# Pulse Log — sample excerpt

This is what a pulse_log.md looks like once a workspace has been running for a while.
The medulla entries (paragraphs, `# Heartbeat:` style) are the *crystal* format.
The plasmoid entries (one line, `| LABEL 0.NNN |`) are the *plasmoid* format.
Both can coexist; both are human-readable; both are valid fossils.

- **Heartbeat:** #1
- **Status:** First pulse. Workspace initialized. All structures present.

## 2026-06-01T16:57:34Z
- **Heartbeat:** #7
- **Status:** All structures stable. No anomalies detected.

## 2026-06-08T22:23:34Z
- **Heartbeat:** #8
- **Status:** All structures stable. No anomalies detected.
- **Projects/Skills/Stories:** 0 / 0 / 0 (directories absent — cortex uninitialized beyond baseline)
- **Notable:** Fourth medulla stimulation from Zo Computer workspace. State snapshot updated to 2026-06-08. 7 days since last pulse. Akashic still STIRRING, Lethe DORMANT. Thalamic routing intact at 9 routes. The organism breathes.

## 2026-06-08T23:12:12Z | COHERENT 0.524 | recency=0.99 energy=0.07 rhythm=0.01 chrono=0.08 — first plasmoid pulse — A.3 retcon test
## 2026-06-08T23:12:37Z | DORMANT 0.030 | recency=0.00 energy=0.07 rhythm=0.04 chrono=0.08 — after A.3 retcon: counter -> coherence
## 2026-06-08T23:15:10Z | COHERENT 0.540 | recency=1.00 energy=0.08 rhythm=0.08 chrono=0.08 — field stabilized after timestamp fix
## 2026-06-08T23:15:26Z | COHERENT 0.540 | recency=1.00 energy=0.08 rhythm=0.08 chrono=0.08 — field stabilized at 0.54 — recency component healthy
## 2026-06-08T23:16:27Z | COHERENT 0.549 | recency=1.00 energy=0.09 rhythm=0.12 chrono=0.08 — post-architecture-change sanity check
