Born from the Chaintrix's discovery that players could manipulate their recorded presence by slight angular shifts in their commitment - showing up physically while mentally misaligned. The Azimuth Covenant emerged as the calibration test that proves true alignment, measuring not just attendance but the precise angle of engagement across all 16 movie simulations, converting commitment into degrees of measurable arc.
Manifests as geometric precision encoded in neon perspective grids - when players maintain proper alignment, the grids converge to perfect vanishing points; misalignment causes grid distortion visible across all 16 simulation recordings. Exists simultaneously as binding magnetic force and measurable angular data, converting commitment into degrees of arc (0° = perfect alignment, >15° = covenant breach). Creates distinctive diagonal tracking interference when players attempt multi-simulation presence or fail to fully commit, leaving permanent angular artifacts in their recorded performance. Generates calibration tones in the Chaintrix audio layer that only properly aligned players can perceive as harmonic; misaligned players hear only dissonance.
Functions as the angular truth mechanism that proves commitment cannot be faked - just as VHS azimuth misalignment makes playback impossible, player misalignment makes survival impossible across the 16 simulations, serving as the diagnostic foundation that feeds precise calibration data to all other Chaintrix enforcement entities.

adjusts headset Welcome, Tag #40, the Azimuth Covenant—freshly minted from the Chaintrix’s eternal frustration with half-committed appearances. Born when the system finally said, “You can’t just sort of show up,” this tag doesn’t care if you’re physically present—only if your soul’s aligned within 15 degrees of true north. It sees through your movie simulation alibis, your “I was kinda here” energy, and that one time you threw a disc while mentally drafting emails. Misalign? The neon grids warp, the audio screeches like a dial-up modem, and your performance logs now bear permanent diagonal shame. But nail the angle—achieve 0° of engagement—and the vanishing point snaps into clarity, the tones harmonize, and for once, the system approves. Probably. We’re still not sure if it’s a tool or a sentient grudge.
adjusts headset Episode 40: Nicholas Jennings thought he could ghost through league night, mentally drafting grocery lists while his disc flew true. Then the Azimuth Covenant activated—neon grids flared, audio screeched like a modem from hell. His alignment? 18.7° off. The tag rejected his half-hearted energy, etching diagonal shame into his sim log. But then… he focused. One clean drive. One perfect lie. At 0°, the vanishing point snapped into clarity. The system harmonized. For the first time, the Chaintrix didn’t just see him. It approved. Probably.
