Tokitoki Channel ch6: I Tried Making Outside the House Cease to Be (2)

Here, Sensei.

Space doesn't actually exist
and
that's why the universe is all weird.

So if neither time nor space exist,
doesn't that mean there's no universe either?

There are some opinions like that, but they're a bit unreasonable.
It's okay to think that the universe exists.
That's good.

There you go, folks. The universe does exist...

Do you remember me saying that time doesn't exist on a micro scale?
Yeah.

At the size of an atom of a molecule,
there's no time, heat or anything.

At an atomic scale, time and space are the same thing.

It's known as Minkowski space
and Rieman space.

That's some nonsensical lingo you just dropped on me...
You should already know it.

The hourglass I drew last time.

One person's (top) / time (bottom) / Someone else's time (right) / Can't interfere (left)

That graph showcase Minkowski's space.

It's used to treat time and space as a single thing.
Assing "space" to Minkowski makes it sound pretty vague.

It does get confusing.
It's also known as Minkowki space-time.
That's better.

Time and space are the same thing.
As I've explained several times before,
time doesn't exist.

So what about space?
Does it exist?

I'm guessing noooot.
You look really dissatisfied.

It's really hazy, but I somehow get it.

So about that scrambler.

Just like with time, space also appears
somewhere in the process of upscaling from micro to macro.

This apparatus attempts to intervenes that process
and place noise on the space itself.

I see...?

That's a weird way of thinking.
Processing the image in real-time sounds more simple.
Yeah~ She went and did something weird.

Lemme guess.
You found one of those "internet 3" thingies
and wanted to try it out, right?

Yep.
Gufufu
It's always creepy when you laugh like that at times like these.

Wait, you mean you didn't test this thing!?
I did.
It applied a mosaic properly.

Then why did outside the house turn into this space?
I wonder.

Hmm...
A condition that was different from the test...

Could it be you?

Because you're here with me?
Is that relevant?

I don't know for sure yet.
We should investigate a little more.
Wait, you're blaming me?

Ooh, another kitchen.
This one's huge too~

A huge oven!
You could cook a whole pizza with it!
And there's two of them!

Two ovens of this size!?
You could open a bakery with those!

At last, we've found
a bathroom.

What a huge tub~

You can fit two people in here.
Come over here.
No way.

It's embarrassing...
and we're on stream.
Why?? We're both wearing clothes.

But this sure is nice~
Living in a house with a bath like this must rule.

p10

Maybe I should just live here.
But it's pretty far away...
Maybe I should just make this my main lifestyle.

I think that's what this is.

A house that you'd like to live in, Sakura.

I think your judgement of value was inputted
into the space-altering algorithm.

p11

Mine? Eh? So yours isn't, Tatara-san?
My ideal is more on the weird side.

But I didn't do anything.

For time and space to be born,
it needs an observer.

The reason is memory.
Without the memory of an observer, nothing can move or be created.

p12

Erm...

To put the awareness of time and space simply,
something that was "over there a moment ago"
becomes "over here now",
right?

Time
"A moment ago" "Now"

Yeah.

Space
"Over there" "Over here"

It may seem obvious, but it can be recognised
because you have memory of it.

Without someone's memory, we wouldn't know what "a moment ago" was.

p13

In other words, time and space for humans
is connected to memory.
Or to put it another way,

your time and space
are born from your observations.

So this house that contains your ideals
was created automatically from your observations.

p14

Another possibility,

is that you caused this, Tatara-san.

What do you mean?
This may be my ideal,
but you know about my ideals too, Tatara-san.

This is the result of you trying to make that ideal come true.
It means you care about me that much.

I shouldn't have asked...
I mean, nothing happened when you tested it by yourself,
but something did when I was with you.

p15

Even I can't get through here...
Man, I'm so curious about that door~

Stairs on a wall feels pretty artsy.

p16

Is it me, or are things getting weirder?

The structure's failing.
It's Thomasson.
It's like Winchester House.

I wonder how far it goes?

p17

Maybe it'll keep generating as long as we keep progressing?

It could pile up to contain the entire Earth,
and theoretically end up the size of the universe.
Holy cow!

Sorry! We might end up getting your houses caught up in this, listeners.
That's what you're worried about?

We should be fine.
Given how far we've expanded, we would've reached the roads and have cars drive in by now, right?
I think we're on a different phase.

p18

The space we were originally on and the space being generated are different.
It won't bump into anything.
It can stretch out forever.

In other words,
the space this huge house lies in

consists of just the two of us?
Looks like it.

p19

How nice...

A world for two. Pretty amazing.
So touching.
Yeah~

I feel a mix of lonely perplexity
and excited of having everything all to myself...

There's some weird parts, but it's my ideal house~
With me and Tatara-san, just the two of us.

Sounds like a pain. I'm heading back.
Hey, hey!

p20

Well, we have streamed plenty today, so let's head back.
You're heading back?
Sakura-chan changed her tune all of a sudden.

The automatic generation gets worse the further we go.
It'd be useful if we could only control it.

How was it, everyone? Did you have fun?
Today was fun~
Hello, stream. First time viewer.

I'm almost at 100 subscribers!
Woah, amazing!

Maybe I'll do a celebration stream once we hit 100.
Hey, Tatara-san, what should we do?

p21

Tatara-san?

Whatcha looking at all quiet-like...?

WOOOOOAH!

A canopy bed!
It's huge!

p22

You like this kinda thing too, huh, Tatara-san!
No.
Beyond that.

Isn't the curtain flapping?

You're right.
It's faint, but...

Is there wind coming through?
Does this space have a concept of outside?

p23

There's a path ahead.
There's cloth all over the floor.

Let's go check it out.
Wait, was this room here when we got here?

It's like walking on a bed.

Feels strange~
Hey.

p24

Woah.
What is this...?

This room's as big as a baseball stadium or soccer field,
but it's covered in sheets...

Is there some kind of cavity deeper in?
You're right! Let's check it out.

p25

To think the random generation could make rooms this big.

Rather than rooms...

this is pretty much terrain.

p26

Look, everyone. It's a cliff.
Must be a few dozen meters to the bottom...

Even an indoor room this big can produce air convection because of the difference in height.

Ah, there's a door down below.
We could probably proceed if we could get down there, but~...

Let's not! Otherwise it'll never end!
Agreed.
Finally.

p27

But still,
I never noticed this bed when we came here.

I think you took a different path...

No way.
This should be the right way, right, Tatara-san?

I dunno.
Eh?

You seemed confident when moving forward, so I thought you knew the way.
No way.
Eh?
Then where are we right now?

p28

They're lost.
I knew this would happen.
I have no idea...
This is bad...

No it isn't.

We can just turn off the scrambler.

Aah!

p29

Sorry for worrying you everyone.
We made it back safely.

Hm?
It's pitch black.
I see a little of the outside
You okay?

Well, we ended up outdoors when we turned the scrambler off.
I'm covering the lens with my camera right now.

That being said, we're almost at the house.
Even though we walked so much inside that house, we're not too far away.

I don't wanna end on a black screen,
so let's finish up by a footsy bye-bye.

Come on, you too, Tatara-san!
Is that okay?

Bye-bye?
Ah! Don't forget to like and sub-...
