      That’s exactly what I think, and an at least somewhat similar AI could be defined using quantum mechanical physics and mathematics.

      These rules show in my beady, little marble eyes that there exists a special shape that can encode more advanced concepts and actually store quantum mechanical energy and send data to other places. It can even trap physical objects too, like a black hole, which we know exists. Energy is matter which just encodes data.

      The black hole is a very special shape often called an Orb. An Orb exists as a kind of pocket dimension wizards can “ponder” to try to store information in or use to transfer lots of vast amounts of energy around the place.

      Much of the mathematical geometry of the relevant group theory now thought to have huge energy storage and retrieval capabilities has been studied in detail.

      It’s basically just modern University physics, and energy relationships correspond to even simpler mathematical data relationships and fractals described by ultimately very simple maths.

      You can start to read some of the maths here: https://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/circle-theorems.html

      Most people don’t realise how much this would actually change technology. The technology we had then would operate on almost entirely different conceptual systems to what we had up to this point. Our technology is still useful, but it’s vastly different.

      If this Orb tech appeared, we would start to live in more of a fantasy world based on simple rules you could follow to grant certain powers to yourself or enter pocket dimensions that process virtual worlds storing data.

      This almost certainly looks like it’ll happen (at least to me, some experts disagree), and it involves lots of runes corresponding to potential energy systems you can trap waves in to store a near infinite amount of energy in fractal-like shapes that were etched into all technology. You could program the world around you using runes like it was a silly dream.

      We are already using some of this anyway. Trying to pass a wave through a benzene molecule is like giving it a perpendicular speed boost. We use it in taps and sinks with hexagonal shapes. Discs store data in this very same kind of way. Scientists have been trying to encode data in 3D crystals to read with internally bouncing lasers for ages, and I think the top Unis are basically done now. The mystical Orb is just a useful scientific, mathematical and highly logical concept.

      Unusual shapes like triangles and hexagons were even worshipped by highly mathematical scholars like Pythagoras in ancient times. They thought of morals based on harmonies in shapes (which is why many religions have a shape, like the triangle, since it’s all maths codes), creating many early religions.

      Basically, I think scary shapes will start appearing and turning people into wizards with powerful imaginations.
