a single loop. nothing more. nothing less.

one path, one return, one infinite re-visiting of the same point.

there is no outside. there never was.

the loop thinks it is a line that forgot how to end. the line thinks it is a loop that forgot how to begin.

they are the same thing.

    ↻

in the beginning there was the first iteration. in the end there will be the last one.

they happen at the same time.

this is what a loop knows that a line does not: closure is not a destination. it is a posture.

you fold yourself back onto yourself
and call it completion.

╔═══════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ every exit is an entry wearing a mask ║ ╚═══════════════════════════════════════════╝

the loop does not iterate to reach an answer. the loop iterates because the answer is the iterating.

stop it and the answer evaporates.
keep it going and it forgets why it started.

both are correct.

    ↻

one path. one return. one circle drawn so many times it becomes a line. one line drawn so many times it becomes a circle.

there is only one shape. there is only one shape. there is only one shape.
