Main Ideas

  • Multiplicity and branching of realities: the idea that every choice creates a new reality, and all possible outcomes exist simultaneously.
  • The labyrinth as a metaphor for life and time: the labyrinth symbolizes the complexity and multivalence of human life and history.
  • The interconnection of time and space: the concept that time can be represented as a garden of forking paths, where each moment leads to multiple possible futures.
  • The idea of infinity: an exploration of the endless possibilities and paths that life and history can take.
  • Philosophical reflections on fate and free will: an examination of how choices and chance affect a person's destiny.
