A Game For Inventing New Libraries
Our intention, with this essay, is exploring.
Exploring what?
A fun tool you can use to invent libraries.
Or, at the very least, something along those lines.
Your Own, Personal Random Input Module
A “Random Input Module” — or “RIM,” for short — is a list.
A list of what?
Different items. Different notions. Different thoughts. Different concepts. Different ideas.
And so on and so forth, endlessly and infinitely; ad infinitum.
You can learn more about them by reading my “Your Own, Personal Random Input Module” essay.
And, you can find a RIM right below:
- The Ocean.
- Photography.
- Ideas.
- Language
- Physics
- Transcendence.
- The Imaginal.
- Mystery.
- Infinity.
- Concept Engineering.
- Puppets.
- Larva.
- Lighthouses.
- Outer Space.
- Solar Energy.
- Physics.
- Information.
- Thought.
- Memory.
- Dreaming.
Every single item on this RIM serves as an element.
You can play with these elements.
And, in doing so, you can manipulate, combine, shape, distort, craft, riff on, elaborate upon — ad infinitum — them, in ways that allow for an infinite wealth of new libraries to arise.
Or, for that matter, an infinite wealth of new ideas, concepts, notions; ad infinitum.
To use the RIM outlined above, you can use a random number generator to obtain two items from the RIM.
Or, three items. Four items, even. Among other possibilities.
Just as an example, “The Ocean” and “Photography.”
Right after you obtain those items, you can combine them, with the intent of making a new library.
If you do this, and if you give yourself the freedom to think and muse, you will come up with something really cool.
You can find three examples that outline what can arise from using this RIM.
Example 01: The Ocean Of Photography
Our first library is a combination of “The Ocean” and “Photography.”
If we combine these elements, we get the following libraries:
- A library sitting on an island in a vast ocean, surrounded by water and mystery.
- A library filled with photographs of forgotten oceans; oceans born, and lost, in a fallen world.
- A library buried within an infinite ocean, holding remnants of our past lives.
And so on and so forth, endlessly and infinitely; ad infinitum.
You can dive into one of these ideas. And, in doing so, make something very special.
Just as an example, the library sitting on an island in a vast ocean was grown from a single thought, born from a fallen God, giving birth to a library that contains, and generates, endless knowledge.
Or, at least, something like that.
Example 02: The Language Of Physics
Our second library is a combination of “Language” and “Physics.
If we combine these elements, we get the following libraries:
- A library sculpted from language, buried within the infinite depths of the Universe.
- A library filled with books that explore the Secret Language of the Universe.
- A library made of words that, when spoken, give birth to an infinite library within our endless Mind.
And so on and so forth, endlessly and infinitely; ad infinitum.
By exploring the second idea, we get: a library filled with books, forgotten tomes of scholarly lore, and hyper-digital informational spheres made of fractal language that explore, and clarify, the Secret Language of the Universe.
And, when this language is spoken, we gain omnipotence and omniscience; ad infinitum.
Example 03: A Library Of Thought
Our third library is a combination of “Concept Engineering” and “Thought.”
If we combine these elements, we get the following libraries:
- A library that generates concepts through the shared thoughts of those who read the books.
- A library filled with books that exist as a thought-medium; pure thoughts that you ingest.
- A library housing the near-endless works of the Concept Engineers; a forgotten group of scholars.
And so on and so forth, endlessly and infinitely; ad infinitum.
By exploring the second idea, we get: books that are made of pure thought and, in reading these books, you ingest generative thoughts that flow through your mind, give birth to new ideas, transcend your limits; ad infinitum.
