Harmonic Drift
A technician observed the subject’s brain activity shift; theta waves flowed less like distinct pulses and more as interconnected ripples on water. Fine-tuning the equipment brought faint floral patterns into view across multiple channels—each echoing the gardener's earlier choices. These weren’t selections based on taste, but precise responses to imbalances within the network itself. The body seemed not to seek a fixed state, but rather find balance through constant adjustment, like light bisected by shifting planes of resistance and release. A quiet hum settled over the lab as the patterns stabilized.
