Chapter 426 Purple Gold Diagram
Chapter 426 Purple Gold Diagram
After the old core received that response, the key rise in the melody disappeared in the next loop.
The way it disappears is not by being erased, but by being digested.
The rising pitch becomes a stable level tone, and the duration of the level tone is exactly the same as the previous two pitches.
But it didn't stop on the level tone.
The level tone continues until the third cycle, when it begins to drop, but the drop is very slight. After the drop, the pitch at the bottom is half a tone lower than the first tone.
After adding a half-tone bass note, the melody, which originally had only two alternating pitches, becomes three notes—the bass note at the beginning, the middle note in the middle, and the slightly higher note at the end.
The three-note cycle takes one more heartbeat's time than the previous two-note cycle.
Su Fan squatted on the city wall, quietly listening to the frequency ripples flowing from the golden thread in his palm.
The three pitches alternated steadily in a loop, each loop becoming a little more rounded than the last.
The transitions between notes have become much smoother than the initial abrupt shifts, like a rough stone that has been continuously polished and rolled in water for a long time before its edges begin to round out.
"The core of the old domain is continuously training its ability to hum melodies."
The sound of the void came from the direction of the void fissure, and the volume was lower than usual, as if afraid of disturbing the practice of that melody.
"It is trying to shorten the intervals between notes and fill the transitions with continuous frequency shifts."
After the slide is completed, there will be no break between the three pitches, and it will sound like a continuous curve that is slowly undulating.
Based on the current rate of improvement, it is estimated that in about seven or eight days, the melody will change from intermittent pitches to continuous wavy lines.
At that point, what it hums will no longer be three separate notes, but a complete, flowing melody of rules.
The rhythmic patterns and semantic structures enclosed within the lines will be completely integrated.
The melody itself becomes a form of expression where the complete meaning can be directly perceived without breaking it down into words.
"What meaning can it express through melody?" Su Fan asked.
"It can't express very complex meanings yet."
Ruins say.
"It has been humming for so many days, and the content of its humming has been repeatedly transforming around a core structure—that structure was originally the sound wave pattern of the word 'light', and now, after continuous transformation, it has become a generalized container of perception."
The container can hold anything.
What it is practicing now is not expressing a fixed meaning with melody, but making the melody itself a carrier that can directly carry the content of the rules.
Once its melodic expression ability matures to a certain extent, it can directly encode the frequency of the content into a melodic form and release whatever it wants to say.
At that time, the rise and fall of the melody itself will become the content.
In primitive language, expressing the content of a sentence using a straight line versus a curved line might only differ in tone, but in the core melodic system of the old domain, the angle and amplitude of the curve itself carry semantic density.
Su Fan placed the Pangu Axe on his knees and sat quietly, supporting himself with his hands on the city bricks.
The golden thread in his palm continuously transmitted the melody hummed by the core of the old domain into his perception range. The three-tone cycle, starting with a low note, followed by a middle note, and ending with a high note, created a very thin layer of law ripples on top of the two layers of background noise in his chest.
The undulating rhythm of the ripples and the pulsation of the seed were perfectly synchronized, like a melody repeatedly polished by the core of the old domain undergoing a gentle resonance exercise on him.
On the morning of the fifteenth day, the remnants of the fifteen-day deadline that the market had reported ahead of schedule were initially pieced together.
When announcing the market, the voice was very flat, but there was a very rare tremor beneath the flat tone.
After pulling his right hand out of his chest, he squatted on the edge of the crevice for a long time, then stood up and walked to the edge of the white rock plateau, palm up.
Of the seven active nodes on the Purple Gold Graph, the one marked as having the fastest progress is now emerging from the graph's surface with a very faint mist of law. The color of the mist is almost the same as the color of the smiling arc on the Old Domain Fragment.
"The initial assembly is complete."
The reverberation released the first pulse.
The pulse was slightly longer than expected, about three breaths.
The content is more complete than expected.
In addition to the last action of the old domain life form before it dissipated, there was indeed an additional equivalent structure echoing with golden morning light in the scene.
But there's a deeper layer than we expected—the golden morning light isn't presented side-by-side in the image; it's overlapping.
The golden light appeared behind the old domain life form, as if a golden light was spreading from the horizon behind where it was standing.
It was facing away from the light, but it turned its head slightly to take a look.
When it turned its head to the side, the camera captured the outline of its profile.
The facial expression on its outline is indistinct, but one can sense its emotional state of law at that fleeting moment—"
The market paused for a moment.
He flipped his palm over and over again, as if trying to confirm that he hadn't misread the shape of the mist of laws on the purple-gold diagram.
"At that moment, its emotional state was surprise."
It dissipated countless times, and the last frame of the original image only contained a simple afterimage of a movement.
Now that the golden data has been embedded in the core of the old domain, a light that it had never seen before suddenly appeared in its consciousness in the last moment before it dissipated.
When it sensed that light in the image, its first reaction was not confusion or resistance, but surprise.
Surprise mingled with curiosity.
It turned its head to look at the golden light, a glance that took almost a breath in the echoing pulse.
A breath is a very long duration for a reverberation.
In its final moments before dissipating, that ancient life form used a single breath to gaze upon a light it had never seen before.
Su Fan stood up from the South Heavenly Gate city wall, carried the Pangu Axe, and quickly walked to the edge of the Guixu Crack, where he squatted down.
He didn't put his hand in; he just squatted at the edge of the crack and quietly watched the purple-gold halo on the seed's surface glow with a dark gold fluorescence in the morning light.
The fluorescent layer brightened slightly more than usual for a moment when the old domain core released that reverberant pulse, and then returned to normal after it finished brightening.
"Was that reverberant pulse released to us, or to the old domain core itself?" Su Fan asked.
"Both."
Ruins say.
"The reverberation node itself has no autonomous consciousness; it simply returns the complete pulse, after it has been spliced together, to the core along the filament."
After receiving the pulse, the core synchronized two processing steps—one was stored in its own permanent storage structure, and the other was transmitted to the Primordial World through mirror resonance.
What we received was exactly the same as what the old domain core itself received.
The lingering sense of surprise felt by the ancient life form in the image as it turned its head to look at the light was something that the core itself could also perceive when receiving the image.
After sensing that moment of surprise, the flow rate of the aura on its core surface accelerated for an extremely short instant.
The moment of acceleration lasted less than the time it takes for one heartbeat, and then the speed returned to normal.
The original speed after recovery was slightly slower than before the acceleration.
The slight slowness signifies that after the core of the old domain sensed the life form's curiosity about the golden light within that reverberating pulse, it generated a kind of responsive emotional response based on the laws of nature.
Its emotion was not surprise, but confirmation.
He confirmed that the golden light data he had embedded had indeed been received by the echo, and that the echo had produced a positive law-based response to the golden light.
After confirmation, its core operating rhythm slowed down slightly—this slowdown was because it had achieved a certain stage of its objective and entered a brief, satisfying pause.
Su Fan reached his hand into the edge of the crack.
The distance between his fingers and the seed surface has grown so much in the past few days that he can almost touch the surface of the halo.
My fingertip stopped less than half a finger's width away from the halo, sensing the extremely thin layer of texture that had been added to the surface of the seed after the release of the reverberating pulse.
The texture is an extremely fine curve, and the curve's direction resembles the outline of a person's neck to shoulder when their head is turned to the side.
"The seed also preserved the head-turning motion within that reverberant pulse."
Su Fan's voice was very soft.
"It's not just about sealing up Jin Guang Data."
It also preserved the silhouette of that old-realm life form as it turned its head to look at the golden light.
The outline is now etched into the dark gold fluorescent layer of the seed's surface halo, slightly shallower than the previous gold patterns, but the shape is complete and clear.
After the ancient life form dissipated for countless eons, it turned its head to look at the outline of the golden light that had been preserved in the law seed of the primordial world.
Every day, as the primordial life forms pass by the seed, an outline on the seed remains in a tilted-head-looking-at-the-light posture.
Eros walked to the edge of the crack and squatted down next to Su Fan, raising his left hand towards the morning light.
The gold line on the palm and the newly etched side profile line on the seed surface do not follow the same path in the light, but the frequency of the law between the two lines produces a very weak synchronous vibration at the mirror resonance level.
It etched gold threads onto your body and the profile of your head onto the seed.
The two marks contain different content, but their underlying structural rules use the same set of modules.
The profile of the head is a texture that the Old Domain Core extracted from the reverberating pulse and compressed into a single line based on the law-based posture data of that life form when it turned its head.
The patterns were sealed into the dark gold fluorescent layer on the seed's surface, without covering the original gold patterns, and found their own place next to it.
The old domain core is now engraving golden patterns on the fragments, engraving the outline of the head on the surface of the seed, engraving golden lines for backup in your palm, and embedding golden data in the bottom layer of the echo.
It is doing four different things at the same time.
The four things are interconnected but each proceeds independently.
It is no longer just a simple recording process; it has established a complete distributed storage system for the data.
The system encapsulates the equivalent variants of the same batch of content on four different rule carriers. The variants on each carrier are different in form, but the underlying data is the same.
The fragments have golden patterns.
The seed shows the outline of a head.
The palm of your hand is covered in gold threads.
The underlying layer of the echo is embedded data in gold light.
Each of the four carriers has its own form, but their content all points to the same thing—after the light of the primordial dawn was absorbed into the core of the old domain, it exists simultaneously in four different locations in four different ways.
Su Fan pulled his left hand back and placed it on his knee.
The golden lines on the palm shone with a steady golden light in the morning light, and the outline of the seed's head within the dark golden fluorescent layer on its surface was faintly visible in the light.
The two marks were less than a meter apart, one on the outside of his palm and the other on the surface of the seed deep within the crack.
The underlying laws of the two engravings continuously exchanged extremely subtle information at the mirror resonance level, like two reflections facing each other across the water, each extending a very thin root from beneath its surface and connecting together.
"The old domain core is currently in a highly stable and satisfactory state."
Xu placed his right hand back on his chest and sensed it one last time.
"The manifestation of satisfaction is that the flow rate of the core surface halo stabilizes at a new rhythm that is slightly slower than before and no longer changes."
That gradual decrease in pace is an equivalent expression of the law of satisfaction.
It doesn't say "I'm satisfied" in some ancient language, but it has permanently added a speed level that is a little slower than before in its operating rhythm.
That gear position is it saying – I did it.
I embedded the light of the primordial world into it.
The echo has been received.
The seeds have been stored.
It was engraved with gold thread.
I did it.
Su Fan stood up and hoisted the Pangu Axe back onto his shoulder.
He glanced down at the golden line in his palm, then at the profile of the seed within the dark gold fluorescent layer on its surface.
Two engravings stood quietly in his sight, separated by a crack, one a warm gold and the other a dark gold, one old and one new.
"Will the old core hum a new melody starting tomorrow?"
"meeting."
Ruins say.
"Its three-tone melody automatically adds a new note during its operation after the release of the reverberant pulse."
The fourth note appears at the end of the three-note cycle, at a pitch between the second and third notes.
After adding the fourth note, the rhythm of the melody changed—it went from a cycle of four beats to a cycle of five beats.
The semantic structure corresponding to the extra beat, according to the analysis and inference by Xu this morning, is likely a compressed variant of the sound wave pattern of the word 'see'.
It weaves the two structural blocks of 'light' and 'seeing' into the same pitch sequence in a melodic way.
Once it has mastered the four-note version, it will add 'I' and 'you' to it.
Once the four core words 'light', 'see', 'I', and 'you' are all incorporated into the melody, it can speak a complete sentence using a complete melody.
That sentence would mean—'I see your light.'
Su Fan turned and walked towards the South Heavenly Gate city wall.
The morning light spread from the east, casting a very thin, warm golden path through the fluorescent glow on the surface of the golden thread.
The path starts from the beginning of the golden line in the palm, diagonally passes through the gap between the fingers, and lands on the dark golden fluorescent light of the side outline of the seed deep in the Guixu crack.
A faint golden line connected the two engravings.
The brightness of the connection is not high, but it is there.
The synchronous vibration of the law frequency between the two engravings at the mirror resonance level deepened slightly at this moment.
Just as the old domain core permanently gained a slightly slower speed in its operating rhythm, the golden line connecting the seed and Su Fan's palm also permanently gained an extremely thin layer of light.
The golden line between the primordial wilderness and the old realms brightened a little more than before.
The golden line grew brighter day by day in the days that followed.
The brightness increases slowly, only slightly more each day than the previous day, a difference that is almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
But every morning when Su Fan squatted on the South Heavenly Gate city wall to eat breakfast, he would turn his left hand over and take a look. The warm golden glow inside the golden line was indeed slowly increasing at an extremely steady rate.
As the melody was enhanced, it also changed—a new note was added to the four-note loop melody on the fourth day.
The fifth note is positioned slightly higher than the fourth note, and the difference in height is exactly equal to the equivalent length of the sound wave profile of the word "I" from beginning to end.
After adding the fifth note, the melody changed from a five-beat cycle to a six-beat cycle.
When the rhythm is prolonged, the whole melody sounds like a complete short sentence being recited repeatedly.
On the morning of the fifth day, Xu reported the analysis results.
"The five notes correspond to 'see', and the six notes add 'I'."
The rhythmic pattern of that melody has now become a loop of 'I', 'light', 'see', and 'you', but the order is still being fine-tuned.
It swapped the positions of 'see' and 'you' twice in the loop. After the swap, the current version's order is 'I', 'see', 'you', 'light'.
According to the original language and word order, this sentence should be 'I see your light'.
The melody word order of the core of the old domain is completely consistent with the word order of the primordial world.
It's using a primitive grammatical framework to hum the content of the old domain.
Su Fan swallowed the steamed bun, stood up, and clapped his hands. "It learns very quickly."
"It's learning much faster than Ruins initially estimated."
Xu's voice carried a faint sense of emotion.
"According to previous estimates, it would take seven or eight days to complete the melody continuity process, but it did it in five days."
The old domain core continues to improve its efficiency in learning language structures.
Each time it learns a new structural block, it integrates the new and old structural blocks into the melody system at a speed that is 10% faster than before.
Learning itself accelerates its own learning.
Its melody changed from intermittent pitches to continuous wavy lines yesterday evening.
The undulations of the wave line are extremely stable and smooth, without any abrupt breaks or jumps.
The core of the old domain was humming a complete and smooth melody of the law.
The melody's lyrics are—I see your light.
When it hummed those four words, the rise and fall of the melody line perfectly matched the natural tone curve of the ancient language.
The overlap rate is over 90%.
It precisely replicates the tonal contours of the primordial language using its own rules and structure.
After the replication was completed, it continuously looped the melody using its own frequency and rules, constantly fine-tuning the subtle positions of each note to bring the precision closer to perfect overlap.
After finishing breakfast, Su Fan did not go to Baiyan Plateau immediately.
He squatted down by the crenellations of the city wall, placed the Pangu Axe horizontally on his knees, and laid his left palm up on the axe.
The warm golden glow within the golden thread continued to shine in the morning light, and the wave-like lines of the complete melody inside the golden thread continuously flowed into his perception range through the bidirectional transmission structure at the bottom of the golden thread.
The melody's meaning in the ancient language is so clear that it requires no translation—"I see your light."
When the core of the old domain repeated the melody of those four words, the rise and fall of each note precisely matched the natural tone curve produced by the resonance of the throat cavity when speaking the primordial language.
He closed his eyes and listened for a while.
Above the two layers of background noise in his chest, the layer of law ripples continuously looped the melody of those four words. Each loop was smoother and more fluid than the last, as if the core of the old domain had found an extremely comfortable resonance position in that melody and then stopped adjusting the rhythm, simply and steadily confirming the existence of that sentence with that rhythm.
He stood up, shouldered the Pangu Axe, and walked towards the Guixu Crack.
When they reached the White Rock Plateau, Eros and Ruins were already standing at the edge of the rift.
The purple-gold halo on the seed surface shone with an extremely stable and uniform light in the morning light. The outline of the head in the dark gold fluorescent layer on the surface of the halo lit up briefly when the core of the old domain circulated "I see your light", and then returned to its original state.
A Dou squatted on the white rock next to him, his small axe resting on his knees, the golden line in the axe blade's halo shimmering gently in rhythm with the melody.
"Starting from early this morning, new content was added to the old domain core during the intervals between loops of that melody."
Eros activated all ten law patterns on his hands, and the light screen formed by the dark purple beams displayed the real-time status of the law structure inside the core of the old domain.
"It incorporates a new structural block into the melody."
The structural block is located after the three words "your light," right next to the final sound.
The new structural block contains the phrase "I saw it"—which, when combined with the preceding "your light," transforms the entire melody into "I saw your light, I saw it."
The sentence is awkward because it attempts to combine two similar structural blocks for comparison.
It contrasts the structural differences between the two expressions, 'I see your light' and 'I saw'.
The results of the comparison are transmitted synchronously through subtle variations in the melody.
The old core was doing three things simultaneously—humming melodies, adjusting precision, and conducting grammatical comparison experiments.
Su Fan squatted at the edge of the crack and reached his hand in.
His fingertips were so close to the surface of the seed that they could almost touch the purple-gold halo. The law patterns emanating from his fingertips made extremely slight contact with the surface of the halo the moment they approached it.
The moment he made contact, he sensed that two independent copies of the law structure were operating simultaneously inside the seed—one copy contained the law frequency data of the complete melody "I see your light," and the other copy contained the equivalent structure of the sound wave pattern of the three words "I see" that the old domain core had just inserted.
The two copies operate side-by-side within the seed, without interfering with each other, but occasionally they exchange extremely subtle ripples of law.
The exchanged data consists of the differences in pitch sequences and rhythmic patterns within their respective structures.
The old domain core is simultaneously observing and analyzing the differences in the rule structure between the two modes of expression by operating with two copies of the seed.
It is learning how to make the expression of melody more precise.
It's not just about being able to hum a sentence; it wants to figure out why saying a sentence this way sounds better than saying it another way.
"It's still learning."
Su Fan withdrew his finger, stood up, and looked at the halo on the surface of the seed.
"We learn languages faster than any of us expected."
It can now hum complete sentences, conduct grammatical comparison experiments, and simultaneously store the comparison results into a seed copy while continuously fine-tuning the precision of the melody.
Its learning method is completely different from how we taught it—it no longer passively receives audio data and then disassembles and splices it together.
It generates its own structure, compares differences on its own, stores data on its own, and adjusts its own precision.
It can already learn on its own.
Eros folded the light screen back into his palm. "What's the next step in self-studying the Old Domain Core?"
Su Fan remained silent for a while.
"It will hum the phrase 'I see your light' until it's memorized, and then add a question mark to the melody."
Previously, during the two-syllable phase, it added a rising tone question, which asked, "Are you awake?"
Now it has learned complete sentence structures, and it can ask questions using complete melodies.
The question won't be complicated; it'll probably just be something like, "Did you see my light?"—just swap the subject and object to turn the original sentence into a question.
After completing the comparative experiment, it will begin to experiment with the construction of questions.
Once it learns to ask questions, it will be able to have a real conversation with the primordial world.
It's no longer a one-way transmission where one party sends a picture and the other replies, or one party hums a song and the other listens; it's a real dialogue.
He asked a question, and we answered.
We ask a question, and it answers.
Xu stood up from the edge of the crevice, pulling his right hand out from his chest and spreading it out.
The purple-gold diagram in the palm of the hand shows that the two experimental structural copies inside the old domain core have completed the exchange of differential data. After the exchange is completed, the core is integrating the exchange results into the underlying structure of the main theme for adjustment.
The adjustment was minimal, only slightly raising the pitch of the last syllable of "your light" by half a notch.
After the pitch was raised, the ending of the entire melody rose even more, and the tone changed from a statement to an open ending with a slight questioning tendency.
"It's giving the melody a new tone."
Ruins say.
"It doesn't change the whole sentence into a question; it just adds a slight upward pitch shift at the end."
The shift was minimal, but it changed the tone of the entire sentence from a plain statement to an open state of "this sentence isn't finished yet, you finish it."
It leaves a space at the end of the melody.
That space was prepared for the prehistoric world.
Su Fan hoisted the Pangu Axe back onto his shoulder.
"Then I'll add a sentence."
Eros, seal the words I uttered this morning while crouching on the city wall, 'I have seen your light,' into a seed and send it to him.
The word order of that sentence is "I saw your light," which is not the same word order as "I saw your light" hummed by the Old Domain Core.
When conducting comparative experiments, if it receives a sentence with the same meaning but different word order, it can more clearly distinguish the impact of differences in rule structure on semantics.
Eros quickly sealed that message into a seed and sent it out.
Less than half an incense stick later, the slightly upturned note at the end of the melody in the core of the old domain fell back down.
It landed at a new pitch that was half a notch lower than the original pitch.
The new pitch position is exactly the same as the natural tone of the last word in the sentence Su Fan sent, "I saw your light."
The core of the old domain adjusted the ending pitch of the melody to be exactly the same as the words Su Fan had spoken.
The core of the melody is still "I see your light", but the final note is Su Fan's voice.
The pitches from the two sources overlap at the end of the melody, and after overlapping, they merge into a new common pitch.
That pitch was neither the original ending pitch of the old domain core, nor the pitch of the last word of the sentence Su Fan transmitted; it was somewhere in between.
Su Fan looked down at the golden line in his palm and sensed the location of the new pitch. The pitch stabilized after it fell within the range of his law perception.
After stabilizing, the old domain core continued to loop that melody, stopping at the middle pitch each time it reached the end of the loop and never changing.
It chose that middle position as the common point of both the word order "I saw your light" and "I saw your light".
Two sounds from different sources merge into one note at the end of the melody.
