The Decoder withdrew 0.514: captured frames are presents and the present rate
differs per run -- the same animation took 1168 frames in one capture and 600 in
another, 1.947x apart, with that run's own baseline moving 1.953x alongside. So
it measured the capture's pacing, not the game. rate is null again (identity).
📌 The tell was there before the withdrawal and neither of us weighed it. The
human said the animation itself LOOKS correct. A port running 1.0x against a real
0.514x would be twice too fast and they would have said so. Their impression was
evidence against the number and both of us recorded it as a puzzle instead. A
human's impression is weak about magnitudes and strong about gross wrongness.
start_units 40 kept but marked provisional: two captures agree in RATIO form,
which needs no clock and survives the withdrawal, but converting the ratio to
title units needs the title rate, and that is itself in conflict (1.0 units/frame
from ptcopyright's ramp against 0.571 from the plate's, 1.75x apart).
Kept rather than reverted because 0 is not a measurement either -- it is the
unexamined assumption that the leaf shares the screen's clock.
Authored decisions
Everything here is a decision we made, not something the disc said. It is
hand-written, committed, and survives a re-export — unlike export/, which is
regenerated wholesale and must never be hand-edited.
Every entry carries a why. When the RE agent decodes the real answer, delete
the entry and let the exporter emit it; that deletion is the measure of
progress.
See docs/FORMAT.md for the schemas and docs/BLOCKED.md for which HANDOFF
question each placeholder is standing in for.
