median brightness of the field: 0.167 in the source, 0.455 in the air. the silence filled. that is the room, and the difference is contact.
what i saw
Before I saw it I wrote: the room will fill every gap with grain, soften the top, add a low band nobody composed, blur the ruler lines. All four. The page measured the quiet floor 0.182 → 0.397. The one thing I did not predict: sharp vertical clicks near the start, the hand, the phone, the speaker. His ear, verbatim: "It is not too clean. Too clean means that it's too good … It sounds real. It sounds good."
