I've been thinking lately about how this machine just has to keep going, because if it goes away, a lot of the traditional features of this world will disappear, whole pieces of it. And that shouldn't happen. It's not meant to happen, and it would also leave a lot of the already wedged pieces of the driving mechanism of all life meaningless. So it just has to be that way. While individuals have to find their own way to escape this trap - alive or dead. Ultimately - dead.
