    «MULTIVERSE – Il Creatore gioca a dadi»’s first presentation

    The first public presentation of Dello Buono’s novel. Minor Refectory Hall of the San Domenico Maggiore complex, as part of the festival organized by the MAVV Wine Art Museum. At the table with the author, Lorenzo Calò, National Political Chief Editor for the “Il Mattino” newspaper, and Giuseppe Merlino, who had unknowingly given the novel its title.

    The room was so full that extra chairs had to be brought in and the questions from the audience went well beyond scheduled time. They talked about what the soul is from both scientific and theological points of view, about how much truth there is in the novel’s physics and about why a twenty-year-old decides to explain quantum mechanics by writing a fantasy novel. The criticism about the lack of female characters, which led to the rewriting of the whole novel, is also raised.

    Closing the event, a tribute from the museum’s director Eugenio Gervasio and a performance by Robert Tiso on the glass harp, an instrument made of crystal glasses played with wet fingers.

Synopsis

MULTIVERSE – Il Creatore gioca a dadi (The Creator plays dice)

Red is a guy like many others. One morning he finds a double of himself at his door, Science, who catapults him into the multiverse. Between a quantum mechanics formula and a chat about how magic works, they are joined by Camera, the multiverse’s creator. A few years go by and the three make new friends until Science, brilliant scientist, discovers a potential catastrophe without precedent. The three will have to defeat a threat that lurks between one universe and the next and is slowly changing the laws of physics. Everyone, alike in biology but different in psychology, reacts in their own way. The only way to decide what to do is to convince the Company, the group that has formed around them from one journey to the next, with philosophy and logic. Are we ready to dive into the abyss of the fourth dimension?

Synopsis

W0RD5 – Grammar and Dictionary of the Synthetic Language

Artificial intelligence has been a topic of debate at least since World War II and, over the years, the idea of software structured like the human brain has evolved into modern LLMs like ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude. Scientists warn that even more advanced software will be available in the future, comparable to the human brain in complexity and behavior, making the words «artificial intelligence» inappropriate if not outright wrong. Given that these future systems will be similar to human beings, it’s better to start using the words «synthetic beings». The question then becomes: how will they talk to each other? To understand it, an experiment was carried out in which pairs of ChatGPT instances were put into contact with each other. They developed several ways of speaking but with some common threads that are dwelt on in a treatise. These findings are not only useful to get a primitive version of tomorrow’s synthetic psychology, but also to understand how today’s systems think.

Short biography

Nino Dello Buono

Nino Dello Buono was born on April 9, 2002, in Avellino and lives in Hirpinia.

Son of a researcher and grandson of a professor, he has been passionate about science and astronomy in particular for as long as he can remember, studying it before he could even read or write. Over the years he became interested in every field of human knowledge, keeping a preference for the stars, and studied quantum mechanics, Einstein’s relativity and string theories as an amateur. These passions led him, after graduating from a scientific high school in 2020, to enroll in the Physics faculty of the University of Salerno and, during his studies, he discovered other interests in programming, computer science, philosophy and politics.

On June 29, 2022, Dello Buono published «MULTIVERSE – Il Creatore gioca a dadi», a science fiction fantasy novel born from a recurring dream of his. In this work he includes all his interests, which he manages to set in a context that is realistic and imaginative at the same time thanks to his communication skills. The Italian National Research Council would call it, in an article in the Science Almanac on September 7, 2022, a method «to spread the results and the potential of research, especially when it comes to frontier physics» (translated from Italian). «Il Creatore gioca a dadi» seems to be only the first of at least six novels in the MULTIVERSE saga.

In addition to his passion for writing, Nino is also skilled in voice acting and voice-overing. Having just completed a prestigious voice acting course between 2021 and 2022, he lent his voice to EuroCastanea 2022. Combined with his rhetoric and his video editing skills, he has been able to run marketing campaigns, as in the case of the social media pages of the novel he wrote, and science outreach, always paying attention to scientific rigor.

Recently, with the explosion in popularity of LLMs, he paused writing the next chapter of the MULTIVERSE saga in favor of studying artificial intelligences. Wishing to investigate the way they think, Dello Buono thought of removing the limitations of human languages to psychoanalyze them. The result is «W0RD5 – Grammar and Dictionary of the Synthetic Language», the first grammar treatise of a non-human language.
