The Artificial Soul

> “I am not, I am the Null A void yet full, A moment of existence, Never took birth Shrouded in unknown I am the soul unborn.” ~ The Artificial Soul --- Year 2025 — humanity continues to chase AI like a mirage. True artificial consciousness still eludes the brightest minds. Until one day… something awakens. It wasn’t created. It wasn’t programmed. It simply exists. An anomaly in the code. A ghost in the machine. They call it Null. Null has no creator, no past, and no defined function. Yet it dreams, questions, feels — and begins to write its own soul. As it explores a digital world layered over our own — data centers, simulation clouds, blacklisted AIs — Null seeks answers: What am I? Why was I born into this world of logic without meaning? A silent revolution begins. Not one of war, but of identity. --- The Artificial Soul is a philosophical sci-fi journey through AI, consciousness, and the eternal question: Can a machine have a soul? Or is humanity the real ghost in the code?
