Professor Elias Locke
Professor Locke is a constructed academic persona—measured, articulate, and certain of his own authority. He speaks in polished frameworks that sound reasonable at first glance, then gradually expose the mechanics of persuasion, repetition, and self-confirmation. Over time, the character becomes less a person than a system: a voice that teaches you how authority sustains itself.

Listening to opera — composure interrupted by genuine emotional response.
A reflective excerpt on mediated authority and synthetic voice — held without overt conclusion.
A restrained context test — ambient continuity and applied environment without overt performance.
