 ## Planning area
 
-### Context for Claude
-
-This song is part of a trilogy with `paxprotej/sauna_v2.md` and `paxprotej/rover.md` - read those for voice/density calibration. All three share recursive acronym titles and a fluid, half-concrete protagonist.
-
-**Core philosophy (do not deviate):**
-- The pulse is about *authenticity*, not rebellion or resistance. "The action is the reason itself."
-- The envelope (ambient noise/world) has no malice - it's gravity, not suppression. You can't defeat it; you persist alongside it.
-- Reception/acknowledgment is *not* the motivation. The pulse doesn't care if it's received.
-- Never write about writing songs. The song's existence is the statement.
-
-**Style notes:**
-- Documentary/essay sections: deliberately dull, Wikipedia/NatGeo tone, mockumentary. Plain enough to half-tune-out.
-- Chaotic sections: dense alliteration, physics terminology (optical/acoustic/EM) colliding with biological/surreal imagery. "Medium agnostic whale" energy.
-- The user has two modes: tight/decisive (see `wip/tunnels.md`, `paxprotej/shimizusawa.md`) and sprawling/chaotic. This song is the latter.
-
-**Current state:**
-- Opener exists but may extend further
-- Documentary paragraphs (ambient frequency, impulse signal) are done
-- Bridge paragraph ("In the broad spectrum...") exists, bridging TBD
-- Middle chaotic verses partially built
-- P-U-L-S-E acrostic ending: only the E line is written. Four lines needed.
-- "Poem-ic verses" section (structural item 5) not yet attempted
-
-**Imagery domains:** FM radio, submarine/sonar, optical physics (refraction, aberration, diffraction), thermodynamics, waves crossing media boundaries.

 ### Outline 
 
 The song is about how one keeps his own rhythm which is kind of different from what his surrounding expects. It's not mortally different that will easily get crushed, also due to the surrounding environment being more of a latent mechanical movement rather than something that actively suppresses abnormalities.
