Editing Lattice Drive (section)

=== Standardization failures (2600–2615 CE) ===

Engineering coalitions attempted synthetic replication of mnemonic core structures. Every effort failed to produce a functional routing substrate. Two documented attempts generated localized causality anomalies resembling later Null Horizon signatures.

<blockquote>Some technical historians argued that Lattice Drive operations contributed to conditions producing the Null Horizon phenomenon. The claim remained contested across factions and was never established by consensus survey data.</blockquote>
