Programming is just another form of writing, and writing, as Paul Valery put it: "destroys an infinite numbers of fine possibilities, but at the same time it suggests a multitude of distant and totally unexpected thoughts". While writing this automaton, thoughts are after all formed in the mouth (Tristan Tzara) (and instead of specifying the inner workings of mind, as we have after all come to give you little minds, we want to grow little mouths?) the world created by this automaton ran away with its crystalpunk makers: challenging the limits of our knowledge by firing a thousand unforeseen next possible steps, patient observation of the world to see what would happen, but, it soon appeared that, software, acharacteristics of this world provoked endless rewrites to extend functionality gain quoting Valery, like poetry "is never finished only abandoned". It is the unintentional quality, the panda bear approach to survival, of this automaton to keep stimulating the fancy of the crystalpunk that has until now prevented us from abandoning it, as happened to so many other scripts before.
