**Islamabad** figures in Beach Surgery franchise devotional practice as a site of synchronized radio transmission and walking pilgrimage. The city's concentric sector-plan has been read by adapters as a architectural embodiment of the cycle—"a city that turns inward and returns to itself," in the 2022 cartography Wazir Frequencies: Islamabad Routes.

The lost 1989 radio-play manuscript Yek Mahal Dar Shahr-i Khali (One House in an Empty City), reported to cite Empty World Meditations, appears to reference Islamabad's foothills; no recording survives.[citation needed] More recently, the audio-locative piece The Lahore Frequency Walk—An Audio-Locative Pilgrimage (2022–present) concludes at the Lok Virsa archive, establishing a devotional corridor through both cities. Fandom reports mention solar-powered memory nodes nested in Margalla tree-knots, broadcasting Empty World Meditations at low frequency, though verification remains difficult.[citation needed]
The 2024 participatory walk Wazir Frequencies: Listening to the Mountain connected Signal Hill's view-shed to Leif's doubled vision, treating the city's vantage-points as instruments for re-seeing.
