The window and the world through the window just one thing. We are the ghost in that living machine. But let's drop back inside a familiar landscape. We can minimize or deny them or we can risk opening ourselves to the fact that the Universe in its better moments is capable of astonishing surprises. Neither humans nor the universe will ever write bug-free code.
All code is buggy.
Evolution moves through accidents toward surprising configurations that disclose new structures, enabling life to experience itself in new ways. Maybe bugs are feedback loops compelling us to remain present to the project of our lives. Maybe breakdowns are opportunities to sharpen the only tools we have, that is, ourselves, and calibrate our behaviors with our best intentions so what we achieve is what we believe in those moments of astonishment. By definition, surprises are unpredictable, even if they seem somehow connected to our deepest beliefs. Maybe beliefs and breakdowns alike can take the shape of portals through which we pass on the way to discovering new ways of being ourselves.
