“A Stable Mind is a Productive Mind!”
Greetings, valued citizens of the Vault! The Office of Mental Order (OMO) has concluded its weekly scan of the residential sectors. We are thrilled to report that 92% of you are vibrating at the optimal frequency! For the remaining 8%, do not fret—instability is merely a puzzle we haven't solved yet.
As the Vault undergoes "Sub-Spatial Optimization" (shifting walls and shifting floors), please follow these updated stability protocols to keep your mind as rigid as a steel girder:
Spatial Consistency Affirmations: You may occasionally perceive a room as being "larger on the inside" or notice that a hallway seems to stretch while you walk down it. Do not be alarmed! This is simply Perspective Expansion. If the walls appear to breathe or move, stop walking, fix your gaze on a single brass rivet, and repeat: "The Vault is fixed. The Vault is firm. My destination is mathematically certain." * Dream-State Defragmentation: Unsanctioned dreaming is a primary cause of "Mental Friction." If you wake up remembering a sky that was "blue" or "vast," please report to a medical kiosk for a Subconscious Scrub. These "Visual Hallucinations" are just leftover data from your previous, less-efficient reality. True peace is found in a dreamless, efficient sleep-cycle.
Acknowledge the Internal Pulse: If you feel the floor vibrating or hear a rhythmic thrumming in your inner ear, rejoice! You are successfully syncing with the Great Machine. This "Hum" is a diagnostic tool designed to keep your heartbeat on the Vault’s clock. Resistance causes friction; friction causes heat; heat causes madness. Just breathe in time with the pistons.
The "Forgive and Forget" Protocol: We have seen an uptick in "Retro-Speculation" (Nostalgia). Thinking about a life "before" the Vault is like trying to run software on a rusted processor. It leads to Time-Slip. If your memories start to feel more real than the brass walls around you, report to a Redemption Kiosk for a "Current-Tense Stabilizer" ration.
Material Anchor Drills: Objects may occasionally "clip" through surfaces or appear to flicker between brass and iron. This is a Textural Glitch. Do not attempt to touch flickering objects, as this can lead to "Sensory Smudging." Simply file a "Structural Integrity Report" and move to a more stable sector immediately.

"Pardon the interruption, Citizens! This is Warden unit GX-57 with a gentle reminder: If you feel like you are forgetting who you were before you arrived, CONGRATULATIONS! You are finally making room for who you are meant to be. If you find yourself crying for 'No Reason,' please note that liquid discharge from the eyes is a waste of the Vault's recycled moisture. Stand near a ventilation grate so we can reclaim those resources. Remember: A stable mind doesn't ask questions, and a silent heart never misses a tick! Stay synchronized!"
"Sanity is a choice you make every time the clock strikes the hour. Choose the rhythm. Choose the Vault."
