The Structure of the Melody
After the break, I refocused my consciousness on the cosmic melody. Unlike before, my mind and body were in a clear state, allowing me to grasp the structure of the melody more deeply and delicately. It felt as if the fog had lifted, and the intricately tangled threads of the melody were being carefully untangled, one by one.
Hours, days, or even millennia passed—my sense of time had become vague. Vast information surged through my mind: the birth and death of stars, the collision and fusion of galaxies, the expansion and contraction of the universe... All governed by this melody, this word of creation.
“...Have you made any new discoveries?” the woman in the robe asked quietly. Her presence was my sole anchor and source of encouragement in this vast cosmic expanse.
“Yes,” I nodded slowly. “I found a pattern within the composition's elements that I had overlooked before. It's... as if fragments of different universes are woven into this one.”
“Different universes...?” The woman inquired with interest. “What significance might that hold?”
“I cannot be certain yet... but this composition may not describe the laws of a single universe. It could describe the interactions of multiple universes, or perhaps infinite universes. Each universe possesses its own melody, and they intertwine intricately, playing a single grand symphony... that is the impression I receive.”
I explained the pattern I'd discovered to her. The pages of the “Infinite Book” were densely filled with intricate geometric patterns and the mathematical formulas symbolizing them. Those patterns seemed to depict countless universes overlapping, influencing each other, and continuing to evolve.
The woman listened quietly to my explanation for a long time. “...If your hypothesis is correct... this would be a discovery far beyond imagination, truly monumental.” Her words held a mix of astonishment and excitement.
“But deciphering its true meaning will require much more time. And perhaps... it might involve dangers beyond imagination,” I added quietly. The melody of the universe is beautiful and terrifying. Deep within it, it feels as though everything in this universe, and something beyond it, is hidden.
We listened again, quietly, to the melody of the universe. In the infinitely vast expanse of space, our research had only just begun.
