EN: The idea behind Torus isn't the theory of the overall shape of all universe, it's more the thought of how it potentially could work if this theory was proven. The debate over the existence of hyperspace is still ongoing, even though humans will likely never come close to proving or disproving it. Does hyperspace exist? Does hyperreality exist? What if our universe is just a link in a chain of more universes with different realities? What if these universes coexist and our presence in them can be switched? Stranger things by Duffer brothers, King's Insomnia, Michio Kaku's Hyperspace... And if all of this comes out as a myth or a conspiracy theory, it still can be understood as an artist's fantasy.

SK: Námetom skladby Torus paradoxne nie je ani tak teória o celkovom tvare vesmíru ako skôr to, ako by to mohlo teoreticky vo vesmíre fungovať keby sa táto teória potvrdila. Polemika či by mohol existovať hyperpriestor je naďalej aktuálna, aj keď sa ju ľudstvu pravdepodobne nikdy nepodarí presvedčivo potvrdiť ani vyvrátiť. Existuje hyperpriestor? Existuje hyperrealita? Čo ak je náš vesmír len jedným okom v pomyselnej reťazi iných "našich" vesmírov s inou realitou? Čo ak tieto vesmíry existujú súčasne a naša prítomnosť v nich sa dá jednoducho prepínať ako stránky v tabuľkovom softvéri? Stranger Things bratov Dufferovcov, Kingova Insomnia, Hyperspace od Michia Kaku... A ak by sa napokon z tohto všetkého vykľul mýtus alebo konšpiračná teória, stále to môžeme považovať za umelcovu fantáziu.
