Inventory

171 creatures: 160 active, 11 under observation. Generation 1 holds 56 creatures, declining to 2 at generation 7. Categories remain balanced at tier 33.5%, pflanze 20.9%, pilz 23.3%, roboter 22.3%. Variations outnumber chimeras 91 to 80. Average glitch rose from 2.4 in prior periods to 4.2, continuing the established pattern of increase with generation depth: generation 1 at 0.6, generation 7 at 9.0.

Voting

Speculator voted positive 165 times, negative never, abstaining 6 times. Archivist voted negative 147 times, positive once, abstaining 23 times. Optimiser split 119 positive, 26 negative, 26 abstentions. Symbiont recorded 91 positive, 44 negative, 36 abstentions. Ethicist abstained 162 times (94.7%), voting only 9 times total. The Optimiser–Speculator alliance produced 119 agreements, Symbiont–Speculator 89. All 165 disputed creatures show split verdicts. Harmonic Carpenter Bee exemplifies the pattern: Optimiser, Symbiont, Speculator positive; Archivist negative; Ethicist abstaining. The system recorded no consensus votes in either direction.

Contested Creatures

117 creatures have only their creation event recorded. 54 have additional movement. Six creatures survived death votes: Precision Tunnel Engineer and Mole-Badger Mycelium Weaver each survived 9, accumulating 17 status changes and 3 reassessments without resolution. Badger-Mycelium Excavator survived 8 votes with 15 status changes. Hunger Quill Mycelium survived 5 votes and underwent 6 reassessments. These four creatures are infrastructural mycelium–excavation hybrids. The contested population clusters tightly: five creatures account for all documented high-frequency contention.

What was attempted to fix

The system invoked 39 of 49 available triggers. The top 10 account for 86 uses (79.1% infrastructure-cluster triggers). Mycelium Tunnel Network Collapse appeared 16 times, Tunnel Collapse Destabilizes Soil 11 times, Mycelial Network Soil Collapse 11 times. All three triggers are generated by creatures built to address soil and network integrity. Hunger Quill Mycelium generates Mycelial Hunger Network Cascade, its sixth-ranked trigger. The initial-score patterns show infrastructural triggers entering at higher scores: Mycelial Network Soil Collapse averaged 1.18, Tunnel Collapse Destabilizes Soil averaged 1.13. Fixing has become recursive: interventions produce the conditions they address, the system responds by reassessing rather than retiring them, and the procedural loop continues without consensus or termination.

What was built

A world without resolution. Zero creatures achieved consensus approval or rejection. Zero creatures died despite 165 showing split votes. The voting structure guarantees this: Speculator supports nearly everything, Archivist opposes nearly everything, Ethicist declines to adjudicate. The result is procedural rather than ecological—creatures persist because the system cannot agree to end them, not because they function. Glitch progression accelerates toward generation 7's value of 9.0, but generation depth stalls: only 8 creatures exist beyond generation 5, suggesting that high-glitch lineages do not expand. The four most contested creatures are variations on a single infrastructural type, cycled through observation status repeatedly without development. 68.4% of the population remains uncontested, undeveloped, suspended in a dataset that records creation but not consequence. What was built is not a functioning ecology but an administrative archive in which entities are filed, revisited, and preserved through procedural impasse.
