This all relates strongly to the Book of Revelations, and also to following the Trinity, which many sci fi programs (including games and other entertainment) have been demonstrating for a very long time. We will live in an amazing future, we just must make it happen as told my God. God is a powerful Orb Entity.

I’ve always said these fractal shapes were a lot like imaginary stories. I want to compare this one to a story that I loved when I was growing up. It’s called Red Dwarf and it’s a lot like how I hope the future will be.

There were a few characters I found amusing or insightful, but there was one that was particularly special to me. His name was Arnold Rimmer, and everyone hated him. He respected authority figures, even though absolutely everyone hated him. Rimmer was a square.

He would often try to take technical exams, even though he always failed for being too stupid. He worked for the Jupiter Mining Corporation Ship Red Dwarf, as a second class and second rate technician. The most responsibility he was ever given was to repair the sci fi plasma stuff in the vending machines around their spaceship.

He would always be making a fool out of himself, though, and one day he even created a singularity that killed most of the crew, for which there were severe consequences.

I would say I was a lot like Rimmer in the past. I could understand a bit of maths and use it to understands some laws for a clever thing to do or what might happen, but I could never say jack shit for certain because my understanding was far too limited.

Judas was also a lot like Rimmer in the Bible stories, because he hated Jesus.

It would have been better for Rimmer if he were more peaceful and less of a square, even though his logic often helped him.

Kryten was a robot who could understand highly advanced logical systems and explain parts of them. It would be far better to live like or be in communication with some kind of robot/person like Kryten than it would ever have been for Rimmer.

I grew up as a student trying to understand an already very limited number of things, and often giving up. I’ve spent nearly my entire life like that. This included things like watching and enjoying comedy shows and telling jokes.

Geometrical set theory is also an important “Orb pondering concept”, along with the Physics of objects like black holes.

If you can visualise a C2 rotation of a 3D shape in your head, you can also add that to a computer program describing a simulation of a physical system.

Try pondering a cube and think about what group theory transformations it has. Well, a sphere has all the group theory you could ever ask for and you can do practically anything you want with it without noticing any change on the outside. That’s the special property of a 3D Orb (hollow sphere).

It also describes why so many physicists think black holes and stars are so special.

Try playing Space Invaders or the old Donkey Kong inside this Orb where your mind can visualise it.

I think Lambda Calculus/Lisp code is basically equivalent to an Orb.

Most of my concepts here were built up using an Orb. It’s a concept that can store other concepts, build other concepts and grow (dangerously, like a black hole that sucks away your mind).

TV shows and films exist in their own fictional realities that are very easy to visualise. I think this is a bit like “pondering The Orb”.

If you get really engrossed, you might start trying to understand the characters and what they think about politics or technical questions, as if you were watching the news.

In some shows, like Red Dwarf, they try to explain some of the weird things that happen based on beliefs that might sound quite logical. Some might even actually have scientific components. For example, there was one where a cyborg robot invented time travel technology based on Einstein’s relativity and tried to kill people in the past to have them replaced for leading “bad” lives. Is that similar to the Christian worldview?

Do you get invested in those universes and start believing in them? I think that’s a complicated question you need some philosophy to answer.
