Reminds me of the initiation well in Portugal

Definitely looks like it took inspiration from it. I love that place btw, worth a visit with a guide to go through all the caverns.

Wow, this is my new background

Makes me wish I could move my clock into the void for a snug fit

You can put any infinitely complicated shapes you want on the internal surface of a circle or 3D Orb, since there are limitless points at the edges.

If this was AI the galaxy would probably look real as fuck and so the rest of the castle

Because it's a special mathematical fractal object that can encode sets of physical laws and run something analogous to a computer simulation by passing complex data structures around.

It's called a wizard Orb, and you can simulate it by pondering it in your own mind.
