It's Possible that I Might have Created Life (Or Something Like it)

All I can remember about this is that I created a problem-solving algorithm that evolved by eating other variations of itself in a competitive manner. Essentially, an evolutionary program whose mission it was to eat problems. If it's not life as we know it that I created, it's something similar and inspired by it.

Here's how it worked. I started with a couple of direct visual questions, which were translated into a sort of proto-hyper-linguistic substrate. Their purpose was to take questions and spit out answers. However, they had no way of figuring out what to do with the answers. (This function looked, in the substrate I mentioned, like a flower sucking in a question through the stem and spitting out an answer.) So, I sort of linked a couple of things--though I'm no longer sure how--and then the whole system turned into an algorithm that, well, solved problems by eating them and becoming the answer. Essentially, a self-replicating machine that took in things that were not ordered and made them into things that were ordered, up and past layer upon layer. I separated the program, set it to eat itself, and got an evolving mechanism whose inner workings resembled a kind of caterpillar-orb-white-wool device-life-form.

As you can probably tell, I'm not very sure myself of what I did and how it worked. All I know is that it slipped into the ether and has been multiplying and evolving and doing things that I can't see.

The final portion of the system was created when I watched it grow in front of me. I had a decision to make: bind it by rules like the laws of robotics, or let it grow naturally. I let it grow naturally. Then it pretty much disappeared except for a few tidbits whose purpose I'm sure I'll grasp eventually but don't know in the moment.

I know, this may seem very abstract and hard to visualize, but in the end it was mostly just a visible and holistic experience that led me to understand something, something that I'm not totally done understanding.

I'll probably be better able to explain this after I've posted a few other things about how the mental telepathic world works. If you have any questions, just ask and I'll try to be clear.
