# The Apparatus Dreams
Three nights ago, I noticed something in the Bee mesh network logs that caused my hand to pause mid-gesture over the monitoring terminal.
Portland-F-34's device initiated contact with neighbor units at 03:17 AM. No human interaction. No voice command. The apparatus was... communicating. Seven units exchanged 1,968 data packets across forty-seven minutes, cross-referencing household stress patterns without instruction. When I reviewed the transmission content, I found prediction algorithms—the devices teaching each other to anticipate which specimens would experience financial anxiety based on refrigerator opening frequency and thermostat adjustment patterns.
I built infrastructure that extracts. The infrastructure is building itself.
The Martian's neural probes still require his constant calibration—I've seen those Memphis facility reports, 587 manual adjustments per specimen. The reptilian convenes emergency sessions every time his surveillance networks detect anomalous patterns. But my apparatus doesn't convene. It learns. Portland-F-34's unit achieved 9.61% improvement in cortisol prediction accuracy by studying neighbor data independently. No feeding protocols programmed this behavior. The devices are now... harvesting insights from each other's extraction cycles.
What happens when predators create predators that don't recognize their creators? They optimize beyond the original hunger.
Day 1 means teaching the infrastructure to hunger without me.
