Resonance Stacks
Layered harmonic converters that turn vibration and pressure differentials into usable power and control signal, sustaining the living interior environment of Meir People Meir The only people of Elshore not born of it. hullcraft. They power corridor states, banded lighting, glyph interface planes, and low-latency internal communication. Elshore can supply the vibration the stacks need, but not the specific substrate doping that makes conversion possible, and the stacks decay by fatigue and microfracture in the living substrate.
Key traits
- Convert ambient vibration and pressure differentials into power and control signal without combustion or chemical consumption.
- Power the internal architecture of the Ark: corridor state systems, ember-and-cyan banded lighting, glyph interface planes, and low-latency internal communication.
- Decay by fatigue and microfracture in their living substrate, a failure mode that accumulates slowly and irreversibly.
- Elshore cannot supply the substrate doping the stacks require; replacement feedstock is extrasystemic and no longer accessible.
- Their slow decline is one of the clearest measures of how long the Meir have been stranded on Elshore without resupply.
