[x3d-public] DIGITS#17 - the true enemy (German language!)

[John Carlson]

Interesting Christoph. I had the idea of universes as digits (not sure who
was first), but I haven't done anything with the idea.  My new idea is that
a multipronged virus hits the planet, rendering everything "Normal" (The
movie title, or "The Newest Normal") or identical humans, cars, plants,
roads, shapes, movies and text in a scene replicated, with different views.
I don't have any dialog yet, but there would only be one song.

This seems like what Douglas Hofstatder was smoking when he wrote "Godel,
Escher, Bach,..." I guess.

Probably a good soundtrack for "Normal" would be a derivative of "Little
Boxes."
