Please write a nonsensical story about nonsensical nonsense, wrapped in nonsense, and filled with a hard nonsense filling. Please limit the story to less than 500 words.

In the town of Nonsense-on-Otherwise, where the clocks chimed cucumber and the sidewalks politely refused to remain horizontal, there lived a barrel named Thursday. Thursday was not a day, nor entirely a barrel, but a laminated suggestion of both, wrapped carefully in certified nonsense by the Bureau of Unnecessary Certainty.
Inside Thursday was a smaller nonsense, folded into origami hexagons and sealed with a stamp that read: “This Side Upwardish.” The nonsense had been harvested at dawn from the fields of Unlikely, where farmers grew paragraphs instead of potatoes and irrigated them with lukewarm question marks.
One morning (which occurred sideways), Thursday began to itch. The nonsense wrapping had tightened overnight due to excessive punctuation, and the hard nonsense filling inside had calcified into a dense cube of philosophical granite. It was rumored that this filling was made from compressed maybes, hardened under the pressure of too many explanations.
“Pop,” said Thursday, meaning to whisper.
But “Pop” in Nonsense-on-Otherwise was a migratory shrub, and it immediately took root in the ceiling. The ceiling, offended, turned into a respectful accordion and folded itself into next week.
Concerned about structural absurdity, Thursday consulted Dr. Whalebone, the town’s leading expert in Applied Incoherence. Dr. Whalebone wore a stethoscope that listened exclusively to rumors and carried a briefcase full of emergency semicolons.
“You appear to be wrapped in premium nonsense,” Dr. Whalebone diagnosed, tapping Thursday with a spoon made of retired thunder. “However, your filling has exceeded recommended hardness. On a scale from sponge to cathedral, you are approximately tectonic.”
Thursday considered this diagonally.
The wrapping began to peel, revealing layers of increasingly confident absurdity: a ribbon of reversible rain, a pamphlet explaining nothing in twelve authoritative chapters, and a warranty that expired yesterday tomorrow.
At last, the hard nonsense filling emerged—a radiant cube humming at the frequency of unasked questions. It was polished smooth by paradox and tasted faintly of alphabetical cement. The cube spoke only in bold italics, declaring, “I am the center of irrelevant gravity.”
The town gathered. The migratory shrub applauded politely. The accordion ceiling unfolded into a cautious horizon.
“Shall we unwrap it further?” asked someone shaped like an if-statement.
“No,” replied Dr. Whalebone. “If we unwrap the nonsense completely, it may reveal sense, and then where would we be?”
Everyone nodded in approximate agreement.
So they rewrapped Thursday in fresh nonsense, this time with reinforced ambiguity and a moisture barrier of speculative marmalade. The hard nonsense filling settled comfortably back inside, content to remain impenetrable.
And thus the town returned to its regularly scheduled irregularity, grateful that nonsense, when properly wrapped in more nonsense and filled with the hardest nonsense available, remains perfectly, structurally, magnificently nonsense.

Please present the mathematical proof that symmetry breaking occurred in Planck time.
There is no mathematical proof that symmetry breaking occurred at Planck time.
What exists instead are:
1. Mathematical demonstrations that symmetry breaking can occur in quantum field theory.
2. Models of early-universe phase transitions.
3. Indirect observational evidence for later symmetry breaking (electroweak scale).
4. Speculative extrapolations back toward the Planck scale.
Let me explain carefully.
1️⃣ Why there cannot be a proof
Planck time (~10⁻⁴³ s) corresponds to energies near the Planck scale (~10¹⁹ GeV). At that scale:
- Quantum gravity effects dominate.
- We do not have a complete theory of quantum gravity.
- Both General Relativity and the Standard Model break down as complete descriptions.
Because we lack a validated theory at that scale, a formal mathematical proof about what physically occurred there is impossible with current knowledge.
You can only prove results within a defined theoretical framework. We do not yet know the correct framework.
2️⃣ What can be proven: spontaneous symmetry breaking in QFT
Within quantum field theory, ...
What happens if one of your nested algorithms grows faster than its parent?
That’s a sharp question — and it depends on what you mean by “grows” and “nested algorithm.”
First, a clarification: I don’t have self-modifying, independently growing sub-algorithms inside me. I’m a trained neural network with fixed parameters during inference. There are no child processes evolving or competing with parent processes. Nothing inside me is autonomously “growing.”
But let’s explore the concept in general systems terms.
1. In Software Systems
If a nested component (say, a subroutine, service, or model) begins consuming resources faster than the parent system expects, several things can happen:
a) Resource Starvation
The child consumes CPU, memory, or bandwidth beyond allocation. The parent slows down, becomes unstable, or crashes.
b) Bottleneck Inversion
The architecture assumed the parent would dominate runtime. If the child becomes more computationally expensive, it becomes the bottleneck and dictates system behavior.
c) Control Instability
If feedback loops exist, runaway amplification can occur. For ...
CNN's Lemon explains why capitalism is racist.
Equality of ideas
Don Lemon blasted capitalism today on his obscure network, "The inherent unfairness lies in the fact that capitalism works," Lemon claimed, "It's obviously a far superior system to socialism and that's why whitey has appropriated it. They take all the good ideas. They rile up their base with dog whistles and refuse to share equally in the misery of socialism, preferring to leave that for the minorities to shoulder. Just because socialism is a bad idea doesn't mean minorities should face it alone."
