The hills and mounds in the Landscape of the Great Thought Bubble arise from individual basic ideas, which immediately attract thoughts of a similar nature. That is why most cities in the Landscape stand on their own hill and are focused on a single field or theme. The City of Improbable Scenarios, where our adventure began, is home to magicians, actors, and other performers.

From the lookout, one can see the City of Fauna, Physics, Geometric Shapes, Flora, and the City of Transistors. The cities’ themes are even reflected in their architecture. For example, the Town Hall in the City of Flora is shaped like a cactus. The houses in the City of Fauna, meanwhile, allude to various animal species. People shop in a market shaped like a giant snake, and the school looks like a big puppy. Every city has an entrance to the Thought-Pipe in a prominent location, such as a town square, a major building, or a scenic lookout.

From words such as ‘banana tree” a specific plant grows in the landscape. However, if the word ‘thing’ arrives via the Thought-Pipe, a rare ‘Thing-plant’ will sprout from it under the right conditions.

We got stuck in the gardens for a bit. The reason wasn’t a narrow corridor, but the Robot’s passion for lecturing. Although we did learn that time runs differently inside the Thought Bubble, where several days correspond to just one minute on Earth, we still insisted he cut the information short. Our brain capacity just couldn’t handle it. So, the Robot promised to email us the rest of the lectures later.
