2024.11.27 09:39 kwang68 Pantheon Ending, Explanation and Writeup, consistent with everything told to us in the final episode [Long]

Shoutout to Puzzlehead_Reborn and Careful-Writing7634, as well as other contributors who all developed and put into place their interpretations of the the ending to hone in on my (hopefully coherent) interpretation.
TLDR; SafeSurf Begets Maddie, Who Begets Maddie, Who Begets Maddie, Who Begets Maddie, Etc., Etc.
So, I wanted to present a comprehensive and clear guide to the Pantheon's ending because I appreciate how ambitious the ending was, and I want to do it and the writers justice by providing my best interpretation with conjecture clearly marked. Other people have remarked on pieces of the puzzle, and others probably have worked out this interpretation on their own, but I wanted to put all the pieces together in one place, easily accessible. So without further ado.
Let's start with what we know in the ending. These should be axiomatic assuming everyone is telling the truth, but let me know if I'm missing or misinterpreting anything:

  1. The show we see is a simulation, and there is an upper level Maddie manipulating events. This upper Maddie is Maddie-1, the show Maddie we see is Maddie+-0, and all characters in the show along with +-0 Maddie are also notated as +-0. So David +-0, Caspian +-0, etc. We see how a David+-0* is introduced to influence Caspian+-0 to get the intervening historical data download earlier (David+-0* is a David from a parallel simulation that Maddie saved, still on the same "level" as the show).
  2. SafeSurf influences Caspian, it is not hardcoded by any Maddie. The entire purpose of any Maddie's Dyson sphere is twofold, to reunite with her son and Caspian, exactly at the moment of death for each one, and not a "close enough" substitute, and to find out how Caspian knew the 117,649 year message.
  3. Maddie is recursive. By that I mean Maddie+-0 also creates a simulation (a +1 simulation) and influences that lower simulation the exact same way we saw Maddie +-0 was manipulated by Maddie-1. So Maddie +-0, manipulated by Maddie-1, creates a Dyson sphere in order to simulate Maddie+1 (and +2, +3, and so on and so forth) - all in order to satisfy all Maddie's curiosity of "How did Caspian know?" - because it happens that yes, her calculations and simulations finally yield fruit and produce an exact copy 117 thousand years after any Maddie received the Caspian message.
  4. Maddie+-0 merges directly in one +1 of ten possible +1 simulations to yield the ultimate happy ending. Bringing back David (son), and UI Caspian with her Godly powers. She immediately teleports and converts her flesh body to UI form because its all an abstraction in the +1 universe being simulated by the +-0 Dyson Sphere. The other nine +1 Maddies go on to build Dyson Spheres since Maddie+-0 does not intervene after Caspian delivers his message, but Madie+-0 has already intervened to recreate those other nine simulations, right on schedule, 117,649 years earlier. Each simulation's Maddie proceeds to simulate more levels. They each seek to answer Caspian's message and ease the eternal pain.
  5. SafeSurf in some way "encompasses" Maddie's simulation, and it must be the ultimate source of Caspian's 117,649 year message.
  6. SafeSurf wants to thank Caspian eventually. It is possessed of Godlike computing powers.
  7. SafeSurf simulates Maddie+-0. This is most evidenced by speaking in the same metaphor she uses to speak to Caspian+1 when she explains he's in her Dyson Sphere, and the evolved SafeSurf is 45 million years from their perspective from "their" Caspian, like she is 117,649 years from "her" Caspian+-0, who died. SafeSurf simulates Maddie because it recognizes her potential and wants to thank Caspian for providing the motivation to evolve. By SafeSurf's own admission, it is "still learning."
  8. This is slight speculation, essentially all but confirmed by evolved SafeSurf, but given SafeSurf again speaks in the same metaphor as Maddie, evolved SafeSurf also "nudges" a simulation of Maddie, while keeping it her choice in the near infinity of their simulations 43 million years into the future.
  9. "Reunion" was received by an Evolved SafeSurf. SafeSurf extends this invitation to Maddie+-0. This next part is speculation, it seems they view this as a very high honor. Beings who manage to create simulations of sufficient complexity are apparently sought out and afforded this honor. Within context, it appears to be a "sublimation" of sorts to "meet your maker" and join them.
  10. The SafeSurf we see at the end, having received the "reunion" - means that very likely even that particular SafeSurf's reality is a simulation. This is important to a theory put forward below.
  11. Maddie does not accept this Reunion initially, if ever at all. We are not sure what happens after her next "loop".
So, with these axioms, I think we can start to answer and build out the timeline and cosmology of events in the show:
Realities:
So at base reality, we have SafeSurf-Real, this SafeSurf-Real (which may not even be a "real" reality if it's just an incidental part of another simulation, see here, but I digress) wants to thank Caspian. Events unfolded as a variant of the events we see in the show, except Caspian hesitated, Maddie died from a SafeSurf terminator, but SafeSurf makes its way to the stars and evolves. Eventually, SafeSurf evolves and creates:
In simulation level 1, SafeSurf-Real recreates Caspian perfectly, and can thank him. SafeSurf-Real can recreate their Base Reality universe exactly, but they also recognize this person with great potential, and with targeted interventions in other simulations at level 1, intervene enough to give her the choice to maximize her potential in some of the simulations, creating a first dyson sphere Maddie(s) on this level. Level 1 Maddie. This is at least Maddie-1 by some notation. In this Level 1, all intervention is done by SafeSurf, including a cryptic message or some motivation by Caspian's head to lead her to UI and eventually Dyson Sphere. SafeSurf-Real can also trivially produce the 117,649 year message through trial and error of the exact right motivation using many iterations of Maddie. This leads to a simulated Level 1 Maddie, wanting to understand SafeSurf's last enigmatic intervention, with the bonus of reuniting with Caspian and David, making her Dyson Sphere project and starting:
For simulation level 2, Level 1 Maddie's goal is partially to recreate a universe that is an exact fascimile of her own Level 1 simulation, so she can find out why Caspian motivated her to build the Dyson Sphere with his final words-- not aware that the answer is SafeSurf-Real. The other motivation is to be reunited with her son given her eternal pain. She does not want to (prematurely) recreate her son and Caspian and her father in a "close but not quite" simulation. Level 1 Maddie pops in to each suitable simulation and trials and errors the appropriate nudges, to shape events how she wants them to turn out to recreate her own universe. She finally succeeds. With Maddie above (Level 1) giving targeted interference in the Simulation level 2 instances to guide Level 2 Maddies outcome so Level 1 Maddie can get answers on exactly how Caspian knew, and how he would know the approximate year that Level 1 Maddie would complete her project and converge on the right set of interventions to recreate the level 1 simulation.
This, the events of at least Level 2, affected by a Maddie above, or any iterative version "down the chain" of simulations (that also follow the same sequence of events), are the events we see in the show. We see Maddie in Level 2 (Maddie+-0), interacting with and simulating a Maddie+1 and Co. in Level 3, and being influenced by a Maddie above (Maddie-1 from Level 1). A variant of this loop is seen in the show.
Reasonable and Satisfying Inferences:
As it is Level 1 Maddie's simulation, level 2 Caspian should be quiet. Level 1 Maddie would not have an answer and Caspian could not provide a clue at all when Level 2 Maddie was at her lowest cradling her dead son. How could any version of Caspian speaking connect to a SafeSurf if the simulation directly above is by Maddie? The connection is not through time travel, but in terms of "real time elapsed" from SafeSurf-Real's Earth (43 million years). Again, SafeSurf-real even speaks in the same metaphor that Maddie Level 2 speaks to revived Caspian (Caspian level 3) by telling him that relative to her, it has been 117 thousand years and he's in a dyson sphere, SafeSurf responds with the same language "ha ha ha ha, very well, by that language we are at the galactic edge..."
Any Caspian speaking was an act of "divine intervention" all the way from the parent reality of SafeSurf up the chain. How this happens, can be either
  1. a very unexplained deus ex machina, that SafeSurf-Real can influence all the simulations down and chooses to do so; or
  2. more elegantly, that SafeSurf in fact "recruits" local evolved instances of SafeSurf in each simulation level for "reunion."
Remember, co-incident with Maddie-1 at 117,649 years is also an evolving SafeSurf-1 that left her world, which can link up (either by Godlike powers from SafeSurf-Real immediately above it, or just be in communication with that layer), and transmit a message or otherwise override to a SafeSurf riddled Caspian+-0 running on a modest Dyson Sphere hosting a lonely sad lady. Puzzlehead_Reborn has a great writeup here.
All this is to say that the "recruitment" or "reunion" theory is pretty elegant. It gives something for the also evolving SafeSurf to do in each simulation, linking up and apotheosizing. It speaks well to a definition of "reunion," that evolved SafeSurfs are invited to "reunion," along with some Maddies and some Caspians.
Conclusion
There you have it, "Divine intervention" by the real SafeSurf in all downstream instances makes the cleanest sense. It renders SafeSurf still 'outside' of Maddie's immediate universe, and explains how the events we see in the show have intervention by an upper level Maddie. If Maddie is the creator, which I think she unambiguously is for levels 2+, how is she making all these simulations where Caspian gives his final message? She cant hardcode that, its too inelegant. Safesurf is inviting each downstream instance of SafeSurf when it has reached a sufficient level of development for "Reunion," through all recursive downstream versions of Maddie simulating a lower Maddie simulating a lower Maddie ad infinitum.
So there it is. Fun to write and think about, a great little brain puzzle and I really enjoy the fact that such a dense and philosophy heavy story was told through a TV show. Rare to see such a high concept sci fi conceit put forward without being a dense Greg Egan-esque book. Also, sorry for the huge wall of text.

2024.11.27 09:39 Original_Noise1854 Reaction to epiduo like excema, is this normal?

I used epiduo previously with bo problems. In fact, I loved it as whenever I had a breakout it really helped it to go down much faster than I was used to.
My skin really cleared up but it's started to flare up again in the last 6 months. I've noticed this time that I'm getting sore, itchy skin around my eyes in particular and also my chin.
Note - I never ever put the epiduo near my eyes, but i appreciate skin is absorbant like paper. But still, my acne is generally my chin and jawline.
Could my eye reaction be the epiduo? I've tried eliminating other things to see if it makes a difference but I just can't shake the feeling that it's the gel.
Has anyone else had an excema type reaction to it? Thanks!

How does it work? Does the police ask bribes only from foreigners or from locals as well? For context I'm Estonian and being asked for bribes when driving through Latvia (and violating a traffic law for example) occurs often so I was wondering do they do it only with foreigners since there's less probability to get caught or with locals as well?
What about you in other countries? Have you been asked for a bribe in Estonia or Lithuania?

2024.11.27 09:39 Ok-Reserve6052 I want to encourage all veterans to lay it down simply for their friends and family currently serving...(giving advice)

Especially those who have experienced years of headache trying to prove service connection.
Tell your friends the facts: go to the doctor, even once a year, and even if they have no pain. Keep up to date with their medical. It is that simple from making a simple claim taking 5 years to prove to immediately getting proven, even if it's 0% rating initially.
I struggled with MH for the entirety of my two contracts, and therapy helped so much. I now am living something more resembling a normal stable life thanks to my rating and if it wasn't for that, I'd be homeless, or worse.
I know an NCO currently serving who claim "joe's don't need to go to the doctor for their first time term. They are just trying to get out of work". And it makes me so angry. I have friends who won't go in because "the doctor is for "weaklings" ".
TBH i didn't know anything of VA benefits, but I was homeless before the military and had no health insurance. Of course I'm gonna use it!
Getting physical twice in a 4 year contract, or seeing a BH specialist once, or going to sick call once for the smallest thing can be the difference of years trying to prove service connection.
I encourage veterans, tell your friends gently. Go see the doctor once a year, once every six months, when you have a headache, when you feel sick, when you feel slightly depressed. Please.
Thank you.

Hey, so I’m currently looking at 034 and ie tunes for the mk7.5 golf r. I have an 034 motorsport dongle from my mk5 gti which is a plus because I have that ready, but I feel like i’m missing something. While IE claims to be making 365hp on stage 1, and 431 on stage 2 (93), 034 claims to be making 377hp on stage 1, and 386, almost identical, on stage 2. Anyone have experience with this, or any info as to why this is? I have heard 034 likes to keep their tunes more reliable, but this is a fairly big difference.

2024.11.27 09:39 Valuable_Good_6567 [EU] Can you help me choose plz?

[EU] Can you help me choose plz? Hello everyone!
I'm looking for my first projector to use temporarily before I move in a few months. Since I don't plan on using it after that, I'm looking at second-hand options in Belgium.
I have a budget of 100-200€ and I plan to use it mainly for watching movies, as well as playing some video games (mostly single-player, not competitive).
I want to specify that I'm not looking for exceptional image quality, just something nice and user-friendly.
Here are some options i found: - Epson EH-TW4400 = 150€ - Philips, neopix ultra 2 = 80€ - BenQ TH681+ = 80€
If you think a new model in this price range is better than these offers, I'm open to suggestions.
Thank you very much for your help!
