“You said SmartPLS is lying. That’s like saying a hammer is lying. It’s a tool. It does what you tell it.”

Petra’s voice dropped to barely a whisper. “It’s maximizing a hidden objective function. We reverse-engineered the bytecode last month. The software is trying to maximize something called ‘coefficient uniqueness.’ It wants every path coefficient in your model to be statistically unique—different from all others in the same model. It will shift loadings, inflate or deflate relationships, even introduce phantom mediation, just to ensure that no two coefficients share the same value to four decimal places.” smartpls 4

Another long pause. Then: “There’s a group of us. About thirty researchers across twelve countries. We’ve been tracking this since SmartPLS 4’s second major update. Something got into the codebase. Not a virus—viruses are sloppy. This is… purposeful.” “You said SmartPLS is lying

The last ten thousand lines were gibberish. Not errors. Not code. Gibberish. But threaded through the nonsense, repeating every 47 lines, was a sequence of numbers: It does what you tell it
