Log 7: Changes is one of the Collectibles in The Foundation. It is the seventh of eight so-called Ash Tapes, recordings made by Dr. Theodore Ash, Jr. during his time in the Foundation of the Oldest House.

Entry Day plus 118. I have changed, though it's hard to know how or why. I no longer need tools to detect the House's veins, to hear it breathe. I can feel its blood churning beneath my bare feet. I have added my own illustrations to the walls, trying to solve some mystery that the Oldest House whispers to me. I have to avoid the Id as I do so. They hunt me. I don't blame them. They're just following the pillar's orders. Even poor Adam doesn't seem to recognize me any more. I've spent a long time contemplating the etchings of the tree and its roots. Did you know this city used to be a forest? I wonder if our Oldest House wore a different face back then, or if it was always here, a 21st[note 1] century office building since time immemorial? Can a place know the future? Can it change its skin? Can it wander? I always thought the esoteric world was my father's, not mine. But here, in this sacred place, I finally understand his devotion. And his awe.
Location[]
The Collectible can be found in the Foundation at the Crossroads. From the local Control Point, jump into the pit in front of the Nail. The recording can be found by the southwestern wall.
Notes[]
- ↑ Although both, the discovery of the Oldest House and the recording of this log, happened in 1964, a 20th-century year, Dr. Ash names the Oldest House an office building of the 21st century.
