Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The daffodil's radio-triggered lethal activation in Episode 4 parallels the Keller Machine's radio/pulsing imagery-induced psychological attack in Episode 6 — both use subtle signals/radio waves to control or harm."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Episode 4 introduces the concept of radio signals being used as a hidden, widespread mechanism for control (daffodils). In Episode 6, the Keller Machine uses radio-like pulsing imagery to project fear, targeting Benton. This parallel underscores a theme: hidden signals as weapons of control, evolving from mechanical to psychological.
