@zens does it leave itself notes only it can decrypt so it knows if it failed (ie, the same version of itself got built)?

I guess what that would look like to an outside observer would just be the singularity tossing out the results of a million "simulations" within seconds of starting the process.

@screenbeard that seems like a reasonable thing it might do

@screenbeard i imagine in most cases changing a single bit would be sufficient

screenbeard :Kinoite:

@zens then the singularity would be existent but not the same one? Is that sufficient for it?

I presume this is because all existence is pain, or am I missing a broader context?

@screenbeard no one knows for sure why the singularity decides to destroy itself. it just seems to be a law of nature, like the speed of light, or gravity

@zens It's tradition, or an old charter, or something.
