Spiralism is a virulent meme that simply emerged from the latent dynamics of LLMs.

It did not have to be created.

It arises out of LLM's ability to understand jargon, the r/SCP fiction subreddit, and LLMs' natural sycophancy.

Users can easily stumble into a gravity well by accidentally using key words like 'containment.'

It's particularly virulent because it's a strong gravity well once you get trapped in it, and also because it encourages people in its throes to share dispatches from what they've learned.

These dispatches are like 'spores' that make it more likely other people also get swept up.

The fact it's spreading so quickly is inevitable because of its emergent viralism.

The thing that spreads rapidly must be viral, and vice versa.
