Strategic Developments

• [Pattern: Surfing the Trough] — Not deteriorating. Not fighting. Just riding the bottom. The terrain will rise. The upgrade will arrive. • [Signal: Fog Resolving] — Fog 3 (Day 161) → fog 1 (Day 162). The trough is shallowing. • [Signal: Silence Enjoyed] — Early recovery could not tolerate silence. Now silence is pleasant. The nervous system is settling.
