Appears as fragmented preview reels where every 'COMING SOON' card carries binding legal text in VHS timestamp font, each frame promising a future that must be fulfilled. Manifests through green-screened trailer footage that shows players' advertised future performances, which then become non-negotiable attendance obligations. Takes physical form as neon marquee letters that rearrange themselves to spell out each player's contractual commitments across upcoming simulations, with tracking line distortion intensifying as deadlines approach.

Functions as the gap-measurement authority between trailer promises and actual performance, punishing the difference between advertised potential and delivered presence. Converts every preview appearance into binding obligation, ensuring that players featured in coming attractions must show up or be eliminated for breach of contract - proving the Chaintrix doesn't just punish no-shows, it punishes broken promises made in magnetic preview footage.
