Negotiator Tsukai Saraka opened up to Shindo Kojiro about her feelings.
Saraka's desire to protect the dignity of humanity and this world
sent ripples through the still pond of Shindo's mind.
However, Gonno Takumi, who is now working for SETTEN,
and the company CEO, Adam Ward,
decided to broadcast footage of the anisotropic device, the Sansa, to the world.
This broadcast will contain footage of a special device given to us by the anisotropic. Viewing this device may have unexpected effects on the human body. Please keep this in mind if you wish to continue viewing.
Yaha-kui zaShunina made a live appearance
Emergency Press Conference by Yaha-kui zaShunina, the anisotropic being After this, a new device separate from the Wam will be revealed
A Message from the Anisotropic to Humanity The new device's name is "Sansa"
and revealed the Sansa to the world.
The world continues to accelerate.
Nanomis-hein
They're going inside.
Hanamori-san, can you contact Shindo-san?
We can't contact anyone inside Kado.
I think if we yell for him outside, though,
zaShunina will open it up.
Is that not good enough?
I have a bad feeling, for some reason...
Kado.
Enter, Shindo.
I've been thinking...
Can't you make this thing a little easier to use?
Like make it a door, or a tunnel?
No.
What was that pause for?
Well, there's no point in complaining about the things you do at this point.
What is this place?
Kado is a boundary object, and deep inside it
is the split between the universe and the anisotropic.
This point is approximately equidistant to both of them.
Everything you do is so sudden...
It's probably too late to be asking,
but can you drink?
This is the first time.
I've been interested in it, though.
Cheers.
Well?
It's bitter.
Now, then...
The Sansa was revealed to the world.
Just like with the Wam, the world will likely go forward at an incredible rate.
The old culture will change drastically.
What was inconvenient will become convenient,
and what was impossible will become possible.
But some humans see this change as destruction.
What are your thoughts on this acceleration?
Shindo.
There's something I want you to see today.
Kado.
When I came to this universe,
I prepared four things.
Kado.
The Wam.
The Sansa.
And...
The fourth.
Nanomis-hein.
Mifune-sensei, what is that?
When Shinawa saw the Sansa,
she started to work on her calculations like a woman possessed.
And then she started saying she wanted to see Fregonics.
Yes, yes, yes, this, this, this!
Did she come up with some new insight?
I try to learn this this stuff, and I can't...
I think with the neuron layout at this dimensional level,
She's capable of perfectly creating the Wam.
the information doesn't get properly signified.
So it's possible that
But the signifiés are being properly captured,
seeing the Sansa has moved her to levels that we can't yet reach.
so we can do it if we just develop the signifiants on our own. Yeah, that'll work.
It's front and back, so maybe bront and frack?
Dr. Shinawa!
At Haneda Airport, you were working on research
that would allow you to interfere with the Fregonics, right?
I sure was!
I failed, though.
After interacting with the Wam and Sansa,
you've gained a new sense of the anisotropic.
Do you think you could come up with a way to interfere with Fregonics now?
It's definitely higher energy than the bulk that's not surface-level.
It has more axes than membranes, so would that work?
But that wouldn't stick!
You'd need friction first! A vertical surface!
No, there's nothing under it...
Shindo, begin by touching it.
Did you feel arms?
Yeah...
The Nanomis-hein is more broadly usable than the Wam or Sansa.
I'll show you one such application.
Take it.
It's light...
There's no weight to it.
I'll translate this phenomenon
into an expression that is short and simple to understand.
Gravitational control.
Inertial control.
Mass control.
The control of all of these.
The Nanomis-hein is a device that can aid humanity's control of the anisotropic.
You could call it the arm of an anisotropic being.
The arm...
In the time between Kado's appearance and today,
you and others have seen various methods of anisotropic control.
The Nanomis-hein makes it possible for this control
to be performed within the universe.
Can you imagine what this means?
Yeah, I can.
Innovation in commodity distribution.
A revolution in transportation.
Space exploration.
The possibilities are infinite.
The very concept of "work" will change.
Everything will be made vastly more efficient.
This goes far beyond economic effects.
A blind race toward the future is about to begin.
An entire age, gripped by a fever.
A bubble period for all of humanity.
That's not quite correct.
Assuming a level of
production that produces more goods than could ever be consumed in the future,
and yet continuing to operate an economy is the definition of a bubble.
Put another way, you "create too much."
Isn't that what would result from this?
No, that's not right.
Humanity's production will never exceed its consumption.
Not for the rest of eternity.
How can you be so sure?
Because they will have the anisotropic.
I've increased its mass.
It's impossible for a single person to move it.
Wow...
It's definitely possible, though.
If you can exchange energy from the universe with the anisotropic via the Wam,
it would make sense if you could break the law of conservation of angular momentum.
That's also incorrect, Shindo.
The Nanomis-hein does not exchange momentum between the universe and the anisotropic.
Then how does it work?
To explain the principles behind it,
we need to go back to our root.
Root?
The anisotropic.
That's the central issue, isn't it?
It will be a long talk.
Will you listen, Shindo?
That's why I'm here.
Let's take a walk.
That surprised me back there.
You want to do something about the Fregonics?
zaShunina isn't answering.
I want to do everything I can,
just in case the worst-case scenario happens.
Are you in love with Shindo-san?
I heard you took him to meet your parents.
That's not true!
It's not!
You don't need to try so hard to deny it.
I love him, too.
Natsume-san likes him, too.
D-Does she?
I asked her once if she liked him, and...
I do.
I don't think I'm the person for him, though.
What do you mean?
I'm not capable of handling him.
I'm sure the person for him
is someone far greater.
Anyway, it looks like Natsume-san won't go for it,
so this is your chance!
I told you, I'm not...
Wait, are you dating someone, though?
I mean, that.
I'm not seeing anyone.
Is it just for fashion?
This is...
A pledge of faith.
You once described the anisotropic as a higher dimensional world, didn't you?
Yes.
I corrected you because it wasn't quite correct,
but in the larger sense, it is correct.
The number of dimensions is a concise parameter of an amount of information.
One dimension.
Two dimensions.
Three dimensions.
Now, Shindo.
Let's say that a single one of these is one bit,
and that this cluster of them is a CPU.
Can you comprehend this?
As the number of dimensions increases, the number of bits increases,
and the processing power increases rapidly.
Indeed.
The number of dimensions in the anisotropic
would add 37 to this universe.
Each increase in dimensions results in
exponential growth in the information contained.
A world where size and processing speed are
increased to the 37th power beyond that of this universe.
That is the anisotropic.
But Shindo, the needs of this vast world aren't completely fulfilled.
The vast processing power of the anisotropic can process
any information in an instant.
Therefore, it is plagued by a constant lack of information.
"We want information.
We want to absorb a huge amount of information.
We want to bathe in more information than we could ever process."
And for that purpose,
the anisotropic beings created "the information cocoon."
What are your thoughts on the Wam and Sansa, Mifune-sensei?
In what sense?
In other words, are they really a good thing?
The Wam and Sansa are neither good nor evil in themselves.
Another standard is required to judge what they are.
Another standard?
By our standard, it's simple.
Anything that contributes to the survival and happiness of humanity is good.
The problem is what happens when another standard besides humanity's exists.
The information cocoon?
You have a concept called "sericulture," do you not?
You raise silkworms and take threads from their cocoons.
Just think of us as taking information instead of threads.
The anisotropic beings made countless cocoons.
We changed their initial conditions,
observed their growth,
and waited for high-density information to be born from the cocoons.
We waited for an eternity,
and at last, the ultimate thread was born.
That thread was the first miraculous body of information
that the anisotropic beings met.
A thing that created vast information under its own power.
A singularity.
It was a gospel that would bring happiness to the anisotropic.
And that thread was...
Humanity.
The information cocoon is a universe.
The ultimate thread is humanity.
It was the anisotropic beings that created this universe.
We opened the space and decided the initial values,
as well as some of its natural parameters.
The speed of light...
The units of force...
All were decided by the anisotropic beings?
Shall I show you?
Hey, zaShunina!
Hey!
The alteration of temporal values within an area.
It's not an exchange of momentum with the anisotropic.
The Nanomis-hein is the arm of the anisotropic, which allows you to alter
the settings of the universe.
Oh, I see.
I'm sorry, Shindo.
I tried temporarily altering our relative times.
What was 10 seconds to me was about 70 hours to you.
Are you... God?
A complete mistake.
I am merely an anisotropic being.
If you wish to use the expression "God,"
the true divine miracle is you, humanity.
Shindo.
Will you come with me to the anisotropic?
zaShunina.
It was too soon, then?
It's done!
Shinawa-san, what happened to the Fregonics?
I can interfere with them.
I bet I could break them, too.
I see! It's the other side of this?
So, what do we do?
What?
I want to go to the other side.
Now!
I don't know about that...
No, I can't do it right away.
I just figured out that I can break it.
I need extra calculations, plus I'd need
to make some kind of device.
I can't just rip through it with my hands like an anisotropic being!
Isn't there something you can do?
Not a thing.
You're looking at three days, minimum.
Kado.
Shindo,
what I told you today was another effort to advance humanity and the universe.
I wanted you to properly understand the anisotropic
and come with me to the next stage.
However, it seems it was too soon.
This is a copy of you several hours ago, created by Kado.
I want to start over with this one.
And as for you,
I want you to disappear.
I see.
So you're the administrator of this cocoon.
Anisotropic being...
Tsukai Saraka.
Saraka-san!
I possess all of the anisotropic. You cannot fight me.
If you do that, humanity will be broken!
Tell me! What is the right answer?
Shindo, this is goodbye.
