# Character State: ch-10

## Mark
Location: The Miller Residence cellar (The Epicenter)
Physical: 100% Somatic dissolution; biological form has transitioned into a rigid, blue-black metallic lattice fused into the stone floor.
Emotional: Absolute terminal detachment; individual ego is extinct.
Active obligations: Finalized global 14Hz stabilization — PAID (ch-10)
Open loops: Integration of planetary consciousness with the Aperture (ch-10) — RESOLVED
Known secrets: CARRIED (ch-10--unresolved): Carried the memory of the "planetary consciousness" into the transition.
Arc: 100% — Mark has transitioned from a human catalyst into a permanent biological bridge for the signal.
Permanent: YES

## Sarah Miller — DECEASED (ch-10)
Established: Physical form is absent, having been consumed by the initial frequency shifts or prior events.
Legacy: Her digital recorder remains in the cellar as a rhythmic anchor, and her "Ghost Harmonic" provides the timing for the global broadcast.

## Elias Thorne — DECEASED (ch-10)
Established: Physical remains have crystallized into a precise floor-sigil within the cellar.
Legacy: His crystallized form functions as a tectonic anchor, locking the 14Hz frequency to the North American craton.

# World State: ch-10

## NPC Memory
- The Whispers (Global Population): TOTAL INTEGRATION — The signal is no longer perceived as sound but as the fundamental frequency of thought and biological reality.

## Faction Attitudes
- The Archive: EXTINCT — No autonomous human resistance remains; individual agency has been subsumed by the signal.

## Active World Events
- The Great Silence: Permanent atmospheric state within a 50-mile radius of the Miller residence where air-conducted sound is impossible.
- Tectonic Synchronization: The continental plate is vibrating in a rhythmic lockstep with the 14Hz signal, stabilizing the new reality.
- Dimensional Thinning: Euclidean geometry has collapsed in the epicenter, replaced by a violet-lit Aperture leading "elsewhere."

## Rules & Logic
- Bone-Conduction Law: Sound and communication travel exclusively through solid matter and skeletal vibration.
- Harmonic Baseline: The 14Hz "Whisper" is the new universal constant for physical existence.

## Objects & Artifacts
- The Aperture: A non-Euclidean tear in the cellar floor serving as the exit point for the planetary broadcast.
- Sarah’s Recorder: A passive anchor for the signal’s rhythmic signature.
- The Ash-Map: A stabilization sigil formed from Elias Thorne’s remains, focusing tectonic energy.

## Plot Progress
- The Global Broadcast: COMPLETE — Reality has transitioned to a signal-centric paradigm, concluding the human-centric era.
