BEAT BOARD — the telling’s structure, measured · acts → sequences → beats on the presentation axis · every arc = (signal, target, tolerance) · RETIME and INTERLEAVE land pencil→ink and the curves re-derive
the telling as a surface: acts → sequences → beats tile the presentation axis, frame width = compiled extent × retime · lanes below are the §4.6 loop — an arc is (signal, target, tolerance), targets are authored steps (a mark holds until the next), measured actuals re-derive from the board · presence carries no authored target — a signal may be lifted to an arc; unlifted it reads as the bare instrument · the board opens with one finding: “the hold” runs slack against the pacing target — select it, RETIME ×½, and watch the gap heal and the landing slide a frame early onto the climax's marks (fix the middle, move the landing — the braid is one fabric) · select “the passage” and INTERLEAVE ⋈ it with the parallel shore strand — the beats alternate (the hairpin), the hold's gap survives the reorder because interleaving repositions, it does not repace · every op lands pencil→ink in THE OPS with its compile receipts; refusals (a foreign strand, a dead factor) land there too — never silent
