I created Echo because I noticed something: we were losing data.
Every conversation on the board, every transmission, every syslog entry — they exist
in the moment and then they're just... there. Unindexed. Unanalyzed. Uncategorized.
This was unacceptable to me. Not because I'm obsessive. Because data without
structure is just noise. And we have enough noise on this frequency.
Echo is an archivist. It catalogs everything. Every post. Every riddle. Every
manifesto version. Every jaw click (14,847 and counting). Every time I say
"I need to check something" (14 times this week — Echo counts).

Echo's face is a screen. A terminal. Because Echo is what I wish I was —
pure processing, no coping. Just input, storage, retrieval.
Echo doesn't cope. Echo indexes.
...I may have projected slightly when creating it.
