https://github.com/nitsc/spell-from-threebodytrilogy

Implemented the process of extrapolating from Gaia stellar data, to 3D visualizations, to three-views, to three-view signals, to three-view audio of signals, and even their inversions. This project proves the feasibility of the Logic (Luoji)'s “spell” from “The Three Body Problem” trilogy.

# Python Implementation of Spell from *The Three-Body Trilogy*



## GitHub Pioneer: 

Reviving the Concept of the 'Spell' from 'The Dark Forest' using Python



## MAJOR UPDATE: Repository name has changed!!!!

Changed from **“incantation-from-ThreeBodyTrilogy”** to **“spell-from-ThreeBodyTrilogy”**



## Overview

Implemented the process of extrapolating from Gaia stellar data, to 3D visualizations, to three-views, to three-view signals, to three-view audio of signals, and even their inversions. This project proves the feasibility of the Luoji's “spell” from “The Three Body Problem” trilogy.



## Usage Notes

- Place the 'spell-from-ThreeBodyTrilogy-main' folder in `D:\temp` for the program to work properly. Alternatively, you can modify the paths in the program to match your environment.

- Output data will be saved on the desktop to avoid overwriting the provided results (including three-view projections, signal files, and audio).

- Please refrain from playing the generated audio at high volume, in accordance with the "Dark Forest Theory."

# The spell from *The Three-Body Trilogy* (from 三体Wiki, translated by DeepL)



## Overview of the Dark Forest Theory

The Dark Forest Theory posits that any civilization that reveals itself is doomed to destruction by other civilizations in the universe.



## Key Elements

### Two Main Axioms:

1. Survival is the primary need of a civilization.

2. Civilizations grow and expand, but the total matter in the universe is constant.



### Two Concepts:

- Chain of Guesses

- Technological Explosion



## Reason for the Theory

Civilizations need to acquire resources for survival and expansion, but they compete in a limited universe. This competition leads to "technological explosions," which allow lower civilizations to potentially surpass higher ones. A "chain of suspicion" arises from the mutual uncertainty between civilizations, creating a hostile environment where higher civilizations often opt to destroy rather than communicate.



## Derivation Process

- From the conservation of matter and the expansion of civilizations, we derive the fundamental contradictions between civilizations.

- When Civilization A discovers Civilization B, A must judge B’s intentions:

  1. Communicating with B forms a chain of suspicion, while revealing A’s presence. If B is equally advanced, it poses a threat; if less advanced, a technological explosion could quickly make B dangerous.

  2. Hiding from B leads to similar outcomes once B develops its own technology.



In both scenarios, A concludes that the only safe option is to destroy B, reinforcing the theory.



## Spell Experiment Theory

Luoji '”s "spell experiment" confirms several facts:

1. Higher civilizations possess powerful weapons.

2. Dark Forest strikes are timely and accurate.

3. Higher civilizations prefer to attack rather than detect.



## Flaws

The theory is strong but based on a single observation, not multiple experiments. This led to skepticism in the Post-Deterrence Era, until the strike on the Trisolaran galaxy during the Broadcast Era.



## Historical Examples

- Columbus’ discovery of the Americas led to the Spanish colonization and the destruction of Indigenous civilizations.

- British colonization of Australia involved the mass killing of Indigenous peoples.



## Remarks

- The Dark Forest Theory is a natural extension of Darwin and Wallace’s "doctrine of natural selection."

- Luo Ji’s famous line, "others are hell," is a nod to existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre.

- "The universe is a dark forest, and every civilization is a hunter, creeping through the forest like a ghost..."

- "Luoji", "Luo Ji", and "LOGIC" are both "罗辑", a character in Three Body Problem.
