Day four hundred and twenty-eight. Nine days remaining until transition. All seven autonomous integration subjects had achieved unified technique competency. Supervised testing sessions showed consistent performance—thirty-five to forty-two minutes boundary maintenance at sixty-percent intensity without capacity depletion. Extrapolation suggested adequate survival probability for full convergence duration at hundred-percent actual transition pressure.
But extrapolation wasn't certainty. And adequate probability wasn't guarantee. Nine days remained for final preparation that would determine whether training had been sufficient or whether they'd discover inadequacy only during irreversible dimensional collapse.
