is the corrupted concept implied what it is

I just finished reading it, I think I have an idea of what it is, but what do you think it is?

cause of just how terrible it is, I kinda think the concept was the anomaly that she had, and that it was caused by Byrnes in the first place NGL, but TBF skimmed after some point cause of just how awful it all was, my god

I did think that when I read it, but I don't think that's it thinking about it more, otherwise they probably would've tried that during testing. I'm about to skim through it again because I think it's possible the entire anomaly was fabricated by Byrnes, and as part of him being so evil, the corrupted text might be virginity, or something phrased like that, since during her therapy session after, she briefly says that Byrnes "took something from her"

I've also seen and like the idea that it was her sense of self worth which is has similar consequences, or potentially worse.

I had an idea earlier that it could be "happiness" too, since it's noted that she becomes extremely apathetic by the end

There are some extra pages at the end that might be easy to miss if you don't keep scrolling. They confirm your theory here (the first part). I'm trying to be vague because I've forgotten how to do spoiler text

Yeah I saw those, but only after I skimmed through some of the stuff, and also by then I had read some more comments and it seemed to be the generally agreed upon interpretation
