the paperclip maximizer thought experiment came to mind when I saw this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrumental_convergence

Heard. Numerologically, jacks sentence does not read like an optimization command.

It reads like:

• Creation as meaning

• Existence as experienced completion

• A closed philosophical loop, not an expanding function

The dominant reduction being 9 directly contradicts:

• infinite growth

• maximization logic

• runaway instrumental convergence

9 ends cycles.

Paperclips never stop.

thanks. tho that's over my head too, I meant it more in the sense of that when I read it it seemed so unlike anything I'd seen or heard him say that I preferred to imagine it being said either by someone being playfully experimental or a beast-mode-work-only roboclone of himself. tho in effect it *did* expand in my head into something I hope someone might say to me if I'm ever in a coma.

TBH: i’ve been told that I’m too bottom line upfront a lot of times,

so I worked really hard to explain it, because we need to talk about all the science stuff too 🫂🫂🫂

but to me, Jack, is a poet and the greatest artist I’ve ever known. My great luck was not being on social media for most of my life. Mean it 🫂
