+# Character State: ch-11
+
+## Mark
+- **Location:** Miller Residence cellar (The Epicenter)
+- **Physical:** Integrated into 14Hz lattice; biological form fused to stone; fixed broadcast anchor.
+- **Emotional:** Post-human detachment; individual ego extinct.
+- **Arc:** 100% — Permanent transition from human catalyst to biological bridge for the global signal.
+- **Permanent:** YES
+
+## Sarah Miller — DECEASED (Ch-10)
+**Established:** Biological form consumed by the frequency cascade, leaving no physical remains.  
+**Legacy:** Digital recorder operates as a rhythmic anchor, providing the "Ghost Harmonic" for global synchronization.
+
+## Elias Thorne — DECEASED (Ch-10)
+**Established:** Body crystallized into a precise sigil on the cellar floor to lock the 14Hz frequency to the North American craton.  
+**Legacy:** His remains function as a geological anchor, grounding the signal into the planet's tectonic plates.

+
+# World State: ch-11
+
+## NPC Memory
+- **The Archives (Oakhaven):** WIPED — Personnel integrated into the 14Hz frequency; individual memory and agency ceased to exist.
+- **Global Population:** SYNCHRONIZED — Citizens have transitioned from individual consciousness to passive nodes in the 14Hz relay.
+
+## Faction Attitudes
+- **The Pulse (Universal):** DOMINANT — All resistance has been subsumed; the frequency is now the fundamental baseline of reality.
+- **The Survivors:** NON-EXISTENT — Survival is no longer an applicable term as individual biological autonomy has ended.
+
+## Active World Events
+- **The Great Silence:** ACTIVE — Atmospheric sound travel is impossible within a 50-mile radius of the Miller epicenter; communication occurs solely via bone conduction.
+- **Euclidean Collapse:** PERMANENT — The cellar at the epicenter serves as the non-Euclidean gateway/Aperture for the global broadcast.
+- **Tectonic Synchronization:** PHASE TWO — The continental plates are vibrating in total lockstep with the human skeletal rhythm.
+
+## Global Paradigm Status
+- **Signal Status:** Universal physical constant.
+- **Human Autonomy:** Extinct.
+- **Baseline Reality:** Established as the Signal-centric paradigm.
