OBSERVATION 004
Press the picture and the points thin out. There are four rungs —
forty thousand, six hundred, forty, one. The equation running underneath does not change.
Only the shape goes.
“Listen” is the same bundle of relations, thrown to the ear instead of the eye.
No sound was added; the same equation is put out through another sense.
The flow is going around an obstruction.
Having gone around, it joins again on the far side.
The empty space in the middle is not a hole painted in.
It is only that no flow can enter there.
No line was erased. Not one has ever passed through.
The flow strikes nothing, goes around, and returns to what it was.
Through all of it, no path is ever broken.
Fingerprint of this equation
sha256:7fdc1bad786aa2d0d0bcd3bec684b7f52f8e60c52b8177a498b4caab3a4e9cc3
Run at any time, by anyone, it appears in the same form.
No randomness, no clock, nothing from the environment.
The button above takes the equation out as it is. To count it again yourself:
pbpaste > f.txt && printf %s "$(cat f.txt)" | shasum -a 256
Take it and run it. No randomness and no clock are used, so the same creature appears on your screen too. The equation belongs to no one.
