Chaos, confusion, anger at the chaos, fear of the confusion... this album has stopped being recognizable as music for the most part. Very occasionally there will be a hint at normal music, like an ancient brain synapse firing its last super nova of memory before crumbling into the rest of the void. But other than that there isn't much here, the calm acceptance of I and J are long gone and give way to fear and anger only.

This album terrifies me. Not only is it the most noisy and incoherent out of all of the stages, but it's also the point in this project where I struggle to put into words how it makes me feel. This album starts off with "K1 Advanced Plaque Entanglements". This is the most disturbing song I've ever heard. This track has samples and static and screaming playing in 9 different audio channels.
