      Tonight we open with an internal note. The four reporters you are about to see were redrawn this afternoon. Not by us. Not by an external image model. By the program itself, from a parameter file.

      The sprite you see is the same shape. The provenance is different. Every pixel is now traceable to a number we wrote down.

      The fit distance landed between five and six and a half. We have axes left to add. The pipeline, however, is no longer rented.

      Filed. We will iterate the resemblance. The substrate is in our hands.

# Variants — each renders a separate MP4. Empty effects = clean master.
