The Human Preception of Reality in Borges' The Library of Babel

The reality seems difficult for us to understand. We do not know the exact reasons for our lives and the reasons for which we exist, but there are many theories that could be the cause. For example, Christians believe that God created the world in the sixth day, and we live, worship and worship with his creation. Jose Luis Borges likes to try out his story, but one of the themes he often uses is the essence of reality. Borges created a misleading space in the "Babe Library" and could not grasp specific concepts because of the limitations that people can perceive.

Imagine a library (such as the Babel Library from Borges) that contains all possible books (ie books consisting of alphabetically ordered letters). In library books, every book contains two - way (or three - party) conversations meaningful among people. All possible conversations are in the book. You can start a conversation any way you wish (or you can include an opening line in a huge track, including periods of silence). But let's say you started. In response to your first statement like "initial!", the machine immediately finds all books containing reasonable dialogue with this starting line and randomly chooses it:

Below is the hexadecimal name and location of the English version of Borghese short story "Babel Library". It is stored in the Babel Library. Please note that these names and locations will not be changed. They are used as an indexing system. Each hexadecimal name is still a very primitive name, as it may be as long as the page it points to. Furthermore, because pages of the same text are scattered throughout the library, you can not search the second page by systematically knowing the location of the first page. In other words, there is still a long way to go. But this idea is very promising. After all, all the possible texts are there. ;)

The network gave us noise. In the Babel library, Borges explores the social consequences of living in an infinitely contradictory world of information. The possible combinations of characters are displayed in the library. The library must include all the writable books or books. However, since there is no way to solve the infinite change of each text, all information is meaningless. Since the early days of the Internet, the problem was not the cost of generating data, but how to classify it. If you do not have the cost to generate e-mails, how do you fight spam? If you do not have the cost to create a new story, how do you judge the truth? Almost all "innovation" built over the Internet is basically a mechanism to reduce that infinity to an accessible ratio.
