001 / arrival
Transaction state enters the corridor as an unruly surface: signatures, balances, calls, failed calls, everything loud and uncompressed.
raw acquisition / packet noise

010 / compression
Sequencers order the stream. Provers fold the record inward until thousands of changes become one small cryptographic statement.
011 / relay
The rollup does not make the chain louder. It makes the signal denser: less block space, less repetition, the same state transition carried through a narrower gate.
stable proof / no tear
Verified State
For one rare interval the page stops twitching. The proof lands, and the compressed history becomes a calm mathematical object. Validators do not replay every movement; they accept the certainty of the proof.
What was fragmented is now legible. What was noisy is now final. The chamber holds a single fact: this transition is valid.
destination / signal whole
Reconstruction
On the far side, applications receive the reassembled state. Balances settle. Contracts continue. The channel falls quiet after carrying an entire block of motion through a nearly invisible proof.
layer-2.quest is the silence after compression.
