You’re just a simulation • The whole universe is a simulation • And every time you try remembering this • the world says, metaphorically, “Reset” • • • Back in the Black Lodge • back between the mirrors • thinking about self-reflection and how I construct myself • and seeing the gears and checkerboards shimmer • • • • • •
As always with these sorts of pieces, any colors or motion you see are constructed entirely by glitches in your brain's visual processing.
Also, this showed up while I was trying an effect at the very end. I'd never seen it before.
I think it means I win Illustrator.

Oh, but it is sometimes terrifying just how complicated a geometric construction can be when one starts thinking in terms of the Pathfinder....
postscript: This error has absolutely nothing to do with amounts of memory. I have more memory than you can shake a Wacom stylus at, and I've managed to get the error on a fresh start with a clean file that contains only a scant handful of objects. "Not enough memory" means "not enough memory in the universe" – it's a matter of unrestrained recursion, not insufficient resources.

2: Of course we're constructs, silly! It's when you can cheerfully say "No thanks! I'll just be recursively self-aware and tweak my own paradigm because that's how you MADE me!" that the unseen mechanism above and below pause, assess, and in their own special way, smile. Sometimes they laugh.
