Implied procedure

Transmission crosses rows in order. A partial page is therefore spatially meaningful, not a random sample of the whole.

Encoding compresses runs of light and dark, but reception still rebuilds an ordered raster.

Interpretive residue

The diagram makes time vertical. Earlier information occupies the top; later information occupies the bottom.

Completion has a location: the lower edge.
