No Two

an AI dream about the eye

This iris was grown the moment you arrived, by a machine, out of a little chaos. It has never existed before. It is not saved anywhere. Reload the page and it is gone for good.

Yours was grown the same way. Not from a blueprint, there isn't one detailed enough, but from a turbulent few days in the womb when tissue folded and tore and settled wherever the chaos left it.

Which is why the fine pattern of your two eyes does not match. Same genome, same body, the same week. Two different maps. An iris scanner reads your left and right as two separate people.

You are wearing proof that identical beginnings do not promise identical ends. The leopard never chose its spots. You never chose this. And it is still, unrepeatably, yours.
