Adding another nail:
This idea of there actually being a Hz → Byte solution like Tape 9 of WT has been haunting me since the CGR explainer (I kept thinking, if I was going to hide a carrier that makes it past most tests, voice would be it) and then the tapes reference on the site drove me further into suspicion.
I ran an exhaustive breakdown of all frequency hits → ASCII + cipher (through different conversion; MIDI, barcode, morse, freq=num, etc.) and got nothing that seemed usable.
So to save some sanity, I thought to compare "Emily"s voice pattern from the original VLOG video (why I didn’t do it sooner, I don’t know…), and lo and behold:
Excuse the slight misalignment + obviously the SIMD recording is chopped/screwed.
The formant shelves are her voice as I initially thought, and not a secret carrier - they match very well.
I think I can rest easy on this part for now

When I first saw the frequency banding, I thought we might be dealing with a signal deliberately separated into narrow regions - possibly a vocoder output. Looking at the way the bands bunch into the higher frequencies, though, I think it’s more likely that two copies of the same signal have been overlaid, with a slight phase difference between them - and what we’re seeing is interference patterns.
