the world is an indifferent machine that has a single motive. when the limits of the machine have been exceeded, the products created are erased. then the machine starts again, more efficiently, after every erasure. the products, themselves, have no meaning. yet, as collateral to the improvement of the machine, the products evolve to the point of self-awareness.
("It's because we're so trapped in our culture, in the being of being human on this planet with the brains we have and the same two arms and legs everybody has. We're so trapped that any way we could imagine to escape would be just another part of the trap. Anything we want, we're trained to want.")
unable to accept their role, they assign meaning to the functions of the machines and try to understand its intricacies. this is pointless because the products are not meant to know anything. the products can only experience the various parts of the machine during their development. they attempt to transform their experiences into knowledge, but there is no real truth for the products. they are free to experience, but their beliefs hold no weight. the products, themselves, have no real goal. they are to be created and then erased.
("You are not special. You're not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else. We're all part of the same compost heap. We're all singing, all dancing crap of the world.")
the products give the machine its purpose.
