A 12 second loop. Three cards sit in a row: pressure, a decision trap, and a pause. A margin bar runs underneath. A blue marker starts at the pressure card, where a clock spins, a dark cloud rolls in and a battery runs low, and the margin starts to shrink. The marker moves to the trap card, which acts out the selected trap. Confirmation bias: a magnifier checks only the good news and skips the bad line. Plan continuation: a route presses on past a turn-back line. Risky shift: three people nod together while a shared risk dial climbs higher than any one of them would go. Screen fixation: the eye stays locked on the screen while the drone drifts off. The margin bar turns red. The marker then speeds toward the pause card, where a gate drops and stops it. WHAT HAS CHANGED? appears, the marker turns green and the margin refills. Schematic and fictional. The still frame shows plan continuation stopped at the pause.
