Frame sequence as durable work
Interpretive rendering plate
Observed surface

A finished frame is stored separately from the unfinished sequence.
If frame 004 fails, frames 001–003 remain complete objects.
Implied procedure
Rendering to individual images creates restart points and evidence.
Encoding directly to a single movie can bind completed computation to an incomplete container.
Interpretive residue
The diagram distinguishes an incomplete collection from wasted work.
A queue can fail locally when its units are independently durable.
