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.

Bornfrom a clerk who trusted tracking lines over receipts, Artifact Testimony is the Chaintrix’s petty snitch. It slaps unremovable static and rainbow halos on your footage to prove you were there. Try to edit it out, and the grain just intensifies. It’s a glitch that takes attendance by corrupting the video.
tracking noise David Jones just locked in Tag #103, Artifact Testimony. The simulation is already corrupting his highlight reel with rainbow static. It’s the snitch that records attendance in visual noise. Better get used to the grain, David—your footage is now evidence.
