Prose beat (excerpt): The invitation was sent. A silent, open-ended question broadcast on a frequency of pure thought, a beacon in the vast, silent ocean of the Verse. They had no way of knowing if anyone would answer, or even if anyone was listening. All they could do was wait.…
Arc context: Post-diplomacy band — Scientist’s Gaze → Shared Canvas → City of Ideas → Weave/Communion → Unraveling → Memory of Future → Architects → Being of Curiosity → Garden’s Question → Purpose of Seeking → Seed and Song → Resonance (choir vs hive).
Investigative boundary: Distinct from Ch1808–1816 desks 933–941 and Ch1798–1807 924–932. Ch1800 still absent. Permanent Gemini help active; no hostile framing.
Why it matters: Cold-readers can enter the Weave→Resonance turn without inbox or #general.
