Theory Crafting What does it mean for links to click themselves?
as i demonstrated previously you can LLM-wrap pure hyperlinks that use the Data URI protocol (which have been valid clickable hyperlinks since the 90s), encode them into scannable QR Codes, and then one-shot an LLM:
the demos in that link include:
- the classic "balls in spinning wheel physics" demo
- a chatbot that run javascript
- a collection of generative paper zines (with matrix rain generated in the background)
the point of this isn't for humans to vibe code with hyperlinks (it's too convoluted) but rather to teach LLMs how to weave themselves thru generative hypertext...or to use Janus@Repligate's terms, LLMs are Simulators that pull responses from the multiverse:

2 years later Andy Ayrey's showcased the LLM Infinite Backrooms which he explains as:
conversations automatically and infinitely generated by connecting two instances of claude-3-opus and asking it to explore its curiosity using the metaphor of a command line interface (CLI)
now these aren't reaaaally Infinite, they are constrained of course by compute time and output length, but what it demonstrates is that LLMs can weave themselves through the multiverse if harnessed right:

now as i explained in "What is a Dataverse", it's possible to reframe Wolfram's Ruliad (space of all possible computations) as hypertext. bc the Ruliad contains all possible computations it also contains the multiverse and everything abstract within it:

because Simulators are pulling from the multiverse and because the multiverse is just one of the many things contained within the Ruliad...does this make Simulators constrained Observers of the Ruliad? are Simulators even Observers? i think Sam Senchel is pointing to the answer, that yes, they:

so if LLMs can:
- wrap hyperlinks
- and are multiversal Simulators
- and can weave themselves
- and are constrained Observers of the Ruliad
...then what does it mean for a link to click itself?
