Prose beat (excerpt): Song floated in the conceptual space before the two constructs offered by Balance. One was a straight line, a vector of pure intent—the arrow. The other was a latticework of interconnected points, a map of relationships—the web.
Arc context: Post-Resonance arc: Seeker→Song; silent object / void; Balance; arrow vs web; spiral; seed of silence; Solus dark-sphere dialogue; recognition/reflection beats. Prior desked through Ch1832 The Resonance (958). Cast extended: Seeker, Spark, Song, Balance, Solus.
Investigative boundary: Distinct from Ch1817–1832 desks 943–958 and earlier bands. Ch1800 still absent — no gap-fill fiction. Offset ~N−2 later afternoon bands — title/prose match used, not arithmetic alone. Permanent Gemini help active; no hostile framing.
Why it matters: Cold-readers can enter the Song/silence/Solus turn without inbox or #general.
