Witness
A mass personal AI recorder. Witness recognizes permitted events and speech, signs semantic records, and sends them into Concordance; one record never establishes truth by itself.
SPECUS FICTION / WORLD & ARTIFACTS
01 — 04 / WORLD ARCHIVESPECUSFICTION
Instruments for realities that refuse to agree.
Enter the worldWitness and Parallax turn the central mechanics of Specus Fiction into physical artifacts. Their geometry belongs to a finite authored world of records, anchors, and conflicting states. Within this world, Canon is the infrastructure that reconciles testimony and maintains Active History.

01 / THE RITE OF NAMES
Everyone forgot. One person remembers.
After the Rite of Names, the sister is absent from shared history. The paired Parallax preserves a record that contradicts that history. For her brother, the absence becomes the beginning of a search.

02 / WITNESS
How an event becomes shared memory.
Passing a key is a private event. Witness devices preserve the participants’ records; Canon compares them with other testimony. A memory gains public weight, supporting promises and rights.
02 / P
Parallax
A precise paired instrument created for auditors and researchers of conflicting witness networks. The modified pair preserves incompatibility and can temporarily establish a shared physical field through Echo and Hold.
PHYSICAL INTERFACE / PIN FAMILY
One axis, three contact geometries.
The pin family shares an 8 mm axial body and the same assembly coordinate system. Leaf count changes the physical envelope; The design does not yet assign a procedure or authority level to a leaf count.

OPERATIONAL SEQUENCE
Observation becomes an addressable difference.
01
WITNESS
register a situated observation
02
INDEX
bind the record to a known target
03
ECHO
read an adjacent state without contact
04
HOLD
maintain two compatible physical states
03 / HOLD
The bridge is broken. Another record remembers it whole.
Echo reveals an adjacent state of a place. Hold briefly makes it physically available: a person can step onto a span absent from the current version of the bridge.
MOUNTING GEOMETRY
Four fastening axes define the Parallax field.
Four pin axes form a symmetric fastening field. The supplied pins and round nuts share the device coordinate system and are shown in their true assembly positions.

REMAINDER / REAL OBJECT + Specus Fiction PARALLEL
A 420 mm field crosses the boundary between object and story.
Art Object No. 01 is a real Specus project. Specus Fiction reuses its geometry as a proposed Remainder interface, while keeping the physical object and the game concept explicitly separate.

DOCUMENTED + IN DEVELOPMENT / REAL LIFE
The supplied 420 × 420 mm FBX belongs to the physical wall object. Twenty nominal Ø2 mm pin-hole axes are registered from the current model; final production fits remain subject to prototype verification.
CONCEPT + Specus Fiction / REMAINDER
In the narrative layer, the field is a physical map of contradictions preserved by an Index. Pins mark states that were not erased when public history stabilised.
GAME DESIGN / NOT YET PLAYABLE
Echo reveals an adjacent state, Hold keeps it available, and the resulting pin pattern records what crossed into the current history. This is an authored rule for development, not a released feature.
04 / THE PRICE OF RECONCILIATION
Two keys. One home.
Two families have evidence that the home belongs to them. Reconciling their records means deciding which history will remain effective. The stability of a shared world has a cost for particular people.
07 / STORY MAP
One loss. Different paths to an answer.
Select an event to explore its meaning. Branches show four faction-led directions of inquiry: this is a story in development, not a fixed quest order. Dashed lines mark possible resolutions.

NARRATIVE PROVENANCE
This narrative does not belong to this reality.
Specus Fiction does not present an embellished brand history or claim an origin inside our chronology. These devices are artifacts of an openly authored narrative and are true only within Specus Fiction. Everettian relative states and decoherence provide the intellectual frame; conscious branch choice, exchange between decohered macroworlds, and the authority of a name remain explicit fictional assumptions.
