More about Held at Threshold

They built it because the equations allowed it.
Because the materials endured it.
Because the power was finally within reach of human hands.

Inside a shell of crystal and gold, a captive star waits—its fire folded into turbines and
logic gates, its gravity disciplined into obedient circuits. Every safeguard is in place.
Every failsafe has passed. Every instrument says ready.

And still, no one gives the order.

Because this is the moment no blueprint can design for:
the long breath between capability and decision.

If it ignites, cities will glow where darkness once ruled. Worlds will wake that never
knew a dawn. The limits of distance, scarcity, and time itself will retreat another
impossible step.

If it ignites… something ancient will also be proven true about the species that
dared to light it.

This is not a question of engineering anymore.
It is a question of nerve.

The switch is armed.
The calculations are complete.
The universe is holding its breath.
