Long text and multi-picture analysis early warning! ! !
I will try to discuss and explain the Central Finite Curve . The direct definition of curve in manga and animation is:
As can be seen from the figure, there are two definitions for the Central Finite Curve . The common point is that both definitions involve the dichotomy of the multiverse.
One is: the dimension that meets these two conditions at the same time-the functional rick entity (functional rick entity) that is still functioning + the working ecosystem (working ecosystem) vs. the dimension that does not meet the two conditions and is valid at the same time.
The other is: the universe where rick is the smartest person in the universe vs. the universe where rick is not the smartest person in the universe
We will mainly consider the latter, which is the definition in animation.
In addition, in S1E10, Rick-137 was called by the Rick court as “Of all the Ricks in the central finite curve, you’re the dissatisfied. the malcontent. The rogue.)"
In S3E7, Simple Rick , which is used to make simple rick biscuits in Rick City , is described as " sixteen iterations outside the finite center curve. One Rick is more often dealing with wood than non-polar plating (Sixteen iterations off the central finite curve, there's a Rick that works more with wood than polarity plating)”.
(As for whether it is 16 or 60, I didn’t listen carefully. The script I found was 16 but it doesn’t matter.)
(Iterative iteration refers to the process of repeatedly performing a series of calculation steps to obtain the subsequent quantities from the previous quantities. Each result of this process is obtained by performing the same calculation steps on the previous result. Each time. A repetition of the process is called an "iteration", and the result of each iteration will be used as the initial value of the next iteration. Here it may refer to a certain unit used to measure the distance of a dimension, or it may refer to the division of each dimension Times, such as the mode in S4E8)
There are obviously two interpretation problems: (1) Does rick in the second definition refer to rick-137 or is it a rick for each universe? (2) On which side of the finite center curve is rick-137?
Some people may think that the problem (1) can be solved like this: As evil morty said in S5E10, "All ricks are actually a rick" "All ricks are an infinite baby", S3E7 will also say, Although the ricks in Rick City have different identities, they are all the same smart, and they are all identical.
This may mean: ricks may have many individuals or entities, but there is only one universal of ricks.
(The discussion about "particulars" and "universal" is a classic metaphysical problem. In simple terms, it is similar to the particular: every circle we see in our lives, and the universal: as a concept "Circle." If you want to know the relevant discussion, you can read related metaphysics introduction books.)
So rick in the second definition is general rickness including rick-137.
The question then transformed into individual rick rick city has essentially (in particular about the nature of intelligence) differences do?
If you support the position of "someone" in the previous paragraph, you will think that there is no difference; but if there is a difference, the position of the previous paragraph is wrong.
But we will find that some other evidence seems to point to the "different" side. For example, the various ricks that appeared in S5E8 did not look very smart.
For example, in S1E10, there is a silly rick who eats his own shit.
S3E7 also has a silly rick who is still in school, etc. And rick-137 often says that he is the "most rick", or the rick closest to the general rickness. In S3E7, rick, a biscuit factory rebel, was similarly evaluated. (But then, the plot hints us that all ricks are the same age, and the IQ is the same, they are essentially "kb molecules")
I am not conclusive here. Because some people can also argue that they are people who have entered the other side of the finite center curve for some reason, just like in the comics, rick will also suspect that he has reached the outside of the finite center curve; it can also be said that these ricks In essence, they are all the same, except that the degree of general rickness is different; it can also be said that the innate parts of these ricks are the same, but the acquired parts will change ("Similar sex, far away from Xi").
In addition, in S3E1, Rick who came to Rick-137 would say: Are you alone? Man, you have yourself, your infinite self. This is a never-ending party, and all guests are the only ones we like. You think it's cool to be the smartest person on earth, but once we give you this technology, you will become the smartest person in the universe—infinite Rick, God. （Lonely? Dude, you have yourself - your infinite selves. It's a nonstop party where all the guests are the only person we like. You think it's cool being the smartest man on Earth, but once we give you this technology, you become the smartest thing in every conceivable universe - the Infinite Rick, a god.)
First of all, this sentence seems to imply the existence of a General Rickness, because infinite ricks are called " the only person we like" "the Infinite Rick, a God"; secondly, for Rick-137 to be given the teleport gun Becoming the "smartest person in the universe" is a mystery-giving you a teleportation gun will not increase your IQ. A possible guess is that after the infinite ricks can touch each other through the teleport gun, the whole of the Infinite Rick will become the smartest existence.
But there is such a division of interpretation paths:
1) There are two kinds of rickness, one is that A Rickness means the smartest person, and the other is that B Rickness is not the smartest person. The multiverse is thus divided. The rick belonging to A Rickness is on one side, and the rick belonging to B Rickness is on the other.
1.1) The ricks we (the audience) have seen belong to A Rickness, but their rickness is not the same. For example, each of them may be the smartest person in their own world, but on this basis, Rick-137 is the smartest person in A Rickness (this makes most A ricks cling together because they are highly similar to each other. , And there is no A Rickness in "Refusing to be with others", and the most A rickness Rick-137, therefore refuses to join Rick City).
1.1.1) The different degree of A Rickness means that A Rick is essentially the same in terms of innate intelligence and age, but different in appearance and degree of rebellion. The biscuit factory’s rebels rick and rick-137 are different. High level; in other words, A rick’s essential inclination and potential (Mengzi’s so-called “sex”) are the same, and the potential in terms of innate intelligence and age is relatively easy to realize (but there are very few exceptions, such as S3E7 who is still in school. rick), so it is generally consistent, but the potential of the degree of rebellion is more difficult to realize, so there is a clear distinction between high and low.
Comment: (This explanation will encounter a lot of metaphysical problems. For example, how different kinds of Rick are different, and they are all identical. It's not impossible to solve, but it will be more troublesome.)
1.1.1.1) The S3E1 paragraph means that whoever invents the teleport gun is "the smartest rick in the world". The finite center curve separates the invention of the transmission gun from the rick who did not invent the transmission gun, in order to protect the happy lives of the Bricks (wives will not be killed).
Comments: (A large number of counterexamples cannot be explained, nor do they conform to the original intent of the paragraph in S3E1)
1.2) Some of the ricks we (the audience) have seen are A Rickness and some B Rickness, which shows that the finite center curve is traversable.
Comment: (Can't explain why Evil Morty can't pass through)
1.3) The Rick we have seen are actually B Rickness.
Comment: (But this is unlikely, after all, Rick-137 is often praised for its peerless intelligence)
2) There is no such thing as Rickness or General Rick Identity, only a variety of Rick. RIck-137 separates the universe where no one is smarter than oneself from the universe where no one is smarter than oneself.
2.1) RIck-137 is the smartest in the former universe. Comment: (I can’t explain the animation, including S5E10. After talking about the finite center curve, I will say a lot about a General Rick. I can’t explain, S5E10, "Rick is the universe of the smartest person in the universe." The "universe" in the words is singular, that is, a single dimension. In other words, the exact meaning of this sentence is that the singular subject Rick is the smartest in this singular universe, while the non-singular subject Rick is in some plural universes. Is the smartest.)
2.2) RIck-137 is the dumbest in the latter universe.
Comments: (unlikely)
3) A more refined metaphysical distinction: there is only one kind of Rickness, and various kinds of ricks. Rick's essence is the same, but the manifestations shown are different for various reasons. (The detailed explanation is the same as 1.1.1) The plan of other ricks is to unite into a rick community. As a unity, they are a god, and they will generally be united. But Rick-137, the best realization of the essence of Rickness, has shown itself in Rickness's "unwillingness to join others", so he is comparable to all other ricks' communities and is not united.
3.1) Rick-137 agreed to forgive other Rick and not kill them, as long as the other party is not smarter than himself. Others Rick and Rick-137, who are not as good as Rick-137, built a finite central curve that separates them from the universe in which Rick, who is smarter than Rick-137, exists. In this way, Rick-137 is the king of the universe inside the wall, and can use it as a base to prepare for revenge against Rick, who is outside the finite central curve. Rick-137 allows other Rick to mess around and doesn't want to talk to them.
Comment: (I think the best explanation. Another piece of evidence is that in S1E10, Evil Rick has a list of evil degrees. He and Rick-137 are very close, but there are still people on both sides of the list. But no way. Explain, S5E10, "The universe" in the sentence "Rick is the smartest person in the universe" is singular, that is, a single dimension.)
3.2) Rick-137 agreed to forgive other Rick and not kill them, as long as the other party is not smarter than himself. Rick, who is not as good as Rick-137, and Rick-137 together built a finite center curve that puts Rick-137 and other ricks smarter than him together.
Comments: (unlikely)
3.3) All Rick have the same IQ, but in some universes, there are higher IQ than this. Then in those universes, Rick is not the smartest, and there is no higher IQ in some universes. The universe is thus separated.
Comments: (similar to 1.1.1)
Also note: the condition that "rick-137 is the smartest person in this universe" includes those universes without rick or nothing.
Do not accept criticism of "the creator didn't think so much" unless you can unconsciously write all the scripts that contain the details of the original drama mentioned above.
9.14 Update
S5E10, Rick-137 said that Evil Morty's speech is It isnt the whole truth. If you are interested, you can learn "theory of knowledge" or "philosophy of language." If the screenwriter uses English correctly, It isnt the whole truth means, "What you said is right, but it's only part of the truth" instead of "One sentence is true, one sentence is false", that is called not all true. So that paragraph of speech is credible. The missing part of truth may be about the experience after Rick-137's wife was killed.
But here is a possible "hidden" explanation: I still remember that the Mortys once said that the school in Rick City would teach them the same. This is not because Mortys are really the same, but morty. Our different parts will scare the ricks.
So maybe all the same remarks about ricks are Evil Morty's lies. However, there is no more evidence for this, but there are many counterexamples. So everyone just enjoy it.
Another extreme interpretation is that all these worlds belong to one Meta-Rick, in other words, this is the multiverse created by God Rick.
However, the evidence for these explanations is relatively small, and everyone is happy to see it.
9.9 Update why the statement that "the standard of the smartest person is to invent the teleport gun" is problematic.
The arguments of the respondents who hold this view are all what Jacket rick said to rick-137 in S3E1. The original English text is, Lonely? Dude, you have yourself - your infinite selves. It's a nonstop party where all the guests are the only person we like. You think it's cool being the smartest man on Earth, but once we give you this technology, you become the smartest thing in every conceivable universe - the Infinite Rick, a god.
If this passage is to say, the invention of the trans-time transfer gun is the smartest, there is no way to explain why he said "once we give you this technology" instead of "once you invent this technology". How can we give you this technology to make you the smartest person? A better explanation seems to be that given this technology, ricks can unite into a new identity, and this identity is the smartest in every conceivable universe.
In addition, I hope you don’t look at the text based on the Chinese translation. After all, there may be various inaccuracies in the translation process. Giant baby is not Wu Zhihong’s invention. The metaphorical meaning of giant baby is also commonly used in English. You can search it on Google.
