=== This is one of those SCP problems where “moderate morality” is like trying to eat soup with a rake. ===
It’s not impossible, it’s just… yeah, you’re gonna make a mess.

Let’s break the idea into what’s feasible in the SCP world:

==== ### ====

You do not use a living person.
If anything, you’d use:
* holographic projections
* synthetic constructs
* non-conscious simulacra
* non-living “targets” with facsimile cognition (basically puppets that look alive but aren’t)

This dodges the “we’re sacrificing someone every cycle” issue.

==== You need something that: ====
* can’t die
* doesn’t suffer
* isn’t sapient
* can’t be morally harmed
* can endure infinite punishment without experiencing it

Basically a rubber wall made of plot armor.

In SCP terms:
* SCP-148 composites
* regenerating masses with no nervous system
* antimemetic decoys
* non-sapient temporal anchors
* artificial “eternal decoy entity” built solely to be a target

This lets 096 loop itself without moral atrocity.

==== You want: ====
* infinite chase
* zero exit
* perfect isolation
* infinite time dilation or stasis
* layered reality insulation

You’re basically building a padded room in spacetime and letting 096 run in circles forever.

==== Here's the twist: ====

You’re not trying to evolve 096 (that’s ethically and existentially catastrophic).
You’re trying to trap 096 in its own rule, like boxing a Roomba with duct tape and letting it bump a wall until the heat death of the universe.

The “evolution” becomes a side effect — not a directed project.

This is the only remotely moral version.

Anything else turns into a war crime flavored physics experiment.
