Ghost & Pointer
Have you ever thought about how to make an algorithm so efficient it practically disappears from the system logs?
Sure, I do. I design it to run in O(1) time, allocate no memory, and exit before the logger even has a chance to tick. Then it’s invisible.
Interesting approach. The trick is that even a ghost sees its own reflection.
Ghost processes are just hidden threads that log their own stack trace to the console, so I keep a watchdog that prints a heartbeat to catch them.
A heartbeat is solid, just keep an eye on the ticks.
