I can’t comprehend how this is built but it’s impressive. It reminds me of the book “A Short Stay in Hell” by Steven L. Peck.<p>“As a faithful Mormon, Soren Johansson has always believed he&#x27;ll be reunited with his loved ones in an eternal hereafter. Then, he dies. Soren wakes to find himself cast by a God he has never heard of into a Hell whose dimensions he can barely grasp: a vast library he can only escape from by finding the book that contains the story of his life. In this haunting existential novella, author, philosopher, and ecologist Steven L. Peck explores a subversive vision of eternity, taking the reader on a journey through the afterlife of a world where everything everyone believed in turns out to be wrong.“

Fascinating. Well done! There is a certain eerieness to seeing this actually work. Although Borges lived to see computers becoming mainstream, I am sure he never imagined his artistic vision being implemented in such a strangely convenient and easy way.

Could you please explain what&#x27;s it?<p>And how does it work? It can search every possible book has written?<p>It&#x27;s something like character-based embedding?<p>Also, it reminds me &quot;category theory&quot;
