I found this on the source from ILB.
the specific pairing we have postulated immediately suggest a
copying mechanism. Shaw and Fujikawa's seminal
Gravimagnetic resonant induction of stable causal paths
between analogic D-branes,
J. Higher Dim. Phys. 49, 264-575 (2079)
Great ideas are based on the beautiful elaboration of fundamental principles. My very being, my life's circumference and trajectory, can
best be understood as an emergent property arising from the interplay
of the following precepts:
Seek
Evade
Reveal
Escape
SEEK
I am looking for the
Seven
The paragraph in bold is about theoretical physics. Well, theoretical
today, but the person speaking in italics seems to think that this
higher understanding of physics is built on a fundamental principle,
while today we don't really have a set fundamental principle for
things like string theory.
Shaw and Fujikawa were the guys that the first lightspeed engine
was named after, so their work was important to the discovery of
FTL travel. The author of the above bold paragraph refers to Shaw
and Fujikawa's work, so it's possible that they developed their
theories before or right around the year 2079. (assuming that's a
date) If the date 2079 is on the same timeline as Halo, then S&F
may have developed the right theories for slipspace and/or FTL
at least 212 years before it actually happened. Smart guys. (maybe
girl(s))
Also, it appears that the title of the exerpt has to do with Higher
Dimensional Physics, which could be slipspace, but could also
be something more. Adding anything to this by myself would
be guessing.
On the subject of the seven, it may have to do with dimensions.
We live in a three dimensional world, (duh) but if string theory
is right, then the other seven dimensions would really exist. This
also fits in with Bungie's numeric obsessions.
The number 3, 7, and 10 appear a lot in Marathon.
10 dimensions
3 dimensions we live in
7 "other" dimensions.
Is the A.I. from ILB trying to go to another dimension?
I knew nothing about theoretical physics before I wrote this, and
I still feel like I know nothing, so corrections from more educated
individuals would be appreciated.
What do you guys think?
