宙尺度的知識圓圈擴張,從方法論、工具以及認知層面,構建起全新的體系,永久性改變知識的定義——甚至,撼動博識尊的思考進程。
無數天才追逐「知識奇點」而去,他們大都消失在圓圈邊緣的迷霧裏。即便如此,一些俱樂部的成員仍將其視作畢生追求,這並非源自野心,僅是因為他們是天才。
Knowledge Singularity (Phenomenon)
The moment ancient primates dwelling in the primal world discovered fire, they became geniuses among their tribes. The moment an Emanator was birthed when humanity was reaching for the cosmos, they mastered the laws of interstellar travel — and thus the Old Era collapsed resoundingly. When the total sum of the universe's knowledge traverses a certain phase, it will result in explosive growth, causing a qualitative change in knowledge, thus changing the standard by which humanity evaluates geniuses.
Genius Society #22 Aiden proposed the hypothesis of the Knowledge Singularity. He described a special cognition critical threshold with a probability of near zero created by an absolute genius. In a time when scholars can only analyze phenomena, this genius can touch the essence of Erudition.
Just as Zandar built the astral computer, bringing the Path of Erudition from zero to one, knowledge embarked on this new path. Every manifestation of the Knowledge Singularity will lead to an expansion of the Circle of Knowledge on cosmic dimensions, in terms of the principles of methodology, tools, and cognition, constructing a whole new framework, permanently redefining knowledge — even shaking Nous' thought process.
Countless geniuses have pursued the Knowledge Singularity, and most of them have faded into the fog along the borders of the circle. Even so, some Genius Society members still view this as a lifelong pursuit, not for their own ambitions, but just because they are geniuses.
