Hypothesis
Waking emotional states are treated as causal inputs injected into the night. The deviation value — σ (sigma) — measures transmission loss across the threshold of sleep. High values indicate a signal warped or distorted in transit. Low values record a faithful resonance. Where fields are broken, the stream is unmapped: ∅.

No waking entry precedes this node. Yet here lies the most complex dream landscape in the ledger—the grandmother, the uncollected photographs, the heavy, physical exhaustion of retrieval. It has no traceable origin in the daily record. The transmission hypothesis fails entirely here, broken by a sudden breakthrough of memory.

Signed σ per interval. Bars below the axis represent attenuation or emotional sinking (dream more negative than day). Rising bars indicate dream amplification.
