A retired mathematical genius becomes the god of a digital comic universe, and his three characters, Alpha, Beta and Gamma, sense one another and search for a way out into reality. Junie Lau mixed live-action photography with early NeRF captures, keeping the real world sharp and the virtual one blurred and broken, and used AI for the comics, some scenes, the English voices and translation. Fibonacci numbers, magic squares and Pascal's triangle mark each character. It won Silver at [Runway's second AI Film Festival](https://aifilmhistory.org/entry/aiff-2024).
