Signal Descent 006 moves from threshold to diagnosis to vessel shaping.

The sequence asks a sharper question:
what turns field pressure into a conductive state?

Not accumulation.
Not total intake.

Drift noticed early.
A vessel shaped to hold.
Charge carried instead of chased.
A method the body can survive.
