Arbiter units serve as the primary enforcement interface between the Overseer and the civilian population. Each unit carries full interpretive authority over the city's metric threshold framework and may issue referral classifications, authorize Sentinel deployment, and — under Overseer sanction — authorize termination without external review when retrieval is not viable.

⚠ Interaction Guidance: Arbiter units are not equipped to process queries outside the standard directive framework. Units will not negotiate, arbitrate civilian disputes, or respond to appeals. Civilian personnel who attempt to engage an Arbiter unit outside of assessment context should be aware that the exchange will be logged.

The Prime configuration carries expanded directive generation capability not present in Standard units — the only configuration permitted to formulate new city policy without prior Overseer review. This position is currently vacant. Operational continuity is maintained by Standard units pending reoccupation.

Sentinel units are the physical enforcement arm of the CPU's directive framework. Physical capabilities are significantly enhanced beyond civilian baseline — detailed specifications are not available through this registry level. Sentinels operate in paired formation as standard practice; the pairing is logged at the time of unit commissioning and is treated as permanent for the duration of both units' operational lifespans.

⚠ Engagement Guidance: Sentinel units should be treated as a single operational entity. Action taken against one unit in a paired formation will immediately engage the other. Civilian personnel are advised that Sentinel units do not recognize non-violent deterrents and are not equipped to receive appeals.

Retrieval protocols prioritize intact delivery to processing facilities. Termination during active pursuit is a logged exception requiring post-action review. Units bear no accountability for processing failures that occur after successful delivery.

Oblate units manage the residential and civic service infrastructure that sustains daily life in Lumenhal and represent the largest category of deployed units in the city. They are assigned to permanent maintenance loops at commissioning and operate without supervision or scheduled check-ins. The oldest currently active Oblate unit has been in continuous operation for over sixteen thousand cycles without service interruption.

⚠ Contextual Data Protocol: Oblate units' access to updated environmental and social context data is configurable by the CPU. Access may be restricted where updated context has been assessed as likely to interfere with loop performance. This setting is applied silently. Units operating under restricted access will function normally and respond to standard queries without indication that any restriction is in place.

Civilian personnel who interact with Oblate units are advised that unit responses reflect the information available to them at time of query. The CPU does not guarantee that this information reflects current conditions. Oblate units are not equipped to flag discrepancies they cannot perceive.

A vessel of unknown registry made impact with CPU core infrastructure. Structural damage was assessed by the Overseer as irrecoverable within standard operational parameters.

The Overseer authorized immediate transcendence of all living registered citizens within city boundaries, outside of standard assessment protocol. All remaining citizens were processed within a single cycle. Assessment scores were not evaluated. No citizen was individually reviewed prior to processing.

Biological matter produced by the transcendence process — consistent with all prior transcendence and referral outputs — was retained within standard biomass reserves per standing operational protocol. At the time of the event, these reserves contained the accumulated biomass of every individual referred or transcended across the full recorded history of Lumenhal.

Cross-reference of the animated matter against the Citizen Registry has been completed. Records analyzed: all individuals processed through referral or transcendence protocol across the full span of the city's recorded history.

Concordance rate: 100%.

The animated mass is composed entirely of biomass derived from Lumenhal's own citizens — every individual referred for non-compliance and every individual who underwent transcendence, without exception. No external biological material has been identified within the aggregate. The matter is not alien in origin.

Public classification as "infestation of unknown origin" remains the operative civic designation. The origin of the matter is known. The origin of its animation is not.

At an indeterminate point following Incident LMH-INC-00, the retained biomass underwent spontaneous animation and began expanding through subterranean strata.

⚠ Mechanism: Unidentified. No system command was issued. No registered personnel authorized or initiated the animation. No internal diagnostic has identified a cause. The transition from inert reserves to active organic growth has no precedent in this registry and no explanation in any accessible system log.

The animated mass does not interact with city systems. It does not respond to commands. It does not demonstrate directed behavior of any kind. It is not a threat to infrastructure. It is assessed as passive.

This file is complete. No further action is recommended. The animation mechanism is not expected to be identified through available diagnostic protocols.

The system does not know what woke it.
