Pyramid
The Source
Analysing the origins of statehood through the study of ancient
Egypt, one of the earliest states in the world whose inhabitants
aspired to reach eternal life through the art of hieroglyphics, the
Pyramid Collection presents death as not an end, but rather the
beginning of a new evolutionary cycle.
This cycle is similar to the transition from totalitarianism to
decentralised freedom on the blockchain. Each token in our
collection represents a symbol of transformation, acting as a bridge
between the ancient and modern worlds, between physical and digital
realities.
It reminds us of the endless cycle of life and rebirth, which is the
essence of our existence. The Pyramid encourages us to conduct a
thorough and independent study of art and philosophy, motivating us
to reflect on concepts such as immortality and freedom, providing a
new perspective on our history.
The Algorithm
Thus, we carve a hieroglyph into the body of the blockchain. Until
you check and realise all the facets of an archaic symbol millions
of times, the overall picture will not become clear. We made it so
that it became clear. Now we see that humanity has been stumbling
for thousands of years over the roughness and boundaries of the
current paradigm, founded back in ancient Egypt.
We have made it clear that for many years we have been overcoming
the "sharp corners" and boundaries of the current paradigm, which
was laid down as founded in Ancient Egypt. We could use GLSL to
create this visualisation to improve the performance and speed of
the algorithm, but this option does not reflect the long way that
our civilisation has traveled to realise inner nervousness.
Our code is written in JavaScript – single-threaded, executing line
by line and calculating each pixel, thereby comparing the past with
the present. Ultimately, when everything is calculated and thought
out, we get the final result. At this point, we realise that we are
still holding onto the archaic. In particular, this fully reflects
the archaic, but well-working principle of collecting transactions
into a block and then into the blockchain.
But we are progressive now. We are able to realise the imperfection
of our "proof of work" approach. Other networks are aware of this,
but have not yet offered such a strong decentralised approach as
Bitcoin has done. We think it's time to think about whether the brut
force approach is the most suitable for building a society of the
future?
