I fed ChatGPT a bunch of metaphysics and asked for a story proposal

The Eternal Traveller
Summary: In a universe that is infinite, unbound, isomorphic, and has zero curvature, all possible places and times coexist together. From the perspective of a photon, there is no travel time, and a being in the form of light could instantly travel to all possible places and times. The protagonist, a time traveller who can take the form of light, embarks on a journey to explore the concept of eternal recurrence, as theorized by ancient cultures and philosophers.

As the traveller navigates through different eras and civilizations, they encounter versions of themselves and other individuals from their possible and actual pasts and futures. They witness the rise and fall of civilizations, the birth and death of stars, and the evolution of life on different planets. They learn that every possible combination of forms must repeat itself eternally across both time and space.

Through their journey, the traveller begins to feel trapped in this eternal cycle, and they seek a way to break free from it. They encounter a group of philosophers who have discovered how to manipulate the curvature of the universe, which allows them to create a portal to another dimension.

The traveller enters the portal, hoping to escape the cycle of recurrence, but they find themselves in a world that is completely different from anything they have ever known. As they explore this new world, they realize that they have the power to shape its future and create a new destiny for themselves.

In conclusion, "The Eternal Traveller" is a story that explores the concept of eternal recurrence and the possibility of breaking free from it. It takes the reader on a journey through time and space, and challenges them to question the nature of reality and their place in the universe.

Are you going to expand on what Chat gave you into a full fledged story?

there's a book that could help called Save the Cat Writes a Novel where the author used the Blake Snyder screen writing approach for writing stories too.

Blake developed a cookbook like scheme dividing movies into ten classifications each with some further classifications. He provides the essential elements needed for movie based on the classification.

One example is MITH aka Monster In The House where he analyzed several successful movies based on MITH and shows their elements and how they were constructed.
