the museum of false truths

Should you find an existence that stands inconsistent to reality, then there may only be two possibilities: that the existence is a lie, or that reality is not as you know it. And maybe, just maybe, between these paradoxes lies a most fascinating non-existence yet.

One thing I don't see talked about anywhere near enough is how Qingque and Fu Xuan seem to be an analogy for quantum vs. classical physics. We have Fu Xuan, distinguished master diviner, trained since childhood with all her rules and regulations memorised down to a tee in order to create a flawlessly functioning system. Although she wishes fate could be changed, she has resigned herself to the idea that the same circumstances will always lead to the same outcome, creating a rigid future. Then there's Qingue- a regular citizen of the Luofu, deceptively intelligent but totally lacking in rigor, instead taking life as it comes and simply trying to enjoy what she can. She believes that there's always another solution, another route to take when faced with daunting fate. On multiple occasions, the narrative has compared their philosophies, pitting them against each other.

In short, Fu Xuan represents the school of thought that all outcomes can be precisely calculated with enough information, while Qingque represents the idea that there are always infinite possible outcomes due to randomness.

Fu Xuan: *sleeping after a hard day at work*

Jing Yuan: The long hours of work have made themselves felt. Would I have slept at my desk if I hadn't arrived on time?

There is so much gapfiller potential in the fact that Hu Tao, Lan Yan, and Qiqi spent two days inside the border as it was disintegrating around them, and Hu Tao could see the exit but could never reach it in time. Like the border between life and death was both her duty and a place where she is fairly comfortable, she maintained it and in turn it helped her job go smoothly, and now it traps and betrays her despite her efforts, a sanctum desecrated through no fault of her own.

The border is the place where she's supposed to belong, it's her expertise, and suddenly none of her skill or dedication is enough - not to preserve the border, not to deal with the sudden illnesses in Qingce, not even to save the two people trapped her, let alone herself. She's not even in her familiar uniform, not wearing the hat that provides her with confidence, or maybe a reminder of her duties. Yes, she's expecting backup, and no, she's not alone. But she's with a person she just met (albeit one she gets along with) who also bears a long legacy, and the child who might as well be the embodiment of compromise, the proof that Hu Tao's perception isn't perfect. And if she misunderstood Qiqi for so long, what else about her job (her livelihood, her life) has she missed?
