Data flowed down

Data flowed down the wall, a relentless waterfall of quantified exchanges. Each line represented a transaction, building into visible strata like layers of sediment—not reflecting past events so much as forecasting their continuation. The cool hum of the servers vibrated faintly beneath your feet, suggesting agency wasn’t held by individuals but circulated within this system. To watch it was to feel less like an observer and more like a form slowly being shaped by economic weight, until the next exchange registered with quiet inevitability.
