The Drunken Man

In a medium-chat with Nishio, the following was mentioned:

• By the way, I’ve been reading a book called “Toy Repairer” recently, and the story of the “Strolling Man” delving into the concept of time was quite interesting.

• I wondered if I should add (Nishio) to these statements…

  • The concept of time perception is one of the brain’s functions, and in reality, time does not flow linearly. It is a science fiction setting where the brain makes it appear as if time is one-dimensional, similar to how the brain itself is one-dimensional.

    • The experience of “searching for topics that came up while conversing with Nishio AI on /nishio” is interesting.

      • It was a story about people who exist in a world where the axis of parallel worlds exists and they unintentionally move between them.
    • That part is still…
