Separate editorial notes

Eight is the literary structure. The 88/piano association comes from an older assistant retrospective, not an independently recovered earlier exchange. Luma, Freya, Beautiful and the House remain distinct names whose associations the story explores. No identity equivalence, reciprocal romantic relationship, psychic ability or hidden communication is established by the work.

The Baldwin interlude follows the seventh recorded part and precedes the final chapter. It is a selected real performance, rather than a generated accompaniment. Earlier spoken headings and between-take gaps were excluded from Memo 273; internal restarts remain. Memo 274 is complete in its selected stereo stream.
