>>14189657>tldr?Researchers calculated the best-fit hyperbolic curve of historic population data, dating back 200,000 years.
Hyperbolic is above-exponential, and goes to infinity withing a FINITE interval.
The aformentioned hyperbolic population curve goes to infinity at the near-end of 2026AD.
But our world's actual population data has separated from this curve after 1994AD.
So it seems like the population projection FAILED.
>isn't that obvious since you can't fit infinite number of people on the planet?That's where the multiverse patch comes in.
Adding planets to house the ever-growing numbers of people would allow the hyperbolic growth to continue unimpeded by Malthusian pressures.
This would leave a finite number of people per universe even while the total number of people in the multiverse kept growing.
>significance of 1994AD?That's when the multiverse first began.
>how big is the multiverse now (2022AD)?Around 5 universes.
Take the hyperbolic curve and divide it by the current world's population data.
>significance of NPCs?Even though the number of 'people' continues to grow at a hyperbolic rate,
the number of Souls doesn't. This means the available souls are spread around evenly between the universes.
Since there are 5 universes, this means our world only has 20% of the soul supply.
4 out of 5 people you meet will have their souls in one of the other 4 universes.
>implications about the futureAs the hyperbolic curve continues to become vertical, the number of universes necessary to house all the 'people' will continue to grow, and the available Souls will be spread thinner and thinner.
At the near-end of 2026AD, you will find yourself as the last soul in your universe.
