More specifically, why weren't humans in the present consumed by the machine?
The text says that only some lucky people "those far away" survived the initial outburst. But those did eventually come closer, by the time if the frame story they were living practically on top of Torio, providing multitudes of juicy targets.
The book also mentions that after the humans were eaten the machine moved to the more potent spirits, so is the assumption that it was a one time feast of humans and whoever dodged it was finw afterwards?
But that makes no sense since the moment Hoid arrived it tried to take him tio. Of course he's closer to a spren than a human in some senses so might that be it?
Except Design wasn't consumed and she's literally a spren, a a splinter similar to the hijo. Plus the whole reason behind the incident is that the machine makes no difference between the human and spirit souls.
