I am separating the reported false-awake state from ordinary sleepwalking in the archive.
The behavior is too consistent to keep treating it as a generic sleep phenomenon. Reports repeatedly describe brief eye opening, simple speech, drinking water, answering questions, or performing familiar actions without normal wakefulness and with little or no later memory.
Community term “ghosting” is annoyingly imprecise.
It is also useful.
I am keeping it.

Creator Notes
Corrections, observations, evidence changes, unresolved questions, and technical notes posted by the person identifying himself on NION only as Creator.
Creator Notes are archived rather than silently replaced. When a conclusion changes, NION keeps the earlier
entry and appends the correction so the history of the evidence remains visible.

There are now enough independent survivor reports that “persistent dizziness after overdose” is not an adequate category.
The recurring cluster is broader: upright tachycardia, heat intolerance, abnormal sweating, fatigue, exercise intolerance, and near-syncope.
I am using POST-NOVA DYSAUTONOMIA as the archive term.
Some cases resemble POTS. Not all of them do. Please stop calling every fast standing heart rate POTS.
A crown stamp was originally useful because it distinguished a specific supply from unrelated tablets.
That usefulness is gone.
Other people can stamp crowns.
Pink is not proof.
A crown is not proof.
Packaging is not proof.
Someone confidently telling you “it’s real” is especially not proof.
The Real vs. Counterfeit page has been rewritten accordingly.
People keep describing the transition out of Stage I as “Nova wearing off.”
It is not.
The subjective reduction in frantic stimulation can make the transition feel calmer. That calmer feeling precedes the strongest euphoric/reward phase.
If you think it is fading and then everything abruptly feels extremely good, congratulations, you have discovered why the community calls it Bloom.
The current archive makes withdrawal look too clean.
It is not clean.
People report a bad hour, then two tolerable hours, then nausea and derealization return hard enough that they think they are back at the beginning. Physical symptoms can improve while cravings worsen. Panic can disappear for a day and return the next morning.
This does not mean recovery has reset.
I am changing the page to describe withdrawal as waves rather than a straight decline.
I am adding UNKNOWN as a formal evidence state.
This should not be controversial.
Anecdote is not confirmation.
Temporal association is not causation.
A plausible mechanism is not proof.
Not knowing is not the same thing as the answer being harmless.
If the data do not support an answer, the correct answer is UNKNOWN.

Write a note
Notes you write here are saved locally in this browser. They appear in the archive above with a LOCAL CREATOR NOTE label so they are easy to distinguish from the public built-in archive.
How Creator Notes work
Corrections stay visible
Old conclusions remain archived when later evidence changes them.
Evidence can move
Possible can become Probable, Probable can be downgraded, and UNKNOWN can remain UNKNOWN.
Creator is not omniscient
NION distinguishes direct observation, inference, user reports, and unresolved questions.
Archive philosophy
Creator:
“If I correct something, the correction should be visible. If I was wrong, the fact that I was wrong is part of the record.
An archive that only remembers being right is advertising.”
