Come with me. 315 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,430 The ancient Japanese considered the Go board 316 00:30:45,555 --> 00:30:48,307 to be a microcosm of the universe. 317 00:30:48,433 --> 00:30:53,563 Although, when it's empty, it appears simple and ordered, 318 00:30:53,688 --> 00:30:57,817 the possibilities of gameplay are endless. 319 00:30:57,942 --> 00:31:02,655 No two Go games are alike, just like snowflakes. 320 00:31:02,780 --> 00:31:06,659 So, the Go board actually represents 321 00:31:06,784 --> 00:31:12,582 an extremely complex and chaotic universe. 322 00:31:12,665 --> 00:31:16,419 And that's the truth of our world, Max. 323 00:31:16,544 --> 00:31:19,589 It can't be easily summed up with math. 324 00:31:19,756 --> 00:31:22,842 There is no simple pattern. 325 00:31:22,967 --> 00:31:26,262 But as the game progresses, the possibilities become smaller. 326 00:31:26,429 --> 00:31:29,557 The board takes on order. Soon, every move's predictable. 327 00:31:29,682 --> 00:31:30,642 So? 328 00:31:30,767 --> 00:31:34,521 So maybe, even though we're not aware of it, 329 00:31:34,646 --> 00:31:40,527 there is a pattern, an order underlying every Go game. 330 00:31:40,652 --> 00:31:43,905 Maybe it's like the pattern in the stock market? 331 00:31:44,030 --> 00:31:46,866 The Torah?
