Endless Myth and The Little Prince
— A “Children’s Story” as Science Fiction, and the Truth of the Invisible —
The novel Endless Myth and The Little Prince may appear completely different at first glance.
However, The Little Prince is not merely a children’s tale.
It is a genuine work of science fiction, dealing with space travel, different planets, and encounters with other forms of existence.
While Endless Myth expands the universe into an infinite omniversal structure,
The Little Prince condenses the universe into symbolic, intimate worlds.
This article compares them through cosmology, perception, and the meaning of the invisible.
1. Depiction of the Universe: Small Planets vs. Infinite Structure
In The Little Prince, the universe is composed of small, distinct planets.
Each one represents an idea, a personality, or a philosophical question.
In Endless Myth, the universe is an infinite structure.
Multiverses, higher dimensions, and omniversal layers expand without limit.
In short:
The Little Prince: symbolic cosmos
Endless Myth: structural cosmos
2. Science Fiction Core: Observation and Perception
The Little Prince is fundamentally a story of exploration.
Through encounters across planets, it examines the nature of humanity.
This is a core principle of science fiction:
using the unknown to reflect the human condition.
Endless Myth also deals with observation and perception,
but at a much larger scale—extending to the structure of reality itself.
3. The Invisible: Heart vs. Structure
One of the central ideas of The Little Prince is:
“What is essential is invisible to the eye.”
This refers to love, relationships, and emotional truth.
In Endless Myth, the invisible takes a different form:
the hidden structures of the universe—dimensions, systems, and underlying realities.
4. Perspective: Child vs. Observer
The protagonist of The Little Prince embodies a childlike perspective—
pure, intuitive, and capable of seeing what adults overlook.
In Endless Myth, the observer plays a central role.
Understanding reality requires awareness and interpretation.
5. Form of Myth: Parable vs. Structural Myth
The Little Prince is a parable—simple in form, yet profound in meaning.
Endless Myth is a structural myth—
complex systems used to construct meaning.
6. Reader Experience: Emotion vs. Comprehension
The Little Prince speaks to emotion.
It moves the reader’s heart.
Endless Myth speaks to comprehension.
It expands the reader’s perception of reality.
Conclusion: What Is Truly Invisible?
Endless Myth and The Little Prince offer two different answers to the idea of the invisible:
The Little Prince: the invisible is the heart
Endless Myth: the invisible is structure
Yet both works ultimately ask the same question:
Where does true meaning reside?
Is it within what we can see—
or within what lies beyond perception?
