| ='Cards'=  "Pawn :: Variable" -Piece- - Quote :
- *They say all creation stems from the source of one matter. One so small and elusive humans cannot hope to control it freely. There are anomalies though. perversions that petrify the boundaries of understanding continually.
They are known as "Havona."
Mind you, I speak not of the simple, base creatures you think live under your bed or fear the cross. No, I simply mean it as the word says. "Havona."
Havona can be many things. A human who has transcended normal human restraints, or some entity capable of what is beyond our wildest dreams.
I am of the latter.
Dio Havona never meant for me to be called so. He simply called me the one who knows all that transpired and all that will happen. "Une intelligence... Rien ne serait incertain pour elle, et l'avenir comme le passé, serait présent à ses yeux."
I suppose people found it funny to call me something like this. Thus alienating the subject called such. Like Jon Havona. He's a funny fellow I met once; not much bigger than the size of an atom of helium or so. We are beings of the latter form of demons, and our being stands as direct defiance to laws of science, calculus, Pre historian Algebra, and the Graham solution.
There are others, of course, of the former. Like John Von Neumann, who could instantly calculate amazing operations in his brain like a supercomputer. People fear such genius undermines or degrades the status of others and thus remove them from the equation altogether, branding them an "other", a "demon."
Where there is fear in an uncertainty, one must have assurance. I have all but faded, for example, due to the irritable presence of Lorenz, whom I dub "slayer of determinism."
"All doors lead somewhere, even in the mad world of the N-field," I once told him, "And only I hold the map to this plane of insanity."
"Insanity?" I still remember his arrogant tone, "Insanity, randomness, they are this world's masters. As I float about here, you can't tell whether I'll end up in the Sea or behind a door. And which door? Tell me, one who knows the momentum of all particles."
I tell you, Dio effectively stumped me. That was when I realized the limits of my power. Knowing placement and momentum of every particle didn't guarantee a certain future, as the N-Field is effectively temperamental and strange-willed. As the second law of thermodynamics and entropy would kill Maxwell's, the Chaos and Butterfly Effect would kill me. Didn't matter if I was Chaos controlling Order or Order controlling Chaos or even if I was neautral, Laplace's demon.
Then that strange man with corybantic passion came to me.
"I am in need of one who knows all doors."
He called himself Dio Havona, the creator of Havona, and he spoke to me in fluent French. My power was needed to supervise some sort of "Alice Game" where his daughters engage in a death match in the N-Field. Given that I was only a referee, I could not know the outcome of battles; only know where each and every one was and what they were doing.
And so the rabbit dug his own hole.
For the last 600 years, I've watched. Watched as Alice grew and changed in the form of seven little dolls. I made my appearances, led one era to the next, and made no partisan calls.
The tediousness continued … until one particular era emerged.
It was not one determined by nothing, as Lorenz would have sneered in my face. No, it was one of fate. No matter what anyone says, I'm sure that boy, with his hands of a Puppenmacher, was destined to have a doll fall into his possession … and end this slogging game.
Dio Havona … you who will replace the Six and end my boredom. Such a curious child. Not a demon, not Dio … Just himself. His fate is one I do not know, but, bearing the six dolls that are awake, seeking a cure to the sleeping Alice's slumber, I eagerly watch and await the developments of his story's chapters.
Thus concludes my tale of the demon referee, Laplace's Demon. Alice of Havona.
However, simple implications remained
Careful measurements of current conditions.
Understanding the laws that drive the world.
Sufficient computing to find the "truth."
However it could be risky to bet on it.
Chaotic determinism.
Sensitive dependence on measurements.
Expect the unexpected.
The fastest to adapt usually wins.* | |
