Character · A2-CHAR-ELIZA
Eliza Marr
Compares the feed with earlier and later records, publishes bounded findings about the two memory claims, and keeps the response mechanism unresolved.
Visual cue: Archival comparison sheets beside the live feed.

Revised · 28 September 2026The Second Graham
The feed answers questions and carries an accepted principal reference; the source tests establish constructed memory, not the identity or operator behind it.
Evidence basis. These findings cite the current novel by paragraph. The earlier canon study remains available as a dated record of the first edition. Some identities, motives and claimed authorities remain unresolved in the story.
What changed / what remains open
People, places and evidence
Character · A2-CHAR-PERA
Pera Sol
Records different receiver timings at the market booth, marks the later public time, and keeps source comparisons visible beside Eliza.
Visual cue: Booth clocks and source copies.
Character · A2-CHAR-DARAN
Daran Pell
Finds the separate Isbister sketchbook note and helps compare it with Graham’s account; rereads the later erroneous catalogue against the sketch.
Visual cue: Separate pages with conflicting descriptions.
Character · A2-CHAR-ARUN
Arun Vey
Tests inherited display and service routes, isolates five routes without immediate service loss, and logs differing local responses to reactivation requests.
Visual cue: Working route board and local switches.
Character · A2-CHAR-NARA
Nara Venn
Challenges the appeal of relief through one speaker and asks why coordination should depend on the speaker’s name.
Visual cue: Mandate hooks beside a public screen.
Character · A2-CHAR-MARIAN
Marian Vale
Refuses to recognise the feed’s authority over herself, the estate question, or disputed public-use property; she makes no claim that the likeness is false.
Visual cue: Succession notice held beside the live image.
Event · A2-EVENT-RESPONSIVE-FEED
The Responsive Graham Feed
A Graham likeness answers live questions through differently delayed routes and speaks in the first person; responsiveness does not authenticate the speaker.
Visual cue: Multiple ordinary receivers, not one central transmitter.
Records · A2-OBJ-SOURCE-TESTS
The Two Source Comparisons
The feed repeats Isbister-only detail and a later catalogue’s nonexistent bell tower as autobiographical memory. The second finding supports constructed autobiography, while leaving the operator unknown.
Visual cue: The actual sketch, erroneous caption and comparison columns.
Infrastructure · A2-OBJ-LEGACY-ROUTES
Legacy Authority Routes
Inherited service and broadcast paths carry the feed and reactivation proposals; local systems accept, hold or reject requests differently.
Visual cue: Route board showing local outcomes.
Record · A2-OBJ-PRINCIPAL-RECOGNISED
Principal Recognised
A machine log accepts a principal reference pointing to an old Council identity service. The entry establishes machine recognition, not a person’s identity or lawful command.
Visual cue: Raw acceptance log beside the physical route.
Continuity boundaries
- First-person responsiveness and different receiver timings do not authenticate identity. ¶1 ¶2 ¶91
- The Isbister test is evidence of composition from surviving sources; it does not identify every available source or the operator. ¶70 ¶81 ¶91
- The later bell-tower error establishes a constructed autobiographical response without settling whether the system is autonomous or human-operated. ¶192 ¶193 ¶208 ¶210 ¶213
- Marian rejects the feed’s claimed authority without deciding whether the likeness is false. ¶158 ¶167
- Some legacy routes remain connected for service reasons and local reactivation responses vary. ¶140 ¶233 ¶260
- PRINCIPAL RECOGNISED is a machine acceptance log and leads to the Council identity service; its authority must be investigated next. ¶263 ¶268 ¶301
Companion records
A2-031
The Second Graham
A responsive Graham presentation travels inherited routes and receives machine recognition; its identity and operator remain undetermined.
A2-032
Too Perfect a Memory
The feed uses Isbister’s separate note and a later catalogue error as first-person recollection; the archive documents source composition.
Game design candidates
Untested ideas. Costs, rarity, timing and rules have not been approved; this canon update does not change the live game.
