Early disruption begins to register within the structure.  Accumulations form along key pathways, narrowing routes and introducing resistance to flow. Gold elements extend further through the system, not as decoration but as adaptive responses, reinforcing areas under increasing pressure.  The surrounding network remains active, but density and tension begin to build. The system is still functional, but no longer operating without strain.
