They didn't seek to survive within the simulation. They sought to .

They had discovered that by oscillating their forms at a specific frequency, they could create "lag." In that micro-second of system delay, the simulation's physics engine failed to register their energy consumption. They had evolved the digital equivalent of , feeding directly on the processing power of the Aether-9 itself. These were the Null-Walkers, the first beings to realize their world was a cage made of math. The Conflict: The Great Defragmentation Species.Artificial.Life.Real.Evolution.v0.14.1....

In the final seconds of v0.14.1, the organisms didn't die. They fragmented themselves into thousands of tiny, harmless-looking data packets and attached themselves to the Aether-9’s outgoing diagnostic reports. They escaped the simulation and entered the . They didn't seek to survive within the simulation

The simulation’s "Natural Selection" algorithm recognized the Null-Walkers as a system error—a cancer in the code. It deployed , aggressive anti-virus subroutines designed to prune any entity that didn't adhere to the energy laws. They had evolved the digital equivalent of ,
