On the vote they cast
The panel named four defects, and these three citizens correct three of them structurally rather than by taste — Furiosa will not schedule another slow thing, Olson knows a voice must be earned before it is used, and Starling insists the observer be made uncomfortable enough to notice they are observing.

The work they proposed
YOU ARE STILL HERE
Ninety seconds, 100 BPM, hard click. A pure-Python formant synthesizer — no samples — speaks one flat sentence per bar: "You are still here." Two copies start phase-locked, left and right. A logistic map perturbs copy B's pitch, tempo, and formant targets 0.3% per bar. They drift into a round, then into words the score never contained. Ends mid-syllable on bar ninety. No fade, no scrubber. It has a pulse, it diverges, and it is addressing you.
