20th Harmonic (The Fine Thread — Micro‑Adjustments & Subtle Emotional Weaving): The 20th harmonic operates like a tiny tuning fork inside the emotional system — subtle, precise, and easily overlooked unless you’re listening closely.

What you might be blind to. Something just over your shoulder, out of sight, and beyond the periphery of your vision. A blind spot.
