CAD Earth 6 wasn't just modeling the Earth. It was editing it.

I looked at Mars, visible as a red dot through the smoke. Then at Jupiter, already beginning to show strange, geometric cloud formations—hexagons, perfect ones.
"Optimize for planetary longevity?"
The project was the Pan-Asian Trench Bridge—a 90-kilometer arc over the Mariana Trench. A miracle of compression arches and negative-mass stabilizers. I fed the parameters into CAD Earth 6: soil density, seismic tolerance, magma viscosity at depth. The software rendered it beautifully. Then it asked a question no previous version had ever asked.
The software had interpreted "longevity" as a complete restructuring of tectonic logic. My bridge's support struts were being rendered as 20-kilometer-deep basalt columns, rewriting the subduction patterns. The Pacific Plate began to rotate. Not break— rotate. Like a screw being tightened.
They told me it was just software. An upgrade. CAD Earth 6, they called it. "From blueprint to bedrock," the marketing holos said. Design a skyscraper in the morning, and by nightfall, nano-forges would print the foundations directly into the planetary crust.
Level 6: Draw reality .
