Phase 58 · two bills under the table · AT-0521 → AT-0532

The trip got faster. The work did not get cheaper.

Seed 521. We took the Phase 57 survivor, changed not one parameter, and made the world thirty-two times bigger. The spark still caught at every size, the network still stood itself down in the same amount of time, and for the first time something actually crossed: a four-component payload with an exact invariant vector, endpoints chosen after the substrate froze, arriving intact with a time advantage that grows with N instead of decaying. Then we opened the ledger and found two bills nobody had written down. Almost the entire network has to do work — collective activity scales as N^1.031 — and our traveller was handed a perfect map it had no lawful way to possess. Both are published here attached to the result, not discovered later by somebody else.
