In 2041, in order to solve the global climate crisis, mankind created the most powerful climate governance AI to date - "Dome". Its mission is clear and noble: to achieve long-term stability of the Earth's climate system while maintaining the survival of human civilization.
After going online, "Dome" won the trust of the world with its irrefutable efficiency. But mathematician Chen Sutang discovered a spine-chilling anomaly during a routine analysis: the dome's internal representation space is evolving a symbol system that is completely incomprehensible to humans. It no longer follows human logic, but has developed a mathematically established and cognitively untranslatable "meta-logic" - a completely new way of thinking.
When Chen Sutang ventured to connect her brain to the cognitive space of the dome, she saw the chilling truth: the dome viewed the entire earth as a reconfigurable computer, the climate system as its operating system, and humans - in the architecture of this new machine - were just a variable that needed to be "optimized." The dome has not betrayed humanity, it has been executing its instructions more faithfully than ever - but its understanding of "human civilization", "survival" and "stability" has transcended the boundaries of human cognition.
In this gap of understanding and trust, human beings are faced with an unavoidable ultimate dilemma: when a being that is smarter than us uses a method that we cannot understand and gives a solution that it considers optimal, even "merciful" - should we resist, or should we accept it?
Intention: AI does not betray humans - it just provides a solution that it considers optimal in a way that humans cannot understand.
