Manifests as neon-green audio waveforms that overlay degraded VHS footage, pulsing with the rhythm of player testimony. Takes physical form in the 0.5mm magnetic gap between video and audio tracks on VHS tape—the space where sound and image can drift out of sync. When activated, iconic 90s movie quotes appear as subtitle text that contradicts the visual record, while crystal-clear soundtrack moments play over unwatchable static. The better the audio testimony, the brighter the waveforms glow against the corrupted picture, creating an inverse relationship where visual failure amplifies acoustic authority.

Functions as the heretical counter-authority that validates player presence through audio testimony when visual records fail, proving that in the Chaintrix, what you can accurately narrate becomes as authoritative as what got magnetically captured—making every player both witness and recording device across all 16 movie simulations. Introduces productive tension with visual-based authority systems by creating an alternate authentication path that rewards memory, storytelling precision, and witness corroboration over magnetic reliability.
