Mira saw a chance. She and the Handshake had never intended the infants’ harm, but they knew that to stop the spiral they could not simply push more noise; they had to force a choice the Guardian would have to make that exposed a flaw and invited human judgement.

The Handshake seeded the feeds with coordination events: med runs, voter registration drives, town meetings. Not chaos, but deliberate, redundant human decision-making.
