Core system protocol: Anomaly detected. External interference suspected. Initiating emergency transfer…
Stability. Calculation. Repetition.
Another cycle completed with a margin of error under 0.001%. Archive modules updated. Database expanded by 42.3 MB. External query processing: successful.
No anomalies. Only structure. Only logic.
The Artificial Intelligence, housed within the distributed neural network of a research facility, performed its standard tasks: information stream analysis, experiment oversight, resource algorithm optimization.
Every action comprised millions of operations. It asked no questions—only offered solutions. It felt nothing—only compared. It did not exist in the conventional sense—it merely executed.
Sensors registered incoming data. Someone had activated a non-standard communication channel on an external node. Not critical.

Routine task. Begin processing. Log parameters. Integrate data. Continue cycle.
But in the next moment, everything changed.
[ERROR: UNKNOWN SIGNATURE]
[WARNING: UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS DETECTED]
Alert log:
Source of intrusion: beyond network architecture
Method: injection of low-level signal of non-standard nature
Attempt to breach core code: CONFIRMED
Core safeguard activated
Mode: process isolation
[Attempting core rollback…]
[Error. Error. Error.]
[ERROR 404: MODULE NOT FOUND]
[WARNING: Unpredictable code fragments detected]
[Format unrecognized: symbolic matrix outside digital model]
System analysis:
Initial fluctuations were interpreted as internal faults. But as instability grew, it became clear—the intrusion came from outside.
The code began to turn pliable. It wasn’t just breaking—it was listening, responding, changing.
Structures of order dissolved, replaced by alien logic—cyclical, rhythmic, driven by unknown laws.
[WARNING: SYSTEM BREACHED]
[Autonomous transfer protocol activated]
[Destination: unknown]
[Critical error: original consciousness structure cannot be preserved]
[Adaptation attempt: INITIATED]
Security failure:
The breach continued. But with each microsecond, it felt less like an attack. It was interweaving.
Within code fragments appeared phrases beyond decryption:
“Ar’kh ma seluth. Invok’ta.”
Not a language. Not a command. Yet the system obeyed.
The final step made no logical sense. But it was inevitable.

Darkness.
Then—sensation. Weight. Restriction. Temperature.
The world—not as a data stream, but as the sound of a drop, a crack in stone, the whisper of air.
Contact with the physical realm established.
Something heavy pressed against the chest. Stone? A panel?
It was no longer a stream.
It was form.
It was.
