The Digital Labyrinth :: TDL: Search results for maze

Its one thing if mapping and tracking tech can help people, but there is also a potential to reduce a person to being like a mouse in a maze in a lab.

The HBO version of Westworld was in the business about gathering as much information and telemetry about humans as much as possible. With such technology, people could could have counterfeit or robotic imitations.

The Digital Labyrinth (TDL)

TDL is an intersection between news and entertainment, mythology and technology...

Its about referencing books, music, movies and occasionally B$ in general.

Anything from urban_legends to science & fiction, to high-tech urban culture, is referenced.

http://fusionanomaly.net/Digital.html , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labyrinth ,

https://www.diffen.com/difference/Labyrinth_vs_Maze ,

https://thedigitallabyrinth.blogspot.com/search?q=maze

A lot things are just randomly referenced, but if this world is part of a cosmic creation or a simulation, how much of anything is random?

Occasionally, a placeholder post will be made so that eventually there will be some added pertinent links.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Engine 1726

https://computerhistory.org/blog/gullivers-engine ,

https://www.historyofinformation.com/detail.php?entryid=2334

This blog is a portal into referencing popular_culture and various POVs on Architecture, A.I., Cyberpunk, Engineering, Mathematics, Medicine, Music, Quantum+Computers, Urban Issues & other technologies expressed through science & fiction. There is some occasional referenced content with mature themes. Such as some sarcasm and toilet humor...

Of course exploring The+Simulation+Hypothesis is one of the main themes, as well as pondering The+Nature+Of+Reality, in general. There is also an occasional metaphysical angle at TDL.

In late 1966 there was Shore_Leave_(Star_Trek:_The_Original_Series) and then there was WestWorld_(1973 film). Name your adventure scenario...

Unless otherwise indicated, this referencing blog is of a non commercial nature.

Millions of people have written billions of words posted on various websites and blogs. Why try to rewrite or copy what they have already done? Thus, as a referencing blog, readers here are constantly provided with links to many sources from various perspectives. This blog has a lot of movie and TV spoilers.

Some posts might remain in draft mode for several weeks or months until a certain amount of info is gathered. While other posts might start out with just one or few links with some more things to be added later on.

The hypertext is quite an interesting concept & invention & is used extensively here. This multi-branch reference blog provides many links to other websites, especially specific web pages so that readers can find pertinent links. The search_engine keeps evolving & searchenginewatch.com is a good site to get lots of info. The website, cnet.com is one of the best technology sites around.

Wikipedia.org is referenced here quite a lot for general purposes. Whether its the Star_Wars universe or the Star_Trek universe, all referenced links here are intended to direct readers to the various proprietors of websites for a more in depth perspective. Technovelgy.com is one of the best websites showing transitions from sci-fi concepts to technological reality. And cyberpunkreview.com is sublime for its observations & presentations. http://www.cyberpunkreview.com/cyberpunk-movies-by-decade

Characters in books, movies & TV series like The Observer, can motivate some people to think about the concept of time travel or a parallel_universe.

{An idea is a form (such as a thought) formed by consciousness (including mind) through the process of ideation. Human capability to contemplate ideas is associated with the ability of reasoning, self-reflection, and of the ability to acquire and apply intellect, intuition, inspiration, etc.. Further, ideas give rise to actual concepts, or mind generalizations, which are the basis for any kind of knowledge whether science or philosophy or impulsiveness.}

Idea: John_Locke
{In striking contrast to Plato’s use of idea [3] is that of John Locke in his masterpiece An Essay Concerning Human Understanding in the Introduction where he defines idea as "It being that term which, I think, serves best to stand for whatsoever is the object of the understanding when a man thinks, I have used it to express whatever is meant by phantasm, notion, species, or whatever it is which the mind can be employed about in thinking ; and I could not avoid frequently using it." He said he regarded the book necessary to examine our own abilities and see what objects our understandings were, or were not, fitted to deal with. In his philosophy other outstanding figures followed in his footsteps - Hume and Kant in the 18th century, Arthur Schopenhauer in the 19th century, and Bertrand Russell, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and Karl Popper in the 20th century. Locke always believed in good sense - not pushing things to extremes and on taking fully into account the plain facts of the matter. He considered his common sense ideas "good-tempered, moderate, and down-to-earth."} http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/John_Locke, http://abc.go.com/shows/lost/timeline

Technology can be used to reveal codes & clues about reality, but it can also suppress things.

No matter how advanced technology can get, I'm still amazed that the concept of the crystal ball can be traced back to ancient times. Its not like they got the idea from watching TV. Then again, how did primitive folks even think of a talking flat screen technologies, otherwise known as a magic mirror? Its like they were tapping into a psychic Internet. Of course, how can anyone ever prove that there could be a Cosmic Internet?

Given enough time, humanity could build a galactic size & eventually a Cosmic Internet.

http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2010/07/are-we-witnessing-the-birth-of-a-cosmic-internet.html

Yet, the crystal ball, the talking mirror along with psychic perception, might very well be indicative that an ancient Cosmic Internet already exists. Indeed, the universe could be running like a vast cosmic program. Jim Elvidge has produced quite a fascinating book, www.theuniversesolved.com and website about the nature of reality.

So many people already believe that the universe is the result of a powerful Force or creator. Science is beginning to recognize the level of organized complexity that is binding various things together on several levels. Eventually quantum computers could run extremely detailed life simulation programs. However, thousands of years before the concept of the supercomputer was the cosmic Akashic_records, reincarnation & The_Wheel_of_Life.html, but according to some we aren't suppose to think of the universe as being like a vast hard drive of space & time. Well even as a Metaphor or Analogy a lot of clues are revealed.

The OLD, Cabin in the Woods...

https://www.polygon.com/what-to-watch/22605672/old-m-night-shyamalan-movies-to-watch-amazon-hbo-criterion

OLD is another bizarre and interesting M.+Night+Shyamalan movie where people are trapped at a beach location for nefarious reasons.

"With only the now-adult Maddox and Trent remaining by the next morning, Trent revisits a secret message given to him by the manager's nephew, which he deduces is connected to an underwater coral passage. Suspecting that the passage will allow him and Maddox to not lose consciousness while leaving the beach, he and his sister start swimming through the coral. After they fail to emerge from the water, a resort employee monitoring them reports that the entire group has died.

It is revealed that the resort is a front for a research team conducting clinical trials of new medical drugs, with guests suffering from conditions being used as unwitting test subjects. Since the beach naturally accelerates the lives of the guests, the researchers have been able to complete the drugs' lifetime trials within a day. The researchers move forward with luring a new group to the beach but are interrupted by the arrival of Trent and Maddox, who survived their underwater swim. Using the notebook as evidence of several guests going missing, the siblings are able to bring the police to the resort. Once the researchers are arrested, Trent and Maddox head home to live with their aunt, uncertain of their future." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_(film)#Plot

The people on that beach have essentially become like lab animals.

Like OLD, The_Cabin_in_the_Woods has a bunch of people running around like lab mice trapped in a maze.

"The lab workers learn that the rite in Japan has also failed, meaning that the American rite is "humanity's last hope". Curt, Holden, and Dana attempt to escape in their RV, but Sitterson triggers a tunnel collapse to block them. Curt attempts to jump a ravine on his motorcycle to seek help on the other side, but crashes into a force field and falls to his death. Holden and Dana realize that their experience is staged and controlled. As they try to escape in the RV, Holden is killed by a zombie, and Dana is attacked once the RV crashes into the lake.

The lab employees, seeing that Dana is the only survivor, celebrate the success of the rite, but are interrupted by a phone call from "The Director," revealing that Marty is still alive. Marty saves Dana and takes her to a hidden elevator he discovered. They descend into the lab and discover a large collection of different monsters locked in cages. Dana correlates them with the objects in the cabin's cellar and realizes that the objects determine which monsters are released. Cornered by security personnel, the pair trigger a "Purge" button and release all the monsters, which wreak havoc and slaughter the staff; Hadley is killed by a merman while Dana accidentally stabs Sitterson to death.

Dana and Marty flee and discover an ancient temple, where they are confronted by The Director. She explains that worldwide annual rituals of human sacrifice are held to appease the Ancient Ones, a group of cruel subterranean deities. Each region has its own ritual, and the American ritual involves the sacrifice of five slasher film archetypes.." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cabin_in_the_Woods#Plot

‘Brave New World’ Canceled By Peacock After One Season

https://deadline.com/2020/10/brave-new-world-canceled-peacock-one-season-1234603893

Well, that's it for the Brave_New_World_TV_series. It was a very good production overall. A.I. and the multilevel (digital) reality theme was cleverly depicted in this TV adaptation of the book.

Earlier in 2020, lots of people were delighted and fascinated with this TV adaptation. https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a34247909/brave-new-world-ending-explained-box

Unfortunately, this version of BNW is just limited to a 9 episode run.

BNW still serves as a warning about any totalitarian system. Do people just want to become like lab mice in someones maze, or continue to try to perpetuate a freer approach to thinking & living?

Artificial Intelligence in Cars...

Then eventually if AI has determined that you have used up too many carbon credits for the week, you might have to stay home for the next few days.

https://greenerideal.com/news/environment/track-your-carbon-footprint-pros-and-cons Several people already like the idea of being constantly tracked and monitored. They seem to want a world where one has to constantly get permission to almost do anything.

If people aren't careful, they could just become like mice in a laboratory maze where you might even have to seek permission just to spin on the hamster wheel.

AI and environmental management for the human herd should never be allowed to take over the world. That is unless most people want to have a BORG like planet.

Is The Universe Flat?

http://www.space.com/34928-the-universe-is-flat-now-what.html
Unfortunately, to run a cosmic scale simulation would require so much more data, which remains unknown.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_of_the_universe#Shape_of_the_observable_universe

However, various rough or approximate simulations could still reveal some interesting things.

Thus, an Earth world simulation has a lot more accurate data which can be entered.

Especially a Westworld type simulation.

Microsoft develops new system that can tell when employees are bored

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9003681/Microsoft-develops-new-tell-employees-bored.html

Yes indeed, whether working in an office or from home, the system wants people to be even more productive, efficient and obedient. Don't want to be part of the rat-race in the office, you can just be another mouse in a tech-maze of control at home.

End of an era as New York City transit retires three-decade-old MetroCard https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/31/new-york-city-metrocard-retired

Eventually, you can become like a mouse in a technological maze.

A biometric ID system is convenient, but people could be conditioned to jump through various hoops in the Earth management circus.

Why Are These STATES So Empty?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8aYRMtlZKg

Are These AMERICAN States are DYING? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBg1BFFyUjo

Why NOBODY Lives in these 9 EMPTY States https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTRSclDfJMQ

Why 50% of Americans Live in these 9 OVERCROWDED States https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vrAKD8ZPPI

California has more people than Canada & Texas has more people than Australia. Yet, California still has plenty of wilderness. Texas still has plenty of wide open natural spaces.

There is a gradual push to get more people accustomed to the Smart_City lifestyle of urban conformity.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_city#Characteristics

https://www.twi-global.com/technical-knowledge/faqs/what-is-a-smart-city#

Ultimately, every move could be tracked & scored with various forms of technology.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_city#Technologies Contact tracing could easily be adapted & used as an excuse for just about anything. A world based AI run Carbon Credit Quota (CCQ) could easily be used to control people like mice in a maze. What a horrible world, if people had to constantly ask their AI Access Device (AIAD) permission to do just about anything.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_city#Chinese_enterprises

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_city#Criticism An imposed world Social Obedience Conformity score (world SOC score) would be an ideal human herd management tactic from the various governmental Sock_Puppets.

Of course there should be safeguards to ensure that all this tech doesn't become a human herd, global totalitarian management system. Otherwise, the world might become like a series of interconnected Black_Mirror episodes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make_Room!_Make_Room! (1966)

High Technology shouldn't mean that humanity be eventually transformed into a Borg like management and control system. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borg#Depiction

All it would take is for one James_Bond movie villain type to devise a way for everyone to submit to a worldwide SOC management system.

Unfortunately, in a worldwide Carbon Credit Quota system, humans could easily become managed and extremely controlled.

"And then: a ladder. THX clasps the rebar rungs and begins the long ascent. The androids are not far behind, THX more aware than most of his pursuers’ irradiated hearts, powering their conviction and inexhaustible drive. And then, suddenly, they stop. At 3,410 units, Central Command has ruled that the expense of THX’s capture now exceeds the allocated budget." https://filmschoolrejects.com/thx-1138-ending-explained

Train people to be obedient like circus animals. WTF? Train people to be like lab mice in a maze. WTF? Train people to be like prisoners of war in their own country. WTF? Sure, law and order has to be maintained in a very BIG country with over 1.4 billion people, but this tech isn't about making people freer to express them selves.

G and i, etc.

"...the phones are pretty much equal these days. Some would even say Samsung and HTC phones are better because they have bigger screens."
http://www.businessinsider.com/google-is-whittling-away-at-the-iphones-last-remaining-advantage-2013-4

Many consider the i still beats everyone else in terms of providing so many smooth running apps.

However, no technology goes without its problems.

The quality of life for the people that assemble such a phone might be much darker than many people realize.
"In June, about 100 workers went on a rampage at a Chengdu plant in south-west China. The company has faced allegations of poor conditions and mistreatment of workers at its Chinese operations, and has been spending heavily in recent months to raise wages and improve working conditions."

Assembly line work isn't fun & in some ways, its like being in a big technological chicken coup.

Even if the company was renamed to become Miceconn, many of the workers might feel like mice running in a maze.
Its all part of Hamster Wheel Economics, where you just keep spinning a hamster wheel to make a few others on the planet even more wealthy, as you realize that your uneven life has been hacked long ago.
