FIELD NOTE — Wellington, 38.5°S, 16 March 2026 Specimen: Coffea arabica residue, ceramic vessel #4 (chipped, south rim) Time of collection: 16:03 NZDT Conditions: Overcast thinning to pale glare. Wind SW, 22 km/h. The surface tension held longer than expected. I counted fifteen tasks reflected before the meniscus broke— a breath, a tap of the pen, and they dissolved into one dark disc again. Note: the child called from the hallway during observation. I turned. When I looked back, the reflection had reorganised itself around her voice. This is not a repeatable result. I have tried seven times. It reorganises every time.
