UNDERCURRENT

The record so far 4 transmissions · 18 signals

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 carries a date it can be judged on. Every score is an editorial judgement, and says so.

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.
