She showed him "files" that looked like DNA strands, explaining that the RAR contained a recursive algorithm—a Mobius strip of logic—that could solve complex tactical simulations in seconds by "looping" time until a victory was achieved. Every choice he made in the simulation was

As he reached the final stage of the program, Mobius smiled. "The loop is complete. You can delete the RAR now, Ren. But you’ll find that even if the file is gone, the path is already set."
