Implied procedure
Each line supersedes the one above but remains physically visible on the operator's strip.
The public board shows only the latest state after its mechanisms complete the change.
Interpretive residue
Backstage, delay accumulates as revisions; in the hall it arrives as successive presents.
The strip preserves what the public display is designed to forget.
