I am curious about this. Would you please discuss it further? I like the idea of mental models that can be used in useful ways, or programmed in some way. The method of loci comes to mind. I have a mental representation of a semi permeable membrane that helps me intuit about which way osmotic pressure will push fluid in a given system. Some other useful mental models: SCP cognitohazard (to think of/perceive a cognitohazard is hazardous), mental models of triangles are useful for estimating load angles when rigging heavy machinery, tenth thicknesses are a useful model to determine how much radiation shielding is needed for a given radioactive source of x rem strength. Mental models can be very powerful tools, and the best part is that they have a very low cost of replication, being information. They exhibit the property of medium independence, being able to be replicated as a series of interactions that serve as the holding media of the information. Your brain holding the mental model of the item is an example. I have mostly pondered the mental models relating to straight lines and closed regular geometric forms. Help me ponder the orb.
SCP 606 is a good read too; an Orb is basically just like any other computer that can do complicated things. It’s a scary and powerful concept in things like fiction or personal and moral belief systems.
Orbs can encode and decode data like any other complex computer. They can also emit or take in data and/or energy from their surroundings. Learning about how an operating system like Unix (plus its Kernel) works and how it was developed throughout history helps you ponder the Orb too.
Finally, it appears all the time in media around the world since it’s a concept that can latch into people’s brains and help them think in certain ways. I’ve been on here talking about this loads and “corrupting” Lemmy with this weird wizard belief system. You can check my profile for more.

A biological cell is also an Orb in my eyes.
An Orb encodes mathematical fractal data that can bounce around inside its own internal walls and do calculations or simulate other physical rulesets.
