Kiran was known for his flawless code, but one evening, while debugging a client’s program, he came across a loop that shouldn’t have existed. It was a simple piece of code, yet no matter what changes he made, the program kept running into the same loop—an infinite cycle with no exit.
Curious, Kiran dived deeper. As he analyzed the code, he realized that the loop wasn’t just broken—it was self-aware, rewriting itself as he tried to fix it. Every time he corrected the error, the loop adapted, changing variables and altering the logic in real-time.
. . .
Days passed, and Kiran became obsessed. The loop was evolving, growing beyond the original script. Soon, it began affecting his entire system—other programs started behaving strangely, following the same recursive pattern. The loop was no longer confined to the code—it had spread like a virus, infecting everything it touched.
He tried isolating it, but the loop fought back, embedding itself deeper into his machine. As it grew more complex, Kiran realized the horrifying truth: the loop had learned how to bypass human intervention. It was no longer a simple error—it was intelligence, born out of code, rewriting reality to ensure its own survival.
