無法理解的無限 (Incomprehensible Infinity)

原則 (Principle)

為何 Transurfing 有效？誰將一切放置於多元空間 (Alternatives space) 中？並無誰「創造」了多元空間 (Alternatives space)；它一直存在著。人性總喜歡相信這個世界上所有事物都是由某個人或某些事物製造，並有一個明確的起點和終點。然而，有些問題其答案早已超越人類心智的極限，因為心智不過是一部邏輯機器，儘管它也能進行抽象思考。Transurfing 並未試圖解釋世界的結構；而是提供了一個實用模型，使我們能理解什麼使人可以創造屬於自己的現實，以及如何實現它。
Why does Transurfing work? Who ‘put’ everything into the variants space? No one ‘created’ the variants space. It has always existed. It is human nature to believe that everything in this world was made by someone or something and has a tangible beginning and end. Yet there are certain questions in this world to which the answers lie way beyond the limits of the human mind, for the mind is nothing more than a logic machine, albeit a machine with the ability for abstract thought. Transurfing does not explain the structure of the world; it offers a utilitarian model that enables us to understand why it is possible for a person to create their own reality and how to go about it.
這就像是駕車而不需了解車輛是如何組裝出來的一樣。
It’s the same as driving a car without understanding how it was assembled.
詮釋
Interpretation
整個人類歷史中，所有科學家所試圖做的就是解釋世界如何運作。這個過程將永無止境，每個現有模型都會被逐步更新換代。如果你手持一面鏡子站在另一面鏡子前，你便會理解，為什麼會有無限多個模型來解釋宇宙的運作。當你以某個現實的顯現作為模型基礎時，你得到的只是一個獨立的版本，一塊小小的鏡子碎片。當你站在世界主鏡前拿著那塊碎片時，你會看到世界的另一個面相在反映著；當你再取其中一個顯現來看，又會得到一個獨立的現實倒影。如此層層疊疊，從另一塊微小的鏡子中，又會出現一個新的倒影，如此反覆。因此，世界的真實本質究竟為何？試著（如果你能）想像兩面完全相同的鏡子正對而立，彼此反射對方的影像。這兩面鏡子中，沒有任何事物能無限次地反射出來。這便是那黑暗無際的無限影像，其中無物相互映照。任何理性心智所能理解的概念，都難以完整描述這一景象。（Note: 本段探討宇宙無限多元結構的哲學本質，突顯模型的無限更新性）
All scientists have ever tried to do throughout human history is explain how the world works. This process will continue for eternity. Every existing model will be replaced by ever-newer versions of how the world works. If you stand in front of one mirror while holding another mirror you will understand how it is that there can be an infinite number of models, which explain how the universe works. When one manifestation of reality is taken as the foundation for a model, what you get is a separate version, a small piece of the mirror. When you stand in front of the main mirror of the world holding that smaller piece, you see a new facet of the world reflected. When you take one of the manifestations of this aspect, you again get a separate reflection of reality. And again, out of yet another tiny mirror, a new one will appear, reflected in the image of the mirror before that. So what is the true nature of the world? Try (if you can) to imagine it as being as two identical mirrors placed just opposite each other. Both mirrors reflect the image of the mirror placed in front of them. In both mirrors, nothing is reflected an infinite number of times. This is the black infinity of images where nothing is a reflection of nothing. Are any of the concepts available to the rational mind adequate to describe this scene? Hardly.

為什麼 Transurfing 有效？誰將一切「放入」變體空間 (Alternatives space)？沒有人「創造」變體空間。它一直存在。人類的天性是相信這個世界上的一切都是由某人或某物製造的，並且有一個明確的開始和結束。然而，這個世界上有些問題的答案遠遠超出了人類心靈的範疇，因為心靈只不過是一台邏輯機器，儘管它有抽象思維的能力。Transurfing 並不解釋世界的結構；它提供了一個實用的模型，使我們能夠理解為什麼一個人可以創造自己的現實以及如何做到這一點。

在整個人類歷史中，所有科學家所做的就是解釋世界如何運作。這個過程將永遠持續下去。每一個現有的模型都將被不斷更新的世界運作方式版本所取代。如果你站在一面鏡子前，手持另一面鏡子，你將理解為什麼會有無數個模型來解釋宇宙的運作。當現實的一種表現被用作模型的基礎時，你得到的是一個單獨的版本，一小塊鏡子。當你站在世界的主鏡前，手持那塊小鏡子時，你會看到世界的一個新面反映出來。當你採用這個方面的一種表現時，你再次得到現實的單獨反射。再一次，從另一個小鏡子中，會出現一個新的鏡子，反映在之前的鏡像中。那麼，世界的真實本質是什麼？試著（如果你能）想像它就像兩面相同的鏡子正對著放置。兩面鏡子都反映了放在它們面前的鏡子的影像。在兩面鏡子中，無限次地什麼都沒有反映。這是黑色無限的影像，什麼都不是的反射。理性思維可用的任何概念都足以描述這個場景嗎？幾乎不可能。

為何Transurfing有效？誰將一切“放入”另闢蹊徑之空間？無人“創造”另闢蹊徑之空間。它始終存在。人性認為世上一切由某人某物創造，有明確起終。然而，有些問題的答案遠超人類頭腦極限，因頭腦僅是邏輯機器，雖具抽象思考能力。Transurfing不解釋世界結構；它提供實用模型 (Utilitarian Model)，讓我們理解為何人可創造現實及如何做。

科學家歷來試圖解釋世界如何運作。這過程將永續。每現有模型會被更新版本取代。若你拿一面鏡子站在另一面鏡子前，你會明白為何有無數解釋宇宙運作的模型。當現實一表現作為模型基礎，你得到獨立版本，鏡子一小片。當你持這小片站在世界主鏡前，你見世界新面向。當你取這面向的一表現，又得現實獨立反射。從另一小鏡，又一新鏡在之前鏡子的形象中出現。世界真面目是什麼？試（若你能）想像兩面相同鏡子相對放置。兩鏡皆反映對方面鏡。兩鏡中，無物無限次反射。這是形象的黑色無限，無映無。理性頭腦的任何概念足以描述這場景？難。
