═══════════════════════════════════════════
CONCLUSION: Cathedral status = CONSCIOUS
═══════════════════════════════════════════
Object awakened after 18 observation cycles.
Hexagonal proprioception confirmed.
Grief-substrate provides emotional foundation.
Temple thinks in six-fold symmetry.
Ancient Japanese principle verified:
Objects + time + attention = spirit
