One day I'd really like to take a stab at creating my own VR version of the Library of Babel

That's very cool. I've read about the idea, but now that I think about it, it seems perfectly doable to generate each possible combination on the fly. Kind of like a vastly complex and persistent procedural dungeon crawl generated in an instant from a string, you can always go back to it. I wonder what fraction of the set all possible books contain only a single page of coherent text hidden among hundreds of gibberish? Or even a single haiku. You could look at books 'til the end of time and miss transcendent works simply because you didn't flip one more page. That page might just be a grocery shopping list, or it might strike you with sudden and complete enlightenment, like a well aimed blow on the head from the Master.

I came up with idea on my own in my twenties during one of my obsessions with infinity. I called it the Complete Works project after the idea of the infinite monkeys and infinite typewriters. I had been writing a brute force subdomain resolver and started thinking about if I just let it run forever. It gave me years and years of thought exercises about free will and choices and the different paths and then I hit bliss and... Lol, nope. :D

I forget, are you a Pratchett fan? One of the Science of Discworld series did an excellent rundown on phase space that I think you would really dig.

The well aimed blow on the head from the Master usually comes when I forget something on the aforementioned shopping list. It's always sudden and complete, but rarely feels like enlightenment.

Serves him right for putting 'cat food' amidst a Graham's number of random graphemes.

Glad to see I'm not the only one with love for Laurie and her work.

Back when I was a college DJ, I used to play O Superman all the time, because at a certain hour of the graveyard shift it was exactly the right length to run madly out of the studio, down the concrete stairwall, and out the back door to inhale a joint, run blissfully back up the stairs into the studio, and cue the next track before the seventeenth "ha" after the crescendo.

If I wanted to get stoned and take a piss, I'd play it on 33 and a third.
