The initial inspiration of this work comes from the Diamond Sutra of Buddhism: "Can you think about the Eastern void? ... Four - dimensional upper and lower void can be considered? No." Meanwhile, the four dimensions of Einstein's general and special theories of relativity Space also has something in common with it.
On this basis, I combined with the Oriental traditional strange novels I read in my childhood and my personal experience to develop the work, corresponding to the reference frame above the four-dimensional space, aiming to express the vast space of the universe and the large number of unknowable creatures, and explore the interdependent relationship between human beings and other creatures in nature and high-dimensional creatures.
In Einstein's theory of relativity, time can be used as an imaginary reference axis in four dimensions of space, and in Oriental mythological fiction, some non-human beings can use time to travel to the past or see the future. For this reason, I have made a hypothesis that there may be quantized beings in the universe that are separate from the physical and mental. They are like untouchable consciousness, not easily seen or touched, but there. Just as people write down their consciousness by means of writing, painting, etc., these unknowable beings can also manifest themselves through lower-dimensional entities below four dimensions.
In addition, I also reflected in the work, whether such emotions that are dependent on creatures in high-latitude space are personal virtual worlds built by human beings on the basis of self-protection and used for escaping reality, or whether they are just fantasies of the fourth dimension after human beings combine illusion and coincidence?
