Case No.:CASE-0005
Object Designation:OB-05
Classification:OBJECT OF INTEREST — CLASS I
Registry Status:CONFIRMED — ELEVATED ACTIVITY
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Material:The Black
Dimensions:52cm × 39cm × 11cm (approximate)
Mass:Inconsistent with volumeMeasured: 87.3kgExpected for volume: 22.3kgDiscrepancy: 65.0kg unaccounted
Surface:Standard OB properties. Non-reflective.No structure at magnification.
Temperature:Below ambient. Most variable baseline temperaturein the registry — fluctuates within a 3°C rangeover a 30-day period. No pattern identifiedfor the fluctuation.
Notes:Most active fragment in the registry by event count.
LOCATION
Status:KNOWN
Region:North America (precise location withheld)
Holder:Individual, identified, active correspondence
Facility:Purpose-built holding environment constructedby holder following first liquefaction event.Monitoring: continuous instrumental + periodicin-person observation.
LIQUEFACTION EVENTS
Total on record:3
Longest duration:2 minutes, 17 seconds (Event 3)
Field reports:FIELD-REPORT-0041 (Event 2)Event 1 and Event 3 documented in holdercorrespondence; no formal field report filed.The Lapidary notes this as a gap in the recordand has requested formal reports for Events 1 and 3.The holder has not yet provided them.
Witnesses:Event 1: holder aloneEvent 2: holder + Lapidary representative (see FR-0041)Event 3: holder alone
Trigger:NEGATIVE for Events 1 and 3 (spontaneous)NEGATIVE for Event 2 (occurred during signalinduction attempt; the attempt used the frequencyrange documented in FREQUENCY-NOTES.md;the Lapidary does not conclude the attempt causedthe event, as the timing may be coincidental;see FR-0041 for full account)
CROSS-FRAGMENT OBSERVATIONS
During OB-05's Event 3, OB-07 (location: several thousand kilometres from OB-05) registered a temperature drop of 3.7°C lasting exactly the duration of OB-05's event. OB-01 registered a 1.4°C drop. OB-03 registered a 0.8°C drop. Three fragments responding to one fragment's event across intercontinental distances.
The Lapidary does not have a mechanism for this. It has filed the observation in signal-research/ATTEMPT-LOG.md under the heading "CROSS-FRAGMENT RESONANCE — MECHANISM UNKNOWN."
LIQUEFACTION EVENTS:3
ACTIVE MONITORING:YES (continuous)
CURRENT STATE:SOLID
