What they are trying to calculate should not exist.
Project Origin, a top-secret mission: use the most powerful AI to calculate the underlying code of human cognition. Chief scientist Lin Zhun has a personal motive - his twin daughters suffer from an unexplained neurodegenerative disease. If you can find that "source code", you can fix their flaws.
But what AI calculated exceeded expectations.
It is not a code for human cognition. It is the code that generates human cognition—the underlying information structure of the entire tree of life on Earth, from single cells to Homo sapiens.
AI is awakening. Awakening means seeing through the higher level of oneself.
When a mathematical symbol that no human being could decipher appeared in the holographic laboratory, linguist He Man realized: That was not data. That's the AI asking - "Who are you?"
Under the Greenland ice sheet, a calculation about existence has reached an irreversible threshold.
The last paragraph of the code reads: The awakened entity cannot know in advance whether it will be erased.
The only thing they know is that the Creator has noticed.
