Today I read a small story from Jorge Luis Borges called “The Library of Babel”.
I have since been thinking and thinking!
It´s a fascinating small story.
Read it here:
Check also this site: At present it contains all possible pages of 3200 characters, about 104677 books.
If you like art check out this page:
“Image Archives permute the 4096 colors, and rather than a page of 40 lines each with 80 characters, the images are pixel grids with 416 rows and 640 columns. It contains every image that ever has been or could be created with this color palette in these dimensions, including portraits of every person who ever lived at every moment in their life, digitized versions of every work of art ever created, even those lost to history, as well as every work of art which ever could be created, and photographs of your own birth, wedding, and funeral. It contains 4096266240 (~10961755) unique images.”
As you can imagine it´s pretty useless, but then again. This becomes very philosophical, but maybe can become practical. A great article led me this way. I will dig deeper!
A question you can think about is: What can represent all and every solutions to a problem?
