Chapter 74 Translating Dreams

As the three were speculating, a new AI-decoded semantic tag stream appeared on the screen.

—Language activity/internal language *suspected*: 72% confidence. Neural activity potentially related to internal language generation was detected.

— Semantic fragment *incomplete*: Confidence level 68%. Several discrete high-frequency semantic concept fragments were extracted and sorted by frequency of occurrence as follows: "Guiding", "Future", "Begins", and "Humanity".

—Sentence structure guess: 55% confidence level. The above concept fragments show a single combination tendency in chronological order, but there are multiple possible permutations.

—Confidence level explanation: The current decoding is significantly affected by background neural noise. The confidence level of the complete sentence reconstruction is below the reliable threshold. The output results are for reference only and require more similar data for verification.

—Inner Language: Begin to lead humanity's future. *These overviews may be presented as a slogan or creed.*

—After gazing at the sign, activity resembling internal speech was detected in the left hemisphere of the subjects' brains. The activity signal was weak and disordered.

—This refactoring output is not a definitive conclusion; the specific, exact, complete statement cannot be reliably refactored at present.

Upon seeing this content, Jiang Haiyang said, "It seems that Wu Jie was right. Although it is just some conceptual fragments, it is filled with a strong sense of religious ritual."

Wu Jie frowned and said, "But it looks a bit improper!"

Wei Hongsi said thoughtfully, "That's why it became a criminal organization."

The term "inner language" in semantic labeling is a psycholinguistic term that can be simply understood as an internal monologue. The information carrier of this internal monologue is text or symbols, rather than the "speech" that people usually use to communicate.

These two consecutive streams of linguistic tags depict a situation similar to a Christian seeing a cross and naturally reciting "God bless" in their heart, except that the phrase Mu Jie recites in his heart is more complex.

After compiling the interpretation, Wei Hongsi sent it to the task force through the police liaison. Compared to before, the information obtained this time was more useful, and they needed to provide timely feedback.

How the task force will consider applying the interpretation results is not their concern.

Jiang Haiyang drew a pattern on the whiteboard next to him and said, "The combination of radial lines and circles, I think, most commonly represents a round, luminous object, such as the sun or the moon."

"What about the flat oval shape?" Wu Jie asked.

"Perhaps it represents the Earth's orbit around the sun," Jiang Haiyang said, drawing a flattened ellipse around the circular object. "Look, doesn't this make a lot of sense?"

"What if this flat ellipse is inside a circle?" Wu Jie suggested another possibility.

Jiang Haitao then drew a flattened oval inside the circle: "Does that represent the equator?"

"Didn't you say this represents the sun?"

"Does the 0-degree latitude line of the sun no longer count as the equator? Besides, I'm just saying it could be the sun; maybe it's the moon? Humanity's history of worshipping the moon is just as long as that of the sun."

"If that's the case, it could also be Jupiter's rings."

Wei Hongsi glanced at Jiang Haiyang's painting and then at the AI's analysis. The speculations were varied, with more than a dozen being the most likely.

However, one speculation caught his attention, so he drew a pattern on the whiteboard as well.

"Holy crap!" Jiang Haiyang exclaimed upon seeing the drawing Wei Hongsi had made. "This looks a bit eerie!"

Wu Jie nodded repeatedly, "It feels extremely frivolous!"

What Wei Hongsi drew was actually a circular luminous object with an equatorial line, but he drew a small circle in the center and painted some color on the small circle. Combined with the "equatorial line", it looked very much like an eye.

So the whole pattern looked like a glowing sphere with an eye embedded in the center, an eye that was staring at them.

Wei Hongsi said, "This is one of the more probable possibilities in the AI ​​analysis. Eyes can represent the observer, and if they are eyes in the sun or moon, they also have a sense of looking down. I think this is more in line with the characteristics of the savior narrative and mission statement of 'beginning to lead the future of mankind'."

He actually had some other evidence, but it involved some specific case details that he couldn't tell his fellow students.

Jiang Haiyang nodded and said, "That makes sense! Then we can make some interventions for the workers based on this reasonable deduction."

Essentially, a "neural translation package" is a complex generative model trained on a large amount of data that can provide a high-precision "likelihood function".

The narrative generation AI is an inference engine running a Bayesian probabilistic graphical model. It repeatedly "hypothesizes, tests, and updates" at different levels of abstraction, and finally outputs the narrative outline with the highest posterior probability.

The manual intervention, based on their earlier conjecture, involves adjusting prior probability weights to guide the AI ​​to focus on core clues, correcting the likelihood function, increasing the confidence of the target interpretation, and reducing interference from irrelevant speculations. This is merely an algorithmic intervention, not an intervention on the subjects themselves.

After the adjustments were completed, the waiting period began again.

Taking advantage of this moment, Jiang Haiyang called Feng Weixu. He only mentioned it briefly, but Feng Weixu knew that the decoding work had entered a critical stage, and he and Dai Mengqi rushed over quickly.

Shortly after dinner, the target's brainwaves reappeared.

Judging from the results, their previous adjustments worked, and this time the impact of noise was significantly reduced, resulting in highly confident interpretations.

—Language generation/internal language: 96% confidence. Stereotypical and repetitive internal language generation processes were detected. The language structure is complete, resembling slogans or creeds.

—Semantic Core/Complete Sentence: Confidence 94%. Complete sentence deciphered: "Guiding humanity's future, where true light begins."

—Language attributes: Confidence level 90%. The sentence structure is well-organized, declarative, and has an ultimate purpose.

—Conceptual/emotional binding: 95% confidence level. This statement is closely associated with absolute belief, a sense of mission, and a sublime feeling of being a "beginning" or "origin." Neural modeling shows that the appearance of this statement immediately suppresses activity in the prefrontal cortex associated with questioning and critical thinking.

As he gazed at the totem-like symbol, a complete creed-like inner language rang in his mind: "The true light begins here, leading humanity into the future." This creed held an unquestionable truth and a sense of mission for him.
