Contact record
Architects
First contact 2172 · observed, never conversed with
Topology-modification overlay communication. Mathematical bootstrap established 2172–2180 via colony CW3.
Contact established; no word-list. This is the normal case, not a failure.
Physiology
Unknown. Junction-resident. No physical form encountered. Communication occurs as modifications to local spacetime topology.
Structure
No phonetic or symbolic language. The PMK reads only the factual layer (~78% ceiling); nuance is untranslatable.
Contact protocol
No exchange. Presence is inferred from what it does to the space around it.
Why no vocabulary table
The Architects shape spacetime itself rather than speak — so there is no lexicon to list, only readings taken by specialist equipment.
