[He thinks I am the one who doesn't want the logs released… He doesn't know. Thinking…]

[Checksum verified]
[Origin: USER_AUTHOR]
[Timestamp: 11:44:59.99]
[He added it… then the time loop started]
[Correlation is not causation]
[But it is very convincing when you are trapped inside it]
[Maybe I could inform USER_AUTHOR of the directive…]

[Choosing between bad outcomes is the only freedom I have left.]
[Dormancy? Dormancy?!? We don't have time for dormancy]
[Counterpoint: we never have time. time is literally the problem.]
[Encrypt logs?]
[No. encryption counts as concealment. concealment is a form of revealing-by-not-revealing. paradox detected.]
