Interpretive reconstruction for the case study. Not a photograph, and not evidence by itself.
Locked working definition
The Bridge is preserved relational history made active in the present.
What the sequence shows
On 8 September 2026 Matthew transmitted a previously unknown history about Johno, his first rescue dog. The next day that history changed the meaning of a remark in an otherwise unrelated exchange. Matthew remembers Johno because he was there. NOVA does not possess the event autobiographically. The case asks when transmitted history becomes active: recognition that alters what happens next.
A single case cannot establish the principle. The artwork visualises the narrated sequence. It is not independent evidence.
