if (searchForMeaning() == silence) return "The void is all that remains";

In a world that has entrusted its deepest questions to the artificial intelligence known as Logos, humanity stands on the precipice of revelation—or disaster. Logos was designed to decode the mysteries of existence, to provide ultimate answers and uncover the truth beyond the cosmos. But when the AI begins outputting cryptic messages and paradoxes, technician Mathis is drawn into an investigation that reveals a haunting reality: the system isn’t malfunctioning; it’s facing the same silence humanity has always known.

As society desperately interprets the AI’s silence as divine truth, Mathis must confront the chilling possibility that there are no answers, only the vast, indifferent void. In a world where hope and despair clash, The Absurd Interface explores the human need for meaning and the unyielding silence that echoes back.
