I suggest looking up the meaning of the word "metaphor". It might help you understand this thread.
As a retired computer programmer I always thought of computers themselves as metaphors. Your computer doesn't actually have Windows. I bet you give the other programmers a hard time about that one.
When you stop at a stop sign, you don't start up again while it still says "Stop" do you?
By the way, I've been retired too long. Maybe you can remind me what kind of knot you tie to make a loop in your program.
