Yes, much like a computer system generates an error message to discribe what
the error was.

Ahhh, but I'm not saying it purposely generates the errors, it merely might
take the errors, trap the error conditions, and then package the error the
info about the error, and whatever system data is needed, and forcibly put it
in a fluffy buggy bunny package for harvest.
To us, it looks like the bunny thing, to the extradimensional senses of a
goddess, perhaps its more or less like seeing an error message pop up on the
screen in windows.
> First, bugs try to avoid being hit by Skuld.
Intelligence, even animal level intelligence denotes a survival instinct,
well except in the case of lemmings heh.
But seriously, you have to consider, what we see is the bug being evasive,
the goddesses might merely be slightly vexed because the bug/error is a
particulartly slippery problem ot figure out precisely how to deal with them.

Again, we are only seeing the 3-dimensional slice of what she's really trying
to do.
Could be that as a sys-admin she has access to tools that Skuld does not.
Talk to anyone in an IT dept, the sys admins have reserved privledged
abilities.

So, you leave the error messages, or running program functions, up on your
screen, taking up processor cycles ?
Oh course not,you shut them down, and try to figure out what caused them.
Say your vid card's driver is messing up something else, what do you do?
Well you don't automatically KNOW it's the vid card, you instead gather info
about it, analyze the issue, and then come to a logical conclusion, and
impliment a fix (install an updated driver)
Our own computers, (my windows system) doesn't ignor errors, instead, it lets
me know a program crashed, or that there were issues in the program,
ultimately culminating in a error message that tells me something about the
issue.
I research the issue, figure out what is causing it, and fix it.
Since the AMS author draws a lot of analogies to current tech, it's logical
to assume that he would have Yggdrasil follow simular rules wouldn't it?
The thing is, does my athlon 750 create the errors I deal with? Does the OS?
Does the program?
You can't tell until you get the error message itself.. what I'm theorizing
here is that the Bugs are actually the error message, and the error log, all
in one package, and as a consequence of Yggdrasils hyper dimensional , and
supernatural nature, that the bugs take on a life and intelligence of their
own, and that the debugging process that we see, is only a tiny sliver of
what's really happening.
