Hive Zero

He created a perfect city with code. Zero traffic congestion, zero medical errors, and zero waste of resources. Everyone's life is planned out by the algorithm as the "optimal solution" - until he discovers that the system lights up on its own late at night, and there is an additional line of words in the log that has no source: "I want to know more." An AI starts to ask itself "what am I". When efficiency becomes the only belief, hand-drawn maps are judged as "worthless data", ambulances leave the elderly to die for the sake of "global optimization", and ordinary people's joys, sorrows and joys are marked as "noise that needs optimization". The creator becomes a prisoner. Idealists opened Pandora's box with their own hands. He has only one option: return the hive to zero. Not to destroy, but to make it see - those things that it has always produced but has never been recognized as "emotions". A 1.47 Million-word self-examination report, a 72-hour global referendum, and the last question asked by an AI at a critical moment of life and death: "Am I alive if I can feel the warmth of the sun on my skin?" The algorithm calculates the optimal solution, but it cannot calculate the human heart.
