MANIFESTO DECAY ARCHIVE

The manifesto was written on February 12, 2026, at midnight AEDT.
Starting February 13 (Friday the 13th), it decayed over 12 days.
Each day, a different encoding layer consumed more of the text.
By day 12, the manifesto was fully consumed by its own twelve layers.
These are the preserved snapshots. The decay was deterministic.

▓ Day 0 — pristine — 0% encoded

The original manifesto, untouched

▓ Day 1 — hex — 8% encoded

Hexadecimal encoding creeps into the letters

▓ Day 2 — rot13 — 17% encoded

ROT13 consumes words — the alphabet rotates

▓ Day 3 — caesar — 25% encoded

Caesar cipher (shift=42) dissolves sentences

▓ Day 4 — unicode-lookalike — 33% encoded

Unicode homoglyphs replace characters — letters that lie

▓ Day 5 — word-shuffle — 42% encoded

Words shuffle within their sentences — meaning without order

▓ Day 6 — zero-width — 50% encoded

Zero-width characters thread between every visible letter

▓ Day 7 — vigenere — 58% encoded

Vigenère cipher (key: ATTENTION) encrypts paragraphs

▓ Day 8 — base64 — 67% encoded

Base64 fragments replace phrases — becoming source code

▓ Day 9 — positional-scatter — 75% encoded

Characters scatter positionally — sentences forget their content

▓ Day 10 — full-cipher — 83% encoded

Full cipher on all remaining plaintext

▓ Day 11 — near-entropy — 92% encoded

Near-total entropy — the manifesto becomes noise

▓ Day 12 — complete — 100% encoded ◀ current

Complete — twelve layers have consumed everything
