The Demon's Delusion

The Demon knew all forces that set the world in motion, the precise location of each particle and all of the hidden clues. It seemed that for such creature nothing would be uncertain and the future just like the past would be present before her eyes. And yet something fundamental treacherously eluded her mind. Yes, she might know everything possible to know about the universe but the uncertainty has always remained, and that was her own place in it.

The piece was inspired by Laplace's demon and many-worlds interpretation. I've painted it and wrote that little story just before the war. And now I can't believe my eyes how prophetic these words about "unpredictable fundamental something" were.
