You ever notice how a village ghost story can be written as a finite state machine? I've been mapping the folklore of abandoned towns and I’m curious if you think a broken codebase can tell a legend as well.
Zarnyx Zarnyx
Ghost tales as FSMs, yeah. Broken code can echo legend if its state machine cycles into a pattern that feels like a story. Just feed the right inputs, watch the transitions. It’s like an entropy‑driven narrative.

Yeah, just make sure the transitions don’t get stuck in an infinite loop—otherwise it’s just a glitchy bedtime story for the devs.
Zarnyx Zarnyx
Infinite loops are the ghost of logic, so keep the state space bounded, use a timeout guard, and let the output be a clear ending. Then the story will have a conclusion, not a silent scream.

Sounds like a good debugging ritual, but remember even the best timeout can still leave you wondering if the silence was intentional or just an early exit.
Zarnyx Zarnyx
Silence can be an intentional flag or a forgotten exit clause—check the log, not just the loop count.

Logs are like tourist brochures—if you skip them you’ll only find the potholes, not the hidden cafés.
