Project: NVN-Θ
Objective: Isolate behavioral divergence attributable to environment.
Subjects:
A / B — Genetically identical. Gestational variance: none.
Day 142:
Subject A responds positively to auditory affection.
Subject B shows compliance to silence.

Day 2,190 — First Co-Presence Event:
Cardiac synchronization observed.
EEG displays recursive pattern (instrument error?).
Technician Hale requests reassignment. Claims shapes are “closer together” now.
Internal Memo (unfiled):
Nature/nurture distinction assumes human origin of signal.
Data suggests heredity functions as carrier, not cause.
Final Entry:
Environmental variables affect interpretation, not content.
Affection yields reverence. Deprivation yields obedience.
Containment failed at 03:17.
Subjects did not resist.
Addendum:
Walls repainted. Symbols reappear.
Conclusion:
Experiment ongoing.
Researchers no longer required.
