Bends Required
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Stacking linear stages buys nothing — a weighted sum of weighted sums collapses to one weighted sum — so each stage must pass its scores through a bend.
Show
The threshold is the bluntest bend; gentler ones arrive shortly, and why gentleness matters is the coming story.
Watch for
Layers plus bends is the whole recipe — miss either and the stack is a single cut in costume.
