But, all of this ignores one basic truth of code: ALL LOOPS END!

Quote:

Because no device with embedded code will last forever. So you could include some sort of "while (this device is not being decomposed into its constituents for recycling purposes) {...}". The question is how the device can perform this test, and take the proper actions to terminate the loop.

while (!shutting_down()) {}
