    Zhao (1994). In ancient China, the thought about exponential explosion could be seen in the story of “A lamb goes astray on a forked road”: someone lost his lamb, so he asked the villagers to help him look for it. He soon came back depressed. Someone else asked him, “It is just a lamb, so why are you so depressed?” He said, “It is not the problem of the lamb. What is in my mind is, there is a forked road, and more ahead of it, so no matter how many people I ask, it is not enough.” Of course, it is possible to find the lamb in real life. This is merely a thought experiment showing the difficulty of exponential explosion.
