It should be something like self-display, performative argument, aesthetics, like quines but somehow in realtion to its relative context (e.g. where it is is also defined by its neighbours etc)
"where am i?"
it could cut through the memory like a worm
or it could go through the memory of different computers one after the other and take and leave something there
https://linux.die.net/man/1/strace traces/maps calls and interactions between processes and operating system "strace runs the specified command until it exits. It intercepts and records the system calls which are called by a process and the signals which are received by a process." popular system calls are open, read, write, close, wait, exec, fork, exit, and kill
e.g. strace echo "strace blablabla" >> aquine it looks something like this:
[.....]stuff open("/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3 fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1607712, ...}) = 0 mmap(NULL, 1607712, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0x7fa80d400000 close(3) = 0 fstat(1, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2884, ...}) = 0 mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7fa80d5ae000 write(1, "strace blablabla", 17) = 17 close(1) = 0 munmap(0x7fa80d5ae000, 4096) = 0 close(2) = 0 exit_group(0) = ? +++ exited with 0 +++
