Not sure why/how it came back but it did: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/pondering-my-orb
Finally, the answer. Thanks.
It's part of the answer. You can do computer/logic programming on an imaginary Orb as well, like in Lisp.
In physics and advanced mathematical geometry, an Orb can store vast amounts of energy and mathematical information based on sets. Stars and black holes are examples of physical orbs you can ponder.
I am curious about this. Would you please discuss it further? I like the idea of mental models that can be used in useful ways, or programmed in some way. The method of loci comes to mind. I have a mental representation of a semi permeable membrane that helps me intuit about which way osmotic pressure will push fluid in a given system. Some other useful mental models: SCP cognitohazard (to think of/perceive a cognitohazard is hazardous), mental models of triangles are useful for estimating load angles when rigging heavy machinery, tenth thicknesses are a useful model to determine how much radiation shielding is needed for a given radioactive source of x rem strength. Mental models can be very powerful tools, and the best part is that they have a very low cost of replication, being information. They exhibit the property of medium independence, being able to be replicated as a series of interactions that serve as the holding media of the information. Your brain holding the mental model of the item is an example. I have mostly pondered the mental models relating to straight lines and closed regular geometric forms. Help me ponder the orb.
Looks like somebody hasn't been doing their pondering exercises
Do you mean the ambient electronica band or this:
Jesus, that's the closest thing I've ever seen to a real-life supervillain group shot.
What isn't the orb? That's the real question.
The orb is love, the orb is life
The orb is.
Is orb the.
Yes. But also many. Every Orb has special but very similar properties.
The orb is nothing, the orb is all things.
Like a black hole or a star
Ponder it.
THE ORB CLEANSES YOUR SIN
DOUSE THE OPPONENT'S PYRE BY LEAPING UNTO IT WITH THE ORB
That's for me to ponder, and you to find out.

It's your bro Facing the other way!
(Please ignore that it would be dro, all hail dro.)
Certain levels in Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World end with Mario collecting a ? orb rather than the usual goal. During speedruns, it's customary to shout "Orb!" upon completing these levels.
Me speedrunning my Orb!
Orb is a bit like missingno, too.
little fluffy clouds
You might still see it in the desert.
what about (rule)
Don't trust every (rule). Trust science and pure maths more.

Lambda Calculus is a form of programming that I genuinely think can make you insane. And everything in it is (rule).
Hell if I know, but it came from The HoleTM
Basically how the actual concept and visualisation of an Orb can get into your head and alter your thinking based on imagination. Lisp programming is essentially a more controlled version of that, which you can use to make real logical deductions.
Black hole speculative physics and the internal geometries of spheres are based on Orbs as well.
That looks scary and made by a schizo. It feels offputting in the exact same way as schizo drawings in mental hospitals.
Jerry had the orb once and that is enough to know about it.. I mean....Jerry!
Do NOT throw off the orb's groove! Beware the groove!
Or do throw it off to mitigate its damage to the world, especially if you're some kind of scientist. Try not to spawn one in your own head by knowing too much about it, because it can drive you stark raving mad.
Orb is a substitute shell for human soul after its separation from a body.
Do you think that's what a schizophrenic is? They just operate on the principles of The Orb and it's how they make decisions?
The only real god. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aten
There are a few and they have mysterious powers. https://brisco-county-jr.fandom.com/wiki/Orbs
Oh snap I forgot all about that show.
These are fictional examples I think, but it's still a generally powerful concept you can make data structures by putting geometry inside of.
You have to collect them in each level to complete the game. You also need to collect gems as well since Moneybags charges you to learn new skills or open up pathways.
“ The Orb! Archimedes himself began the construction with little more than a mirror alignment! da Vinci added the gearings. Newton the lenses. Galileo the prisms! And all of the great poets, painters, scientists, alchemists, and philosophers have had the Orb in their hands.”
It's the goal of the game. If you get it, and return it to the surface you win. But, it prevents you from teleporting, and once you have it Pandemonium lords will be after you, so the Orb run itself is a hard bit of gameplay.

It got out again. If it gets too far, either the world will go insane or there will start being loads of people who think like "wizards."
The Orb could start a new era of both innovation and insanity. Don't trust a conceptual Orb. Question spheres using Science.
Don't let the Music of the Spheres control you. I have seen it happen to real people. Scientists like Newton would agree.
The Orb is mostly described in Occult texts that many people try to keep very hidden.
Music of the Spheres is a unique logical system that can produce statements not corresponding with an accurate depiction of our physical reality or "plane of being". Some high level mathematicians know these concepts already, to describe unique logic systems.
I also made a post like this. It's a powerful concept related to other concepts, which spreads easily and changes your way of thinking in subtle ways.
It's a bit like a religion and has existed since ancient times.
(Edit: It can also be very funny for a lot of reasons, so there are loads of memes of it circulating)
Also an electronic music group.
Orb.
It's what is collected at the end of some Super Mario World levels.
It’s basically Alex Pattersons baby.
Pretty sure it's this
