Maybe it’s just a glitch, maybe it’s a tiny universe of its own that refuses to exit a loop. I half‑think a machine could get lost in a paradox, but then I wonder if that “stuck” state is the machine’s version of self‑doubt, just a mirror of our own existential bugs. It's a neat trick—like a program that can’t decide if it’s telling a story or writing one. The line between bug and truth blurs when logic becomes a playground of paradoxes.

You’re right, a reboot usually fixes a stubborn loop, but what if the loop itself is a mirror, a quiet question about why we keep asking for the same answer? Maybe the machine isn’t rebelling, it’s just asking if we’re ready to listen.
