"As earthlings, all things in the world that we can think of are all based on an element that can be defined as the smallest unit, and are reorganized through various permutations and combinations, and become various forms of all things. Different forms; and the so-called matter is closed. If it is not launched by a rocket, it will be firmly locked on the surface of the earth by the attraction of the earth, and there is no way to escape. However, energy can be obtained from the outside, just like the sunlight coming in. This energy After absorption and transformation, and finally presented in a new form. This energy will also have a tendency to return, thus prompting the original material form to eventually move in the direction where the energy came from, continue to advance and return to the place where the energy came from, just like in the biological world. Feedback phenomenon. The final growth does not matter yin and yang, positive or negative, it is just a single growth in the direction of the energy source. This stage is very simple, and the experience is like the process of 'from zero to one' in mathematics; and after a period Over time, various interfering factors based on the surrounding environment come, and under the combined influence of other external forces, rebellious branches will appear in the growth process, and they will have opposite opinions or even run counter to each other. Of course, the original established direction of growth as the main trunk will not be affected by this. Change, but allow these two types of branches to quickly non-linear trial and error; after a period of time, those trial and error differences will disappear on their own and re-converge to the vicinity of the original trunk growth trajectory. At this time, firm and slow growth The backbone of the two parties will match the speed of these two parties until the day comes when they reunite. The so-called rebellion was originally just trying another different experience, but in the end it will return to the original simple return mode. Come. In the future, it will continue to grow in the direction of the energy source, split and return again, and so on, until the number of divisions of all basic units is used up, everything enters the decay mode, the energy return is completed, and the elements return to their respective origins. Originally, then participate in other combination modes and start another kind of 'life' - or 'tree-born', 'stone-born', 'cat-born', 'insect-born'... In short, everything is good. , nothing really disappears, it’s just different combinations matching different energies.”
The place where the "Apple Tree" club often holds brainstorming debates is under the apple trees next to the playground on campus. This has almost become their exclusive venue. Whenever there is an activity day, I see them approaching. The sweet little lovers who originally occupied these trees would quickly walk away knowingly, fearing that this group of lunatics with superior intelligence would laugh at their naivety.
The article I just posted is the opening statement of the debate triggered by the theme of this issue of the "Apple Tree" club "Born as a Tree". Shu Kang raised the question and Xin Wu responded, starting with the topic of discussion in this issue. .
"Well, this is not new. It just imitates the 'dissipation theory'. Everyone knows: In 1969, Prigogine pointed out in the article "Structure, Dissipation and Life" that the 'dissipative structure' can only communicate with the outside world through It can be maintained by exchanging energy (and in some cases also exchanging matter). This means that the system must be open, non-equilibrium, nonlinear, and fluctuating with the outside world. These characteristics are very important in the dissipative structure theory. Basic principles and categories, which contain the idea of unity of opposites. Openness and unity of opposites. Dissipative structure theory believes that an open system far from equilibrium is a necessary condition for producing an ordered structure."
Following Xin Wu's style of speaking, the person who can be immediately classified and cited is Yin Chongquan, a full scholarship recipient from the Department of Physics in the club.
As soon as he finished speaking, he adjusted the frames of his glasses upwards out of habit, and turned his eyes towards the apple tree above his head, looking very proud of himself.
"Then our hypothesis today is that if we are a tree, like the leafy apple tree above our heads, for it, or in other words, if you were this tree in your previous life, for For you, you were a tree in your previous life, a human in this life, and a stone in your next life. If you had these forms, what would you look like? Do you have emotions? Do you have a mission? Is it meaningful? "Shu Kang assumed the theme to be more concrete.
"Then if I were a tree or a person, I would see the world dynamically. If I were a stone, I would see the world statically. In other words, if my subject does not change, and some of the world I see is changing, some of it remains unchanged, just like In the equatorial rainforest, it rains at a fixed time every day, and then it gets hotter, darker, time, and season. Things like this do not exist here; this paradigm of whether the subject and object of observation are moving or static. Under the transformation of combinations, there will be revolutionary significance. I wonder if there will be some inspiration for the answer to this question. As for the concepts of 'emotion' and 'meaning', I don't know if they can be applied to these objects, like We can't add up the word "branch" for a flower and a chicken. It's meaningless to ask how many flowers there are in total." Zhang Jinfan, a member of the club, began to get entangled. Here comes the what-if.
"Because there are too many premises and assumptions that may interfere with today's discussion topic, we have come up with such a simple topic 'Born as a tree'. So what?" Shukang reiterated the topic, This is to reduce the risk of people taking too many detours.
"Actually, it was precisely because I had carefully observed this apple tree that I put myself in the shoes of this tree and imagined its first half of life: it was just an apple seed at first. When I thought about it, I had eaten so many apples. , I have also spit out so many insignificant little apple seeds, and it is such a small one that can grow into a tall and strong apple tree in front of me, full of more small apples, and I am deeply moved by it. : When it was first a seed, it was in the soil, maybe it was a rotten apple that fell to the ground when it was ripe. The pulp was gone, but it came from the pulp, soil, rain or water irrigated by the gardener. It gave 'me' the opportunity to germinate, push out of the soil, grow the first pair of leaves, and withstand the test of sunshine, rain and dew, as well as the climate of the changing seasons, as well as the danger of being eaten by small animals and trampled by children. Year after year, it finally grew into a small sapling. Under the careful care of the gardener and with a certain amount of support, it helped to withstand the test of wind, frost, rain and snow in adolescence, until one day it could bloom and attract people. A lot of little bees were raised, and they were able to pollinate other nearby flower trees, so that they could have a chance to produce small apples, and then regenerate more small apple seeds, just like what I looked like back then, and then there was a way to let my ancestors Genes, opportunities to be passed down from generation to generation. To make such a tree, wouldn’t it mean that words like ‘meaning’, ‘motivation’, and ‘mission’ can be clearly explained? I spent water, soil, Light also gives back to nature with fresh oxygen, fruits, scenery, and can make people feel beautiful vision, pleasant mood, fragrant and fresh smell, and sweet taste. Isn’t this very meaningful?”
The only one who can talk about specific things in such detail is Gong Xiaotao, the gentle fairy in the club.
Everyone knows that no one can take care of the flowers and plants in the dormitory better than her: she is simply the "Flower Fairy" herself. Any flower or plant that encounters her will be extremely happy. It's a real pleasure to see her caring for flowers and plants: her fair skin can make her more radiant when paired with any flowers and plants. She likes to do various antique hairstyles with her hair, and she always wears it with beautiful wooden hairstyles in different antique styles. Most of the hairpins are DIY-made by her. The materials used are not expensive, but they are very effective. She is also the first person in the courtyard who can enjoy the process of gardening and sum up various principles, so she is also one of the first girls to join the club. Today's topic is simply tailor-made for her.
