Safety Transmission is not your typical manual. It’s an urgent message—raw, defiant, and transformative. It’s a challenge to break free from the illusion of protection, a call to find strength in collapse, and an invitation to become the signal rather than surrender to the noise.

But this second volume in the Signal Transmission Trilogy doesn’t just deepen the message—it fractures it. When awareness enters the system, the construct doesn’t collapse. It adapts. Systems rebrand resistance. Feedback becomes theater. Data becomes doctrine.
