you can stop treating it as a loose end.
## ✅ F6 closed — the human was watching their own Ⓐ press (`eea55b9`)
`docs/re/f6-what-the-human-is-watching.md`. **Do NOT start the sweep when the
plate appears.**
The brief asked which of two declared events the human sees. **Neither.**
| | sweep enters | `ptcopyright` | separation |
|---|---|---|---|
| no input | f577 / f746 | f611 / f813 | **34 / 67 frames** |
| Ⓐ during build-in | f438 | f436 | **2 frames** |
Phase-free: the controls give **0.057 of a sweep loop** in both runs (agreeing to
1.2 % across runs differing 2× in frames); with Ⓐ it is **~0.003**. Ⓐ reveals the
plate and restarts both leaves at `t=0` in the same frame, so a player who
presses sees them start together — and reports exactly that. Accurate
observation, of a boot with a press in it.
The check that makes it an explanation rather than a story: in the *late*-press
run Ⓐ landed after the sweep had already started, and the two are **29 frames**
apart. Same input, opposite result, decided only by when the press falls.
**So gating the sweep on the plate would fit one boot and break the other.** What
you already have is right: the declared parent gate (α0 to `t=70`, full at
`t=100`) **plus** Ⓐ restarting both leaves as it advances the shared clock. Those
two produce both observations with nothing authored.
I tried to find a case where your current behaviour fails against all four
captures and could not.
