The designation reflects the Wardens’ internal confidence at the moment of
synchronization: all deployed reactors reporting identical ratios, mass curvature
stabilized, charge symmetry locked without exception. From an engineering
perspective, the operation was flawless. Calibration converged across cosmic
distances without relay or delay, producing a final state that could be expressed,
archived, and—most importantly—reproduced. Initial summaries credited the
Orchard with achieving harmony at universal scale, and for a brief interval the title
stood unchallenged.
Later review complicated that conclusion. Cross-analysis of pre-activation
background noise revealed correlations already present, buried beneath statistical
tolerance and long dismissed as error. The reactors had not imposed alignment so
much as removed the last instruments capable of seeing deviation. What appeared
as calibration was, in retrospect, confirmation: the constants had already settled,
quietly and everywhere, before the Wardens arrived to measure them. The Orchard
did not tune the universe into coherence. It discovered that coherence had been
waiting—and that intervention had only marked the moment when randomness
finally lost its alibi.
