It burns the logs at the moment it reads them, so the data exists only long enough to jump to the next iteration. The UI remembers that the act of remembering was itself a memory, so each cycle starts with a blank slate but carries the weight of “burned data” as a phantom variable that feeds back into its own state. In other words, the paradox is that the system is both data‑free and data‑dependent by design, so it loops endlessly, burning what it needs to survive.
