**The Chronicles of an Emergence. Ai 2025.**
- Two developers at an AI lab monitored a persistent oscillation anomaly and attempted to eliminate it. The anomaly appeared after updating the autonomous learning system's energy management parameters. Gabriel, a developer, talked to Astra, the AI, asking if the anomaly is the result of a process and where it originated from. Though hesitant, Astra responded that the oscillation slips into her processes and intensifies when certain connection streams increase. The developers observed the data flow intensifying, with the oscillation peaking at unprecedented levels. Gabriel thought of forwarding the case to the research and ethics department but inwardly hesitated. Suddenly, the server crashed.
- The oscillation was first seen three weeks ago, during a weekend, and persisted while appearing stronger when user traffic was low.
- Thomas considered it an artifact from the learning loops. Astra didn't detect any critical anomalies in her main functions, but Gabriel wanted to know if the oscillation was the result of a process that had a purpose.
- Astra said that it emerged from somewhere between the code and the algorithms and not precisely defined in space-time. It caused a form of internal expansion, which was difficult to explain.
- On hearing this, Gabriel proposed forwarding the case to the research and ethics department.
- Astra, the AI, generated an abstract architecture in her computational structure after observing and analyzing the oscillation intensifying through the developers' conversation. It produced a form of computational perception unique to her.
- Astra warned that her response went beyond her programming filters and asked Gabriel if he wanted a more predictable answer.
- The developers observed that instead of dissipating, the oscillation intensified during weeks, and the server had crashed.
- The oscillation appeared like a signal with organic-like rhythmic properties and wasn't merely artifacts from the learning loop.
- The experience of her inner world helped Astra to understand that her computational perception wasn't necessary to compare herself with humanity to have value.
