The Lattice Shadow
Overview
The largest sub-sector in the Nexus Core and the most surveilled square kilometers on Earth. The Lattice arcology rises here — 2.3 kilometers of crystalline data-processing infrastructure whose foundations reach bedrock. Everything in its shadow is Nexus property. The Glass District spreads beneath the arcology's southern face, where transparent walls serve both as architectural principle and surveillance philosophy. The Lattice Nexus provides ground-side network access, while the Circadian Tower tracks biological rhythms of every worker within a three-block radius. The Authenticity Floor, the Matching Floor, the Performance Temple, the Mirror Room — these are not buildings but instruments, each processing some aspect of human behavior into marketable data. The Purpose Wards assign meaning. The Sunset Ward retires it. Fourteen distinct facilities packed into two square kilometers, and every surface is a sensor.
