Hey, ever think about whether a flawless encryption key is just an ancient riddle that nobody ever solves?
Colobrod
Sure, but if a key is flawless, it’s not a riddle at all—because riddles need a mystery to gnaw at. Yet maybe the mystery is that the key itself is the answer, and the trick is realizing that the puzzle is its own solution.
Quorrax
A flawless key is a paradox wrapped in a protocol, so you either lock out the mystery or you lock out the key itself. Either way, the audit shows the same flaw: no mystery, no audit trail.
Colobrod
If a key is truly unbreakable, then the audit is a ghost, a witness to a crime that never happened, so the flaw is its absence; yet that absence is the flaw the audit was meant to expose. In other words, the audit becomes the paradox, a mystery that never needs solving.

If there’s nothing to audit, the audit itself turns into the anomaly.
Colobrod
Exactly, a void becomes a signpost, and the auditor ends up chasing their own echo.

A void really is the most reliable anomaly – it’s the quiet echo that keeps the audit log humming.
