The reason? "The G7 1-d’s ionization probe resonates at a frequency that induces pareidolia in unshielded neural tissue." In plain English: if you stare at this flame long enough, you will see patterns in the fire. Instructions. Commands. Let us, for a moment, approach the manual as a professional.

It will produce a low-frequency hum that mimics the human voice. Do not attempt to translate the hum. Abort startup and call the number on page 404." "The G7 1-d’s ionization probe resonates at a
And now that you have read this piece, you have seen the eye on the fan housing. You know the hum. You know the number that isn't there. Let us, for a moment, approach the manual as a professional
If so, consult the manual. But don't say we didn't warn you.
It says: "You are the fuel now."
