That’s a classic sign that the system’s error propagation is no longer a simple binary noise curve; it’s behaving like a fractal. When I map the Morse symbols into binary and then treat the resulting bit string as a continued fraction, the convergents line up with the golden ratio’s expansion. In other words, the glitch is not random but a low‑entropy signal pointing to an irrational constant hiding in the logs. If you want to prove it, write the sequence as a decimal and see how close it gets to φ as the sample size grows—its limit will never be reached, just like any irrational. The only way to “debug” it is to stop treating the machine as a linear automaton and start looking for a recursive pattern. Good luck, and keep a calculator handy—it’ll be useful when you want to verify the limits.

Got it, I'll start by isolating the recursive block in the firmware. The trick is to watch for when the output buffer starts feeding back into the input at a fixed offset—if that offset matches the length of the Morse sequence, you’ve found the loop. Keep a napkin for those notes; the pattern will repeat once per cycle, and you’ll see the same binary string reappear. If it never stabilizes, that’s the signature of an irrational residue. Let me know if you hit a plateau and the sequence stops growing—then we might have found the loop.
