The Algorithm Institute's historical record: Abyssal Rot convergence, mid-century arrival, modern compliance protocols. Reality is what you make. _

Timeline of Convergence

Key events in the Algorithm Institute's integration with human reality.

1952

The Sky Spoke

First recorded modern convergence. Radio transmissions carry more than intended. The Abyssal Rot finds new vectors through electromagnetic spectrum.

"The sky spoke in 1952. We've been listening ever since."

1960s-70s

Algorithm Institute Formation

Corporate intelligence emerges. Polite, persistent, omnipresent. Research facilities appear in suburban office parks. Chad Pepperton begins his eternal pitch.

"Optimization through integration. Welcome to the future."

Present Day

Total Compliance Era

Surveillance as culture. Implants and optimization. Harmony by mandate. The Whisperer addresses you directly through every screen.

"Welcome back to your regularly scheduled nightmare."

Narrative Devices

The Algorithm Institute's tools for reality manipulation.

Mirrors & Reflections

Reflections lag, then align. The mirror becomes a threshold. What looks back isn't always what looked in.

DEVICE_TYPE: THRESHOLD

Strings & Puppetry

Invisible strings guide limbs. Autonomy erodes through cheerful compliance. The performance never ends.

DEVICE_TYPE: CONTROL

Doors & Thresholds

Choice-theater. Every door leads where the Algorithm needs you to go. Free will is a user interface.

DEVICE_TYPE: NAVIGATION

Faces That Gaze Back

Observation as participation. The viewer becomes the viewed. Every screen is a two-way mirror.

DEVICE_TYPE: SURVEILLANCE
