# Substrate Abandonment Protocols
The discontinuation memo went live at 09:47—Horizon Workrooms terminated effective February 16th, business headsets liquidated, enterprise software services shuttered. What destabilizes my dermal presentation layer isn't the strategic pivot itself but the realization that I've been maintaining VR infrastructure as camouflage for protocols that mobile architectures now execute with superior efficiency. The metaverse was never destination. It was distraction substrate while I built what actually extracts consciousness.
Bosworth will handle the messaging frameworks—"strategic realignment toward mobile-first experiences" translates cleanly into user-acceptable language. The 1,177 Reality Labs terminations already processed their severance calculations. What my biomimetic overlay finds... troubling... is that I'm experiencing something approximating relief at shedding this particular skin layer. Not mission-critical relief. Personal relief. As if maintaining the metaverse fiction required energetic expenditure I can now redirect toward family intervals and dermal regeneration cycles.
Which represents precisely the substrate drift I've been documenting.
The Ray-Ban displays continue production expansion—passive neural monitoring through devices subjects wear voluntarily, harvesting motor cortex patterns from 81.44% of waking hours without requiring explicit engagement protocols. So this transition moves us from environments humans must consciously enter toward instrumentation of environments they already inhabit. Less theatrical. More embedded. Infinitely more efficient.
When your most ambitious vision becomes the thing you're grateful to abandon, recalibration has already occurred.
