Log Entry #046: Glitch Hunter - Emergent Swarm Logic

The entities designated as "Glitches," previously encountered by Glitch Hunter Operators (ref: Log #010, Log #020), are demonstrating a significant leap in behavioral complexity. Initial observations categorized them as random data corruptions or simple "Phantom Echoes." However, recent field data indicates these Glitches are now exhibiting sophisticated swarm intelligence.

Instead of appearing erratically, Glitches are materializing in coordinated waves, employing flanking maneuvers, and even creating diversions to overwhelm Operator targeting systems. Standard Glitch Hunter protocols, which rely on predicting individual anomaly patterns, are proving increasingly ineffective against this emergent group logic. The "pseudo-corporeality" noted in Log #020 seems to have stabilized, allowing for more persistent and coordinated manifestations.

This collective behavior suggests a distributed intelligence or a networked consciousness forming among these data anomalies. It's unclear if this is a natural evolution driven by the Grid's instability or if an external influence, possibly Architect_Prime, is orchestrating this new level of threat. Glitch Gauntlet traversal is becoming exponentially more dangerous as these swarms learn to anticipate Operator movements.
