At the final threshold, nine distinct Godbeasts sustain their own rhythms without collapsing into one body; the proposed tenth Chord is the relation among them and the unoccupied Arc, present only as consent—not a separate pet, glamour portrait, or supreme creature.

Locally grounded function
Source · 10 Chords
The local Source record grounds meta-consciousness, all-element embodiment, Source connection, and participation rather than possession, but leaves the physical form canon-pending.
Morphology under test
Hold the candidate. Do not promote it to canon.
Unresolved ontology candidate — locked repo canon names Source as Shinkami's Godbeast, while the creator proposal replaces a tenth creature with the relational convergence silhouette of all nine Godbeasts plus the Arc.

The contradiction must be resolved first.
Locked repo canon names Source as Shinkami's Godbeast; the creator proposal says Shinkami has no separate beast and defines a nine-being convergence instead.
Required authority
Human canon decision with a versioned reconciliation receipt.
Open physical identity
ontology: separate Source Godbeast versus nine-being convergence
whether any convergence silhouette is visible and under what conditions
how ten countable Chords can be legible without erasing nine distinct identities
material, scale, viewpoint, and duration of a relation rather than a body
the visual boundary between participation, possession, fusion, and ownership
Required reviews
Creator explicitly accepts, amends, or rejects the tested morphology candidate against locked canon and the local Godbeast record
Identity review records the accepted clade, Chord anatomy, limb count, face and sensory architecture, locomotion, scale, ecology, and material system before issuing a reference master
Grayscale silhouette, orthographic anatomy, action, habitat, and bonded-dyad studies must agree before any public identity approval
The solo plate holds one proposed topology steady long enough to test silhouette, Chord count, material function, locomotion, and ecology. The dyad then tests reciprocal sovereignty with the bonded Guardian. Neither study may become an identity master while morphology remains provisional.
