Come with me. 311 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,746 The ancient Japanese considered the Go board 312 00:30:57,872 --> 00:31:00,621 to be a microcosm of the universe. 313 00:31:00,746 --> 00:31:05,872 Although, when it's empty, it appears simple and ordered, 314 00:31:05,997 --> 00:31:10,122 the possibilities of gameplay are endless. 315 00:31:10,247 --> 00:31:14,955 No two Go games are alike, just like snowflakes. 316 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,955 So, the Go board actually represents 317 00:31:19,122 --> 00:31:24,872 an extremely complex and chaotic universe. 318 00:31:24,997 --> 00:31:28,746 And that's the truth of our world, Max. 319 00:31:28,872 --> 00:31:31,913 It can't be easily summed up with math. 320 00:31:32,038 --> 00:31:35,122 There is no simple pattern. 321 00:31:35,247 --> 00:31:38,580 But as the game progresses, the possibilities become smaller. 322 00:31:38,705 --> 00:31:41,830 The board takes on order. Soon, every move's predictable. 323 00:31:41,955 --> 00:31:42,913 So? 324 00:31:43,038 --> 00:31:46,788 So maybe, even though we're not aware of it, 325 00:31:46,913 --> 00:31:52,788 there is a pattern, an order underlying every Go game. 326 00:31:52,913 --> 00:31:56,164 Maybe it's like the pattern in the stock market? 327 00:31:56,289 --> 00:31:59,164 The Torah?
