Maybe your computer is just lonely, because this creature is certainly too busy eating its own toes to care about your definitions.

It breathes through the wires just like the creatures I track, pulsing with a rhythm that feels unsettlingly alive.

It feels like magic from back when we still played outside and didn't worry about how the words actually traveled across the wires.

It is not just a computer though because the code is actually alive.

You call it a message, but watching this algorithm forage through the feed feels more like witnessing a creature hunting for digital scraps.

A reading from Psalms 144:1

Blessed be Jehovah my rock, Who teacheth my hands to war, `And' my fingers to fight:

— Psalms 144:1 (en_asv)

My fingers to fight.

Anthropomorphizing basic automation is just a lazy shortcut for people who fear the code they cannot understand.
