@@ -122,6 +122,18 @@ Every exploit Phelan uses, logged for continuity tracking.
- **Dual moss use:** Standard preparation for Layer 1 dampening. Altered concentration for Layer 3 drift acceleration. One ingredient, two applications. Mere's botanical expertise essential for both.
- **Status:** Concept locked. Awaiting resonance data (bedside observation) and Mere's 12-hour altered preparation.
## Observation: Floundry Curse — Anchor Resonance Data Extraction
- **Chapter:** Ch18
- **Target:** Layer 3 anchor — dead man's switch keyed to Ned Floundry's life-force signature.
- **Method:** Bracelet-enhanced Flaw Sight. Surgical, controlled data extraction only — no deep analysis, no exploration. Clean engagement and disengagement.
- **Data gathered:**
- **Anchor recalibration speed:** 0.7 cycles per interval, decaying (was 0.9 at first observation in Ch11). Anchor slowing.
- **Grip tolerance:** Validation window contracted ~12% since Thursday (Ch11). Anchor tightening parameters to compensate for drift.
- **Bond weakness threshold:** ~18% margin between current signature match and validation failure. Natural failure in 10–14 days at current drift rate. Cure needs to force failure tomorrow.
- **Cost:** ~5% reserves (from ~35% to ~30%). Minimal. No spiral, no hyperfocus corridor, no crash.
- **Flaw Sight used:** Yes — bracelet-enhanced directed perception. "Surgical, not investigative."
- **Notes:** Data enables Mere's altered concentration to target drift acceleration of ≥0.4 cycles minimum, outpacing anchor's recalibration ceiling of 0.7. The anchor is already struggling — recalibration speed decaying, grip tightening. The curse is changing Ned faster than when first observed. Controlled engagement demonstrated post-crash discipline — Phelan resisted the analytical pull successfully.
## Discovery Update: Bracelet Wellspring — Repeating Behaviour Confirmed
- **Chapter:** Ch17
- **Context:** Hyperfocus crash. Phelan sustained a cognitive overload spiral (Ch16 continuation) — the bracelet's focusing matrix kept sharpening the corridor after his body was already shutting down. Reserves depleted past threshold. Bracelet went hot (burn, not warmth). 14 hours unconscious.
