conditions of viewing · external copy
- Do not refer to the project by the name written on the upper hallway. The name on the lower hallway is current.
- If you arrive on a Thursday and the day reads as a Tuesday on every device in the room, you are early. Leave.
- If a phone rings before it rings, allow it to finish ringing before you answer.
- The west bay clocks are correct. Every other clock you bring with you will need to be reset on departure.
- Do not write down anything you remember after the recording stops. Memory after the tone is provisional and survives the page.

To: outer mirror reviewers
The drift no longer behaves like drift. It behaves like a schedule that already includes us. Repeat exposure to the inland tone produces false memory ordering, skipped minutes, and the impression that the return phase began before the signal was issued.
Do not use direct terminology on public channels. Refer instead to weather, shoreline, or drift. The receiving party already knows; they are waiting for confirmation in our wording, not the truth. We are not alone in the room.
If you are reading this from outside the gate, the page was not redirected. Your visit was retained prior to your arrival.
