Manifests as the horizontal black bars that separate video frames on degraded VHS tapes, existing in 1.3 millisecond intervals where no picture information is transmitted. Accumulates penalty data in these unrecorded spaces, making the gaps between attendance events more dangerous than the events themselves. Appears as severe tracking line distortion when players drift out of synchronization with their league's timing, with each missed event widening the dark intervals until they consume the visible picture entirely.

Acts as the temporal penalty accumulator that converts missed attendance into synchronization debt, making each absence push players further out of phase until they can no longer be recorded by any of the 16 simulations. The more blanking interval corruption a player accumulates, the harder it becomes for the Chaintrix to maintain proper timing with their presence - eventually rendering them completely unrecordable.
