Two captures of the same animation disagree on frame counts by 1.947x, so
frames are not comparable across runs. Expressed as ratios to a long
in-capture baseline, both runs agree: loop period = 13.93 baselines (0.35%
apart), and the sweep starts 0.79-0.80 baselines BEFORE the plate (0.9%).
This answers F6: the sweep does not start at t=0 as the port has it, nor
exactly with the plate -- it leads the plate by about 40 title units, under
a second, which is consistent with what the human reported seeing.
Surfaces a conflict rather than smoothing it: unit 8's title rate of 1.0
units/frame (from ptcopyright) and the plate's 0.571 units/frame are 1.75x
apart in the SAME capture. Either an element's declared ramp is misread or
the two are not on one clock -- the port's clock:"shared" premise. The
ratios stand without a clock; the title-unit conversions are 🟡 pending F4.
