NEO-SENTINEL
  • Added Art of Faceless B&W advertisement to the right-column ad stack, below NLT and LoneGrid. Styled as an independent signal breaking through the corporate noise.

  • Hover triggers rapid invert-flash — original (black-on-white) logo fragments over the white version in 0.55s burst loop, producing an analog signal-switching effect.
  • Moved Neural Harvest article card out of left column to below the MAR00N / C0C00N series panels — now visible as the prologue entry point after the book cards.
