The Long Observation
The act of observing changes the civilization that waits.
Deep signal monitoring sheet / observatory log / patience doctrine.
Recovered excerpt
The array did not search for messages. It searched for the discipline to keep an antenna pointed at nothing for a generation. The log records no contact. It records who stopped looking, and when, and why the others did not.
“A signal is not a message until someone has the discipline to keep listening.”
