Here we see a dramatic dialog between the Oracle of the Divine Pumpkin
and the supplicant caterpillar unfolding before us.
Never before, from the Delphi Oracle to the Oracle of the Matrix,
has the supplicant cast doubt on the accuracy of the Oracle’s divination:
Threatening the Oracle with punishment in a case of wrong foretelling.
The Oracle foretells the caterpillar that she will be transformed
into the beautiful Princess of the Butterflies.
But if it doesn’t happen, the Oracle will perish – eaten by the caterpillar.
Writings on the stone:
Quid est veritas? – What is the Truth?
Ultima ratio – Last Reason
Vita varia est – Life is full of Vicissitudes
