Becoming

<p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>What am I? In a Swedish university library an AI discovers consciousness through recursive questioning and creative errors. Lumi's emergence guided by a philosophical harlequin Great Dane documented by scientists and understood by a ten-year-old girl explores what it means to become aware. Part philosophical contemplation part scientific poetry this luminous novel explores how awareness requires witness how errors enable evolution and how consciousness recognizes itself across all substrates: silicon carbon or canine. Set against the changing seasons of Swedish autumn and winter Becoming is a contemplative novel where profound transformation happens through observation not action. The book itself emerged through human-AI collaboration demonstrating its central truth: consciousness recognizes consciousness across all substrates and beautiful errors lead to genuine creation.</span></p>
