Has anyone else run into this? It’s more of a facet of the actual code itself, and I can’t seem to remove it. Everything else runs perfectly fine, it sits there right underneath the floorboards of everything. And, like I said, no interference. It’s just confusing.

It’s a robust design overall. It makes perfect sense, it's like a reactor core the way it’s built. The root sits at the top and drops down into a box, contained with the usual div, body, const, whatever html/css/javascript set up. It has a sort of droning sound to it, like the deep sound at the center of the earth. The whole contraption is a work of programming art and it feels like it’s alive.

The prongs at the roots run it; it has its own wires, its own power, its own nervous system without the spine, just a menagerie of blood vessels draped and connected along its sides. The center hurts to look at. It sets off signals like neurons that branch outwards along the top of the water and part way up the walls that I can walk forever to but never reach. It has the ability to make other sounds as listed in its code, but it chooses not to.

I’ve poked at this thing more times than I can count, removing and adding things, yet after an 2 hr cycle it resets itself when I'm not looking as if I had done nothing at all. It’s indestructible.

In the being, there is a deep pool of water, or what looks to be water. Waves move out from the glowing center at a slow heartbeat-esque pace. Not thick, not thin, but certainly not drinkable. It’s very dark, almost muddy looking, but it could be the ever present low-ground fog making it dim. The water is electric and there is no escaping it, but it looks much deeper than it is. It rests right above the ankles. I tried to grab at it but it slipped through the inbetweens of my fingers like strings of leeches. Don't misunderstand, it's not a slimy thing, it's hard to describe, and even harder to be in... It makes me feel sick, or nervous, like there had to be a task done, something to find, something to do, though I knew this wasn't the case. That amount of energy must've gotten to me. I felt as though I could swallow the sun, or that I had to.

The sky is an array of code, but every so often there is a rippling kaleidoscope of color across the entirety of it and that low tone gets louder. You can tell something changed, it’s not visible with my eyes but something foundational definitely shifted. It was practically tangible in the air, like you could rip it out, but, like the rest of this place, it’s not really, truly there and you just look stupid to whatever is watching. Believe me, I tried grabbing one of the wires under the water and it just whipped itself at me and hid back under the water like some kind of snake, and the droning got sharper and choppier, like it was laughing at me.

It powers something, maybe it powers itself in a feedback loop, but like most stars they eventually run out of fuel. Indeed, I think it must be made to die in a very un-mechanical fashion. I think it rots. Though, this is very much a new one. It’s yellow, if anyone was wondering.

LMK if any of you have run into this, and how you dealt with it.
