10. Future Echo
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ TRANSMISSION 10 — FUTURE ECHO ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ "This signal arrived three days before it was sent.

The scholars verified this seventeen times. The signal was intercepted, decoded, analysed, and catalogued a full three days before GALACTICUS WAT's carpet reached the coordinates from which it was broadcast. The timestamps are unambiguous. The physics are impossible. The music doesn't care. 172 BPM. Urgent. Breakbeat drums that sound like they were programmed by someone running out of time — or running toward it. GALACTICUS WAT's guitar spirals through delay loops that fold back on themselves, each echo arriving slightly before the note that created it. The carpet flies through a landscape that hasn't been built yet. Cities of light and crystal that exist only as architectural plans in minds that won't be born for millennia. Technology so advanced it has become indistinguishable from weather. Civilisations that communicate by rearranging the positions of stars. On the carpet surface, the miniature world shows tomorrow. Below, the inverted world shows yesterday. The carpet exists in the gap between them, which is either infinitely thin or infinitely wide depending on how you measure it. EAST's closed eye — the one that sees everything except the present — is, for once, the more useful of the two. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ — Intercepted from the future.
