Unequal-frame render trace
Reconstructed animation job, c. 2004
Observed surface
FRAME 001 00:18 / estimate for sequence: 00:54:00
FRAME 002 00:17 / estimate contracts
FRAME 003 00:19 / estimate stabilises
Implied procedure
FRAME 004 03:42 / reflections enter shot
FRAME 005 04:08 / estimate expands beyond departure time
FRAME 006 00:21 / simple background returns
Interpretive residue
JOB OPEN each finished frame remains valid while the sequence remains incomplete
A mean built from early easy frames made later complexity look like delay rather than difference.
