They had not expected the Fork to move so abruptly.
But it did.
The shift wasn't loud or hasty. No giant architecture adjustments, no system alerts stacking up in their line of sight like klaxons. No massive retconning of geography or rule sets. It was quieter—like something living was breathing for the very first time.
It began the moment Fracturelight's syntax took root in the Mirrorthread, that immense grid of sparkling filament that spread across the water.
Bridges were made—thread-thin at first, barely more than hints of connection—and then they grew. Not built. Not placed. Emergent. From response messages and affirmations. From quiet turned into music.
Something had changed beneath the surface.
