Volume Three: Prophecy — The Exponential Future

(第三卷：预言——指数的未来)

We have calculated the current coordinates ($\tau \approx 1800$), confirming that we are at a dawn moment when the old order is collapsing and the new order is not yet established.

Now, let us shift our gaze from “now” to the right side of that exponential growth curve. There lies the domain of $\tau >1800$. There, the evolution equation $c(\tau )$ will become dizzyingly steep.

If in the past millennium, the growth of light speed (computational power ceiling) was only a gentle climb, then in the next few centuries, it will become a vertical takeoff.

The first prophecy we must face is about ourselves.

This is a cruel but must-accept physical fact: As a computational form stored in carbon atom chains, human flesh is already obsolete.

This is not pessimism; this is physics.
