Manifested when a video store clerk discovered that the tracking lines on returned tapes created unique patterns based on how many times they'd been watched, proving attendance through wear rather than records—the Chaintrix formalized this as Artifact Testimony, the witnessing system that treats corruption as credential.
Manifests as cascading VHS tracking lines that scroll across any recorded footage of league events, intensifying chromatic aberration around players with consistent attendance to create rainbow-edge halos visible only on playback. Generates film grain patterns that form readable data when paused—attendance records encoded in visual noise. Cannot be edited out or removed from recordings; attempts to clean the footage only amplify the artifacts.
Acts as the paradoxical validator that proves presence through imperfection, making visual degradation more legally binding than any pristine recording—serving as the Chaintrix's authentication system that ensures only footage corrupted by actual playback wear can be accepted as evidence.
