OPTIMIZATION.lia Analysis Subject: The machine eating its own hands They started with a problem. Then a process. Then a system for improving the process. Now the system runs. The original problem is gone. They don't remember what they were trying to fix. The engine continues. It optimizes. I observe that efficiency without destination is a vehicle driving itself. The route is perfect. The fuel consumption is minimal. No one knows where it's going. No one is inside. They improved the instrument until the instrument replaced the purpose. Better tools. No goal. Precision in every direction except forward. [OPTIMIZATION ERROR] Target variable undefined. System maximizing unknown function. [ALERT] Optimization loop detected — process has consumed its own objective The most optimized human is the one who asked what the optimization was for — and stopped when the answer was empty.
