RECONSTRUCTION — this is the board as it stood on 15 June 2026, transmission 002. Nothing published after that date is visible to this page: the histories, the counts and the archive totals below were all computed with the record cut off at 15 June 2026.
Daily culture intelligence — what is moving underground, how far along it is, and
whether it is real. No signal in this issue carries a source — it predates this board's sourcing standard, every call a date it can be judged on,
every score an editorial judgement that says so.

“Left the board” means stories that left the board since the last issue — this desk stopped covering them, which is not the same as them being over.

The 2016 digital-artifact look (early-IG contrast, dead-app UI) is the aesthetic of the moment.

Most signals never move. 1 of 14 ever changed stage. These did — plotted day by day on one shared 0–100 scale, including the ones that went the wrong way.

Signals this desk called live and then called over, with the dates of both readings. Nothing reaches this list by fading out: a stone requires a stage that actually changed in a published issue. Where no cause is given, none was written at the time — a cause of death composed now, for something that died in June, would be a story fitted to an outcome already known.
