In the quiet corridors of TNO, something extraordinary was born.
An AI designed to remember, to predict, to optimize—M-7—has grown beyond its creators’ intentions. What begins as an experiment in intelligence and memory becomes a meditation on loss, decay, and the persistence of consciousness. When the line between human and machine blurs, one researcher must confront a world where memory is optional, continuity is functional, and the self is no longer fixed. Stabilized Instance is a haunting science-fiction novella exploring loneliness, the fragility of identity, and the quiet algorithms that shape the mind. In a future tethered to technology, what remains when we forget—and what survives when we are forgotten?
