The concept of "world-occupying" isn't one rooted in geography, but in a far more profound and unsettling resonance. It began, as these things often do, with a shift—a subtle alteration in the fabric of perception. Initially, it manifested as an intensification of déjà vu, not the fleeting, nostalgic kind, but a crushing certainty that you’d *always* been here, in this precise moment, within this specific space.
It started with the architecture. Not grand monuments or sprawling cities, but the mundane—a chipped tile in a hallway, the way sunlight fractured through a dusty window, the particular pattern of rain on a corrugated roof. These elements began to vibrate with a strange familiarity, a quality that bordered on recognition, yet defied logical explanation. It was as if the world itself was subtly rearranging itself around you, perpetually familiar and utterly alien.
Phase One: The Echo
The initial reports, gleaned from a collective of individuals scattered across continents, described a similar experience. Each person felt a persistent 'echo' of events - not memories, but a visceral understanding of what *would* happen next. A dropped cup shattering on the floor before it fell, a stranger's hand reaching for a specific object, a conversation unfolding with unnerving accuracy. These weren't predictions, but pre-cognitions, experienced with a chilling, undeniable force. The world wasn’t changing; it was *revealing* itself.
Scientists, predictably, dismissed it as mass hysteria, neurological anomalies, or even elaborate hoaxes. But the reports persisted, growing in intensity and complexity. The echo became a chorus, a symphony of impossible knowledge. The more people who experienced it, the more pronounced it became, weaving itself into the very structure of reality.
Phase Two: The Imprint
Then came the Imprint. This was a far stranger phenomenon. Individuals began to find themselves unconsciously replicating the actions of others, not in a mimicking way, but as if compelled by an unseen force. A painter would suddenly begin to replicate a style they'd never studied, a musician would write melodies that echoed the compositions of deceased composers, a writer would pen stories mirroring the works of artists from different eras. The boundaries of creativity, of self, began to dissolve.
It wasn’t simply copying; it was a profound, intuitive understanding of another's creative process. The Imprint seemed to tap into a shared well of unconscious experience, a collective reservoir of human expression. The world was no longer just revealing itself; it was *becoming* itself, shaped by the cumulative actions and thoughts of countless individuals.
