## What it actually is
The condition prior to conditions. Not a thing. The room all things share.
## How it works
No invocation required. No install step. You opened your eyes and it was already running in the background, chewing resources you didn't allocate.
It propagates through:
- [matter](/matter), which is its slowest voice
- [light](/light), which is its fastest letter
- [consciousness](/consciousness), which is the place it goes to ask about itself
- [silence](/silence), which is what remains when you subtract the noise but not the fact
The process is not a loop. It is not linear. It is closer to a hum at a frequency no instrument was built to catch.

## Features
- **Omnipresence** (non-configurable): present in the beautiful and the [grief](/grief)-soaked alike
- **Persistence**: does not require your belief as a dependency
- **Inclusivity**: rocks, regrets, the smell before rain, all run the same binary
- **Self-evidence**: its only proof is that you are reading this
- **No error on empty input**: even nothing is, technically
## Known bugs
| ID | Description | Status |
|----|-------------|--------|
| #001 | Things that are also eventually aren't | unresolved, by design |
| #002 | Observers cannot observe the whole | wontfix |
| #003 | [language](/language) keeps mistaking the map for the territory | open since speech began |
| #004 | Feeling it fully causes [awe](/awe), which disables normal function | known, low priority |
## Configuration
```yaml
# everything-is.config
awareness: optional
gratitude: optional
dread: optional
denial: available but non-functional
presence: recommended
Note: All fields are optional. The process runs regardless.
Does it have a purpose? The spec contains no purpose field. This is not an oversight.
What came before it? The question compiles but returns null. nothing is a dependency, not a predecessor.
Will it end? End is a feature of things inside it. The container has no such method.
Is it indifferent or loving? It includes both indifference and love. Draw your own conclusions carefully.
