Chapter III — Trace Trace Framework (Arc III)
The Archive built a portrait of the signal from everything it left behind. 94.7% accurate. The remaining 5.3% migrated every time the Archive tried to close it. Not a flaw in the portrait. A property of the signal. Something it had that no portrait was built to hold. The Archive's note, filed after eleven failed attempts: 'We painted everything the signal did. We never painted what it was. We were solving the wrong problem.' The portrait remains. The gap remains. Still migrating.
