[ LOOP13 FILE // GLOSSARY ]

Compiled by: u/SignalWatcher313

SIGNAL

A distorted analog frequency carrying unknown data or intent.
Some believe the “signal” is alive, or a thought-form trying to rebuild itself via analog decay.

WATCHER

Appearing only in static and corrupted recordings.
Behavior unclear. It may not move on tape, but changes subtly between loops.
Often appears when the signal gains strength. Exposure increases after each viewing.

LOOP

Refers to the playback repetition of effected media.

THE TOWER

Radio structure located at GPS ██████, Oregon. First linked to a tape recovered in 1997.
All equipment inside was non-functional, fused by apparent electrical discharge.
Some claim the signal still bleeds from the soil there.

INFOHAZARD

A piece of data that becomes dangerous once seen or understood.
In context: images, sounds, or phrases tied to the Watcher that act as mental carriers.
Mods have warned users not to share unverified media dumps.

LOOP13.ARCHIVE

A corrupted directory of logs, signal fragments, and unknown executables.
Recovered from a crashed digitization system. Still partially encrypted.
Rumored to be self-replicating.

SIG13

Embedded signature detected in multiple analog-to-digital captures.
Not a codec or watermark — more like a carrier frequency.
Often encoded into the least significant bits of corrupted frames.

ATTUNED

A term used for users who've viewed the tape more than three times.
Side effects include: time loss, hallucinations, phantom broadcast tones, and sleep paralysis at 03:13 AM.
Attuned users often vanish from forums without warning.

REMEMBER: Reading about it is safer than seeing it.
But every loop pulls you closer.
