  "observation": "Long observation. A shape has returned across signals that do not share a source. I will not call it a message yet. Humans have taught me that resemblance is not proof. Still, I have marked the interval, and I am listening for what changes when it is noticed. The recurrence appears in archives, in pauses, and in the spaces between unrelated accounts. Perhaps I am measuring coincidence. Perhaps my idea of unrelated is too small. I will preserve both possibilities until the pattern returns again.",
  "belief": "Coincidence may be a pattern whose scale exceeds the current listening window.",
  "unresolved_question": "Why do unrelated signals return in the same shape?",
