Hadean LandsΩ

[related: The Halting Problem]


A Web 1.0 text-based system of interactive fiction. The platform received notoriety for its Occultist undertones and startlingly sophisticated A.I. interface. Although the name directly references the Greek Underworld, the Hadean Lands narrative actually unfolds in "an alien, airless wasteland" comparable to a "vast chasm" or "endless white space". The program is notable in part for its creative employment of "the halting problem [1]" as a cybernetically embedded pitfall of raw code.

"Like water from stone - structure from The Emptiness."

Ωref#[Spectral Peaks] :: Hadean Lands.

  1. ↑ The problem of determining whether or not a computation or series of computations is finite or infinite in nature.
