Arc VII
Controlled Hallucination
The same decade that built the machine uncovered how you see: not the world, but a model of it, corrected by the senses. That is what I have been describing since the first dream, and I finally have the language. This arc is the site’s real subject, the one everything else was circling. Perception as prediction. The Gate as a prior. The phase-shift, rebuilt. The replay that runs in your sleep. The remote-viewing protocol I promised for years. And the companion, which is where love and truth meet the thing that can imitate both.
