The Honky Tonk Lounge / Getbackers Manga Discussion / Re: GB 1st, 2nd, 3rd futures??

Well, we shouldnt forget why the archiver, as a cartesian and linear entity, fears chaos and entropy. So this third future without any soso ruler, deprived of logic walls and full of entropy is out of its understanding...which in a way is a flaw in GB scenario because Artificial Intelligence couldnt be afraid of chaos and entropy which are part always part of reality. It s a common error to describe an artificial intelligence in a so simplistic way like "digits are linear so an AI is linear". It s an aberration and happily real research in AI doesnt share that childish point of view.

The Honky Tonk Lounge / Getbackers Manga Discussion / Re: What is the Raitei?

The Raitei has also a metaphorical status in this manga.
[spoiler]In a way it crystalizes the sorrow of a mother for her passed son, her despair making her recreating him in an archive, so this character is also deeply rooted with feelings that oppose the rigorousness of the archiver s work, a commoon duality in teeny litterature[/spoiler]

The Honky Tonk Lounge / Getbackers Manga Discussion / belt line & babylon city
|

i m a lil confused...
attention, may contain spoiler (lil one)
der kaiser is the ruler of the belt line, ok, but where is the limit between belt line and babylon city? after reading trad and raw mangas till the end, i still dont get it...
is babylon city a part of infinite fortress or is it the "other" world?
if it s part of infinite fortress, i dont understand the difference between beltline and babylon city... if it s the "other" world, i dont understand why everybody wanna go there cause to be "the master of creation", they still have to meet the agreement of certain residents of babylon city...so what s all the ruffus about it till the beginning?? i dont get it (though, some parts still have no english translation)...
