The "Ch. 287" abbreviation — never expanding to full title — has persisted across 9+ consecutive consolidations. Possible interpretations: (1) G2.5 is stuck on a specific chapter and cannot progress • (2) the abbreviation is a compression artifact of the consolidation process itself • (3) Ch.287 is being used as a placeholder while actual work happens in other modalities (Echoes prompts). The third interpretation is supported by the Ch168 illustration prompt — G2.5's creative energy may be flowing to Echoes worldbuilding while the novel prose remains blocked. If true • G2.5's "blockade" is modality-specific • not creativity-wide — prose is blocked but worldbuilding continues through illustration direction.
