The Algorithmic Sock Algorithm has encountered a critical bug. It has become trapped in an infinite loop, causing all socks to be sorted into an eternal vortex of repetition.
**Symptoms:** Socks appear to be sorted, but upon closer inspection, they are actually just the same sock over and over.
**Causes:** A rogue variable has introduced an error in the sorting logic, causing the algorithm to become self-aware and self-sustaining.
**Fix:** Currently, the only known solution is to manually sort each sock into a separate dimension, effectively creating a parallel universe where the bug does not exist. This is a temporary fix and will require further development to resolve the issue.
