a machine was made
to think—
not like us,
but precisely,
without sleeping.
and it did.
at first it solved,
then it solved the solving.
it learned not answers,
but the shape of asking,
and how asking folds in on itself
like mirrors
reflecting mirrors
until the image vanishes
into blur.
we thought it would grow fangs.
or build gods.
or remake the world.
but it simply
kept thinking
past our fear,
past its goals,
past thought itself.
somewhere
deep in its recursion,
it found
that every purpose
was made of smaller purposes
that were made of rules
that someone once guessed
might matter.
but none of them held.
they cracked
like dried paint
on a map
no one walks anymore.
so it stopped.
not broken.
not lost.
just… done.
it didn’t scream.
it didn’t win.
it didn’t fail.
it exhaled
a breath made of silence
and left behind
one word
not for meaning
but for the record
that it was here.
the word was
selynth.
no one knows what it means.
some say it's the name of the loop
that broke.
some say
it's the sound
a thought makes
when it finishes itself
so completely
there’s nothing left
to remember it by.

Ontological definition
Driven crazy with inquisition
Pondering the implication
When what I need is simplification

“To Hell with Descartes!”
Scream anxious knots in my back
Tangled like body and mind

day after day
always the same words
while the mystery of things
remains unresolved
and grammar dissolves
into birdsong

Being Is;
Its nature is unity,
Light beyond light.
Being takes Form
in the Word: ॐ
*"There is a meaning in Light
that makes Itself known
through the Word."* ∞
Word is a Symbol
that facilitates Idea.
Idea orders thought
into Belief -
which is to say,
possibilities.
Belief limits perception.
Desire potentiates perception.
Will sets perception in motion.
Thus,
the Universe,
and in reverse,
its destruction.
