Candor’s founder uses music to make residents conform, while Oscar secretly helps some people escape.
Mind-controlling music supplies the mechanism by which Candor keeps residents “on-message”.

This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
Anything not established here remains open; it is not being treated as absent or safe.
