The Kadeer–Wasym Limit
A finite clock under the shared century. It only moves forward — and the remaining span compresses.
The Kadeer–Wasym Limit is the anthology's singularity clock: the computational singularity is finite — calculated in the ~2060s at roughly 470 years — and runs in three phases: Acceleration (begun ~2037, still current in 2067), Instability, and Resolution (collapse, domination, or a fragile resonance). Named for Dr. Sahir Kadeer and Dr. Daniyal Wasym, who co-postulated it; later formalized in the Gamma Archives. The clock only moves forward — time can be bought, it cannot be bought back — and late in canon it accelerates its own rate: when Daniyal reruns the math in 2067, the promised centuries revise themselves downward (470 → 218 → 217 → 211).
Canon dates the onset of remaining-span compression to early 1955, without assigning it a numbered reading. The attested values remain the ~2060s 470 calculation and Daniyal Wasym's 2067 revision sequence.
Companion to the Timeline. Every numbered station is attested; broad phases remain broad where canon gives no exact date.
Forward-only · remaining span · never reverse
Move one instrument through its attested stations. The line carries an observation into a rerun, a revised remaining window to the Limit — it can only compress. Time can be bought; it cannot be bought back.

Remaining span
470/ 470 yr
Limit calculated
The computational singularity is found to be finite — roughly 470 years — in three phases: Acceleration, Instability, Resolution.
Broad canonical phase; no exact year attested.
- Observation
A finite computational ceiling enters the record.
- Model rerun
Kadeer–Wasym formalization resolves a remaining span.
- Revised remaining span
470 years
- Human consequence
A distant ceiling becomes a governable deadline.
Phase spine · Acceleration → Instability → Resolution
Compression onset
Remaining-span values begin collapsing here (canon). 2067 revision stations attest the already-collapsing number. No remaining-years figure for 1955 yet.
Acceleration begins
Compute outpaces comprehension. This phase is still running in 2067.
Limit named
Kadeer–Wasym Limit calculated at ~470 years.
Late Acceleration
Year Zero — tipping toward Instability. The remaining span compresses: 470 → 218 → 217 → 211.
Instability
Canonical broad phase: values lag behind capability; no exact onset year is attested.
Resolution
Collapse, domination, or a fragile resonance. Canon does not assign a calendar date here.
Attestation note
These are discrete canonical readings, not continuous live telemetry. Reviewing an earlier record does not reverse or re-inflate the in-world clock.
