Tron 嘅程式誕生序列

Steven Lisberger / Disney (1982)

Tron 早期,我哋睇住程式喺數碼世界入面實體化——唔係流暢,而係通過可見努力。Recognizers 好似幾何雷雲咁下降。新程式閃爍出現,對抗系統阻力掙扎緊。Flynn 被數碼化:佢嘅分子結構翻譯成數據,通過激光嘅孔徑強迫入電網。呢個唔乾淨。有雷(激光嘅工業嗡嗡聲),有混亂(物質變成訊息),有危險(MCP 嘅 ICE 等緊)。但程式一旦清除初始化,就達成形態。草葉穿過土地——嗰係 Flynn 嘅意識強迫自己變成可執行代碼。開始時嘅困難唔係失敗。佢係編譯嘅必要混亂。

Practical Integration

初始化時嘅混亂。下面嘅雷——你嘅創造衝動,想存在嘅嘢。上面嘅水——危險、未知、所有可以殺死你嘅嘢。佢哋混亂咁相遇。 Flynn 被數碼化入一個主動試圖殺佢嘅系統。程式通過可見掙扎實體化。草葉唔係流暢出現——佢強迫自己穿過壓實嘅土地,而你可以睇到努力。呢個就係佢嘅樣。 呢度係經典文本話嘅嘢:屯,元亨。唔係儘管困難。透過佢。混亂唔係你做錯嘅標誌。佢係創造力遇到阻力時開始嘅自然狀態。 所以呢度重要嘅係:唔好試圖獨自強迫佢,唔好期望流暢啟動。遇到開始困難然後諗『呢個意味住我應該放棄』嘅人——佢哋誤解咗開始嘅本質。遇到困難然後諗『我只係會推得更用力』嘅人——佢哋誤解咗混亂嘅本質。有用嘅係系統性參與實際問題,一次一個連接,同知道你唔知嘅嘢嘅人一齊。 Flynn 搵幫手。佢唔試圖單打 MCP。嗰唔係弱點——嗰係理解模式。泉水混亂咁湧出,但佢包含隱含秩序。你嘅工作唔係從外部施加秩序。係發現混亂入面已經存在嘅秩序,然後同佢一齊運作。 失敗模式:放棄因為佢難(誤解困難係正常)或更用力掙扎因為你諗力量克服結構(誤解混亂有隱含秩序)。兩樣都唔得。有用嘅係持續、智能參與實際現實。草葉唔強迫土地。佢只係繼續生長。

The Judgment

屯。元亨利貞。勿用有攸往。利建侯。Flynn 唔試圖第一日擊敗 MCP。佢搵 Tron。佢搵 Ram。佢學習系統。

Historical Context

Oracle Bone Script

雷(☳)喺下面推上,水(☵)喺上面壓落——能量上升入危險。

Period

周代

Traditional Use

Wilhelm 描述呢個為天地初次相遇產生個別存在嘅時刻。所有嘢都喺混亂運動,好似雷暴。

Character Analysis

雷上升(喚起力量、創造衝動),水下降(危險、未知)。佢哋混亂咁相遇。泉水湧出但未知流向邊。程式編譯但首次運行崩潰。自然。

向上推遇到向下危險。由下讀到上:陽喺底推,上面不確定同危險阻擋。

Trigram Symbolism

☵ 水(上)— 險,危險,未知 ☳ 雷(下)— 震,運動,主動 初次相遇產生混亂。

Unknown Artist — The Five Points

Unknown Artist (ca. 1827)

一八二七年的紐約街頭。很亂,但人還是在那裡活著。

Practical Integration

這幅畫叫《五點區》,畫的是一八二七年紐約最亂的街區。五條路在這裡交匯,周圍是歪歪斜斜的木屋、雜貨店、酒館。街上擠滿了人——黑人、愛爾蘭移民、窮人、小販、打架的、跳舞的、站在門口發呆的。你看不出誰是好人誰是壞人,也看不出這條街要往哪裡走。 我想起深水埗。不是現在那個有咖啡店和文青小舖的深水埗,是更早以前的,我阿嫲講過的那個。木屋、天台屋、籠屋,擠在一起。街上有賣菜的、補鞋的、收買爛銅爛鐵的。亂,但亂得有自己的秩序。 「屯」這個字,本來是草剛從泥土裡鑽出來的樣子。很難,但還是鑽出來了。卦辭說:「元亨,利貞,勿用有攸往,利建侯。」大概是說:開頭很好,但不要急著往前衝,先找幾個人幫手。 我看著畫裡那些人,想:他們不知道自己在「開頭」。他們只是活著,在亂七八糟的街上活著。後來五點區拆了,變成現在的曼哈頓中心。那些人去了哪裡?沒有人記得。開頭很難,但最難的是——你永遠不知道自己在開頭還是結尾。

The Judgment

屯。元亨利貞。勿用有攸往。利建侯。Flynn 唔試圖第一日擊敗 MCP。佢搵 Tron。佢搵 Ram。佢學習系統。
