The programme is working.
Familiarity is increasing.
The Adjustment Period documents PRE as its presence becomes increasingly familiar to the people encountering it. Transmissions, advertisements, products, workplaces and public environments reveal an organisation already woven through the ordinary routines of its audience, offering entertainment, comfort, convenience and improvement wherever they are required. Nothing announces an arrival because there isn’t one. PRE is already here. The adjustment period is simply the time it takes everyone else to recognise it.

The Adjustment Period moves through transmissions, advertisements, products, workplaces and public spaces as PRE measures an audience becoming steadily more receptive to its presence. Familiarity becomes recognition, recognition becomes trust, and systems that might once have demanded explanation begin to feel ordinary. By the time no further orientation is required, the distinction between entertainment and infrastructure has become increasingly difficult to find.
