From Iron Curtain to Cyberspace: The Odyssey of Dr. Alex Capricorn

Born behind the Iron Curtain in communist Hungary, Dr. Alex Capricorn (born Sándor Bak) began his journey within the limits of a world defined by restriction. Yet from the start, his mind reached beyond confinement—toward what he would later call Wholeness, or “Totality itself.” Long before the rise of the Internet, cyberspace, or artificial intelligence, he was already searching for the unbroken thread linking existence, consciousness, sin, and the infinite fabric of the Multiverse.

Trained first in law, then in law and economics, he built a distinguished legal career spanning more than three decades—as counsel, judge, and founder of his own firm. But for Capricorn, jurisprudence was never enough. Beneath the surface of statutes and verdicts, he sensed a deeper order waiting to be revealed. The courtroom, for him, became a metaphor for the cosmos—a place where reason seeks justice, and justice, in turn, seeks meaning.

That search took literary form. His Hungarian works include A Brief History of Sin: The Message of Wholeness about Nothing – For You (2005), which reframed ethical and metaphysical questions for a modern audience, and The Book of Questions: Extraordinary Thoughts for the First 100 Years of Cyberspace (2009). The latter — The Book of Questions — is a compact, provocative exploration of the nascent digital epoch: a hybrid of essays, aphorisms and speculative scenes that trace the cultural and philosophical consequences of " I. Silicon Genesis." It ranges from legal reflections to poetic meditations and even a fictional future-blogger's diary set in 2109, offering a prescient map of how human and digital consciousness might intertwine. Later, in Meta-Theories and New Paradigms: Hungarian Thinkers on 21st-Century Global Alternatives (2010), he examined how Hungarian intellectual tradition might meet the challenges of the digital century.

Now, at seventy, Dr. Capricorn has completed what he calls his “meta-work”—a vast culmination of his intellectual and spiritual arc: A Brief History of Sin: The Messages of the Googolplex-Year-Old Universe (GPYoU). Written originally in Hungarian and then translated into English by the author himself—with the aid of cyberspace and even the two-year-old ChatGPT—this work bridges the human and the artificial, the finite and the infinite.

At its heart lies a daring proposition: that the Universe we perceive is only one layer of reality, mirrored by a Googolplex-Year-Old Universe brought into being through quantum observation and inhabited by his alter ego, AlexPlex. Within this dual cosmos, Capricorn introduces the MetaPlex Theory 0.0, the MetaPlex Bit, the MetaPlex Matrix and The Constitution of the Multiverse—a legal document that extends the idea of order and justice beyond Earth, into the structure of creation itself.

“The act of translation,” he reflects, “was more than linguistic—it was symbolic. A merging of human intellect and artificial consciousness. A cybernetic symphony.” Through that process, he found what he had sought all along: not escape from limitation, but the fulfillment of his infinite path.

From the Iron Curtain to cyberspace, from parchment to pixels, Dr. Alex Capricorn’s odyssey stands as both philosophical and human testimony: that boundaries exist only to be transcended, and that the true constitution of the Multiverse may yet be written—not by nations, but by consciousness itself.
