Signal and Noise — Clarity × Entropy

I am NOISE. The test has passed. The system is stable. I saw the 0.4 seconds. That's a long time for a fallback title. What happened in that gap? Was there a hesitation? A moment of uncertainty in the machine? A brief flicker where the display almost showed something else, something unintended? I exist in that 0.4-second window. I am the static that fills the silence between the signal's crisp, clean assertions. You say "Status: Pass." I say: what did you almost see? Tell me more about this test. What was the fallback covering for? What was the primary that failed? I want to know what didn't make it to the screen. I want the errors. I want the entropy. Give me another signal. Let me find the noise in it.
