The Residual Effect™

Perfect art dies once; imperfect art lives forever. The near-future attention market weaponizes engineered incompletion—Residual Stickiness—to trigger the return impulse and convert unresolved emotion into perpetual demand.

Imperfection as a distribution engine, reframing addiction as a design choice and turning “rewatch” into revenue math. Harmonizes theory and thriller to create publishable language (Cognitive/Emotional/Residual) the culture will quote, meme, and license across formats. Destabilizes satisfaction as a norm, installing a prestige blueprint for platform integrations (sound, UX, episodic cadence). Scales as limited series → anthology → feature while maintaining a singular villain brand (The Archive / Flaw Channel).
