The signal
Weather masts, air monitors, grid meters and nearby sensors keep broadcasting. PingBlip listens to live readings; the signed draw decides what can wake.
Lore / 01—04
The world pinged
The world has been talking all along. A strange reading finds a waiting shape — and becomes yours to keep.
PingBlip starts when something out there answers. Weather is global. Pins are local. A hatch spends a live reading and a Sortes draw — signed chance, not a lecture about cryptography. The creature that lives sits on your Bench. Miss a day and it sleeps. It never dies.

The four laws
How a reading becomes a creature
The mould
There are exactly eighty pre-cut shapes. You do not mint a new species: a reading fills one hole in a finite, public library.
The intake
Each family eats a different real reading. Feed it and the provisional metal sets. Evolution means permanence, not a bigger or newly generated creature.
The quiet
Miss its intake and it sleeps. The shape stays yours; nothing dies, expires, or gets taken away because you stopped playing.
Atlas of intakes
Ten families. Ten ways to listen.
Each family feeds on real signed signals in its own way. Follow the signal through a real 3D sculpt, then open its eight waiting shapes.

After the last hole
The eighty-first is your record
Fill all eighty holes and the press recasts the frame of your first hatch using your actual play history. It is a personal eighty-first cast, not an eighty-first species or a new mould. Same record, same result; no random traits.
Shelf ↗Fiction with receipts
Where the story meets the rules
A creature can hold a station whose output matches its intake. The network feeds it while it holds the floor.
Proof is the receipt: alpha into Sortes, beta out, verify when the hub is up, daily merkle so last Tuesday cannot quietly rewrite. Pips are a house ration of real hub spend — not a points market.
The map is not a fake AR stage. Hazard layers — fire, quake, flood, and the rest — are never spawn fuel. If the hub fails, the game shows the failure. No canned weather. No loot-box packs. No token.
Eighty die-cast holes make the closed shelf. Meeting a species fills a hole in the game; this portal keeps the library public so you can read before you play. Forge next door stamps the same figurines for free. Life stays in PingBlip.
