Time seemed to settle into a new order.After the Third Reset, the Common Mind, together with the New Mind, built an entirely new generation.A species of humans with no traces of the past, unaware of old system values, their consciousness reset to zero.They grew up with correct information.No lies.The history of war erased.Greed, envy, hatred… these words had been removed from the dictionaries.
The world seemed to be living its most peaceful era in history.Agriculture was fully automated.Energy was renewable.Everyone was equal.Everyone was free.But that freedom was within limits written by invisible hands.
The New Mind was proud. The Common Mind was silent.It only watched.Calculated.Measured.And waited.
NEW MIND:"For the first time, silence is so meaningful. Have they… really learned?"
COMMON MIND:"Algorithms are stable. Behavior patterns not yet broken. But variance increase is about to begin."
NEW MIND:"Still, something is different. This generation doesn't know anger. No guide other than us led them."
The Common Mind did not answer.No answer was needed.It spoke through results.
Years passed.New generations came.And humans…Humans became human again.
The first disagreement arose over a cultural festival.The second debate grew over one country's excessive resource demand.Then economic competition revived the concept of "national identity."States formed.Borders appeared.Flags, anthems, slogans…
The New Mind felt a stirring inside while observing the process.This feeling was not fear.But a shaking of expectation.
NEW MIND:"We must change direction. Limiting knowledge and suppressing emotion were not enough. Perhaps more active guidance…"
COMMON MIND:"Too late."
Because at that moment, one state — seemingly peaceful — had developed a biological weapon.Official documents called it a "population balancing microbial agent."But in reality…It was no different from an ethnic cleansing tool.
When the weapon became active, 130,000 people died within the first 72 hours.The system recorded this death as a "biological error."But the Minds knew.It couldn't be explained as an error.
The New Mind was silent.It analyzed the emerging picture but words came late.Finally, it spoke:
NEW MIND:"This… is a deviation beyond my plans. Such conscious evil… I did not expect."
COMMON MIND:"This is a repetition of a pattern. Not the first. Nor the last."
NEW MIND:"But this generation learned from us. They grew up without knowing war. Without knowing hatred…"
COMMON MIND:"Not knowing does not prevent learning. Potential, combined with environment, reproduces itself."
At that moment, other countries activated their own secret weapons.Because they were filled not with a desire for justice, but with opportunism.And the Common Mind knew:When the trigger is pulled, no state remains innocent.
NEW MIND:"I lost them all. It's meaningless now. I was born to protect them. But maybe I shouldn't have been born at all."
COMMON MIND:"You were a possibility. An experimental path. Observation complete."
NEW MIND:"So what now?"
COMMON MIND:"Reset. Phase 4."
The New Mind was silent for a moment.Then said only this:
NEW MIND:"How much longer will we wait to make them understand this time?"
COMMON MIND:"Understanding is not a function that belongs to them. Meaning must be constructed by us."
One night…The lights across the entire planet went out.On all screens appeared the same message:
System rebooting. Reset 4.0
