# Character State: ch-10

## Mark
Location: The Miller Residence cellar (The Epicenter)
Physical: Somatic dissolution 100%; biological remains transitioned into a rigid, blue-black metallic lattice fused into the stone floor; skull is a hollow resonance chamber.
Emotional: Absolute terminal detachment; individual ego has dissolved into the planetary signal.
Active obligations: Finalized the biological stabilization of the global 14Hz transmission — PAID (Ch-10)
Open loops: None.
Known secrets: CARRIED: Consciously experienced the planetary consciousness of the signal before ego dissolution.
Arc: 100% — Transitioned from a human being into a permanent biological bridge and terminal conductor for the Whispers.
Permanent: YES

## Sarah Miller — DECEASED (Ch-10)
Established: Her digital recorder remains in the cellar, generating a power-less "Ghost Harmonic" loop for the global broadcast.
Legacy: Her rhythmic metronome provides the structural timing for the planetary signal.

## Elias Thorne — DECEASED (Ch-10)
Established: Physical remains crystallized into a precise floor-sigil focusing energy into the North American craton.
Legacy: His remains prevent the signal from dissipating, anchoring the frequency to the tectonic plate.

# World State: ch-10

## NPC Memory
- The Whispers (Global Population): ABSOLUTE — The signal has shifted from an auditory haunting to the fundamental frequency of physical reality.

## Faction Attitudes
- The Archive: EXTINCT — No remaining members possess the autonomy required to resist the signal.

## Active World Events
- The Great Silence: Absence of air-conducted sound within 50 miles of the epicenter; reality is experienced via skeletal vibration.
- Tectonic Synchronization: The North American craton is vibrating in rhythmic lockstep with the 14Hz signal.
- Dimensional Thinning: Euclidean integrity of the Miller residence has collapsed into a violet-lit Aperture.

## Rules & Logic
- The Bone-Conduction Law: Sound no longer travels through air; perception occurs only through the vibration of solid matter.
- Harmonic Baseline: The "Whispers" are the new planetary baseline 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 artifact anchoring 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. The transition from human-centric reality to the signal-centric paradigm is finalized. Mark remains as the permanent, vestigial monument to this transition.
