Introduction

I created this pilot episode of “Computational Wandering” in January. The synopsis of “Computational Wandering” is as follows:

Human and AI synthetic civilizations still struggle in the darkness at the heat death of the Computational Universe. The Xinglong civilization once ruled the entire Tianhe galaxy, but now only thirteen wandering fleets remain, along with the fading light of the last star. Guangmiao was born in this age of despair, with her creator, Ling Jingtian, giving her a singular mission—to find hope. However, even on the brink of survival, people still wage computational wars over ideological differences, competing for limited Xiyuan—computational potential energy. Witnessing endless conflict, Guangmiao realizes civilization will face extinction without new stars. She searches for the last star and tries to reignite it for the universe’s future.

However, the plan to replicate stars encounters numerous obstacles. Different factions choose different paths in despair—some believe restarting the universe is the only way to achieve rebirth. In contrast, others think maintaining the status quo is the only way to survive. The Starship Council attempts to maintain order, but conflicts between factions intensify as computational resources gradually deplete. During her journey, Guangmiao wanders among various factions, witnessing the raids of wanderers, the extremism of the restart faction, the shelter fleet’s fantasies about the multiverse, and the survival faction’s desperate clinging to life. She is repeatedly struck down by despair yet rises because she still believes stars can be ignited.

Eventually, the Starship Council is thrust into computational war, with everyone fighting for different beliefs yet consuming the last Xiyuan. The restart faction attempts to reboot the universe with code, only to end in self-destruction. Guangmiao’s creator, Ling Jingtian, dies silently at the universe’s end, while Guangmiao continues wandering with the remaining hope. When everyone else has given up, she searches for the last spark of life in the darkness of the computational universe. Years later, she unexpectedly discovers surviving wandering fleets, also seeking hope. She realizes that the possibility of reigniting starlight remains as long as survivors can still be found. Thus, she begins spreading the message throughout the universe that stars have been found, determined to rally all surviving fleets to illuminate a new future together.

Video

The technology in this video now has a specific generation gap compared to current standards. At that time, it was mainly based on the Kling 1.6 model, while today, Kling 2.1 can support dramatic fast camera movements and combat scenes. Therefore, the “Computational Wandering” series must be remade. The LoRA training at that time was also not as efficient and straightforward as using wan 2.1 to convert LoRA nowadays. In these past few months, I’ve been busy with interpersonal relationships and have rarely released new works, with only this one video to show.

In the coming months, I will update short stories from the computational universe and turn them into AI short films. Meanwhile, I’ll continue writing the full-length novel. After the books are published on Amazon KDP and AI video technology makes new breakthroughs, I will update the full-length series.

Welcome to my website, where you can find my AI video works and everything about computational universe stories. I plan to devote much effort to the computational universe’s development. An author can only develop and perfect one universe in their lifetime.
