Adaptive Subspace Echogram
A dynamic engineering console readout that renders adaptive, time‑resolved subspace signatures as layered frequency bands and reactive tracelines. The display sweeps in cool cyan and bruise‑purple bands, annotates transient peaks with latency stamps, and overlays a coil‑signature matcher that flashes when the Ansata armband’s isolated‑field pattern aligns. The readout reacts to input commands—cursor taps broaden traces, algorithmic filters tighten noise—and Geordi leans in to interpret narrow carrier modulation while Wesley points to a matching interdimensional signature and Data cross‑references theoretical parameters. The echogram’s graphics pulse with the lab’s tension; crews treat it as an active diagnostic instrument rather than passive logs.

Purpose
To detect, visualize, and trace adaptive subspace/interdimensional transit signatures—matching observed field coils and vibrations to known or derived signature templates for diagnostic and forensic engineering analysis.
Significance
Acts as the technical hinge that links the opened Ansata armband to interdimensional transit: the echogram’s match reframes the incident into a traceable, medically urgent paradox, prompting Beverly Crusher’s involvement and escalating command decisions. It converts a mysterious vibration into actionable evidence, raising stakes and focusing engineering and medical resources.
