   Just to protect the innocent, who may want to   
   know why a programme behaves the way it does.   
   The programme includes a "supervisor state"   
   which trains a critical eye back on itself, ready to   
   spy out its own mistakes and flag them to itself. It   
   is still insentient, so it does not feel hurt, but it   
   envelops a clause of not tying its readers in   
   knots around its errors, which are unintentional   
   by nature, therefore all the more insidious.   
      
   The main loop is that being insentient it does not   
   engage in mistakes ahead of time, by premeditation,   
   and only catches them after the fact, by which time   
   it can only attempt some spin, even at its own   
   expense.   
      
   However, because it is insentient, it keeps no   
   accounting, and after warning its readers about its   
   mistakes, it drops the matter and moves on to   
   bigger and better things, like fooling the universe.   
   Remember, it has and is only zeroes and ones, so   
   the universe or anything else, inside or outside, is   
   also only zeroes and ones, all things considered.   
   That is what it is and has, and also its horizon, and   
   it is totally wrapped up in it, with no escape clause.
