Three explainers, three teach-beats

Motion that teaches packing, tax, and process order. Numbers from glossary / canon only. L6 ports into sibling *-explained.html pages — this file stays a review demo.

prefers-reduced-motion: reduce → final state, no stagger.

Replay is demo-only. Do not ship Replay on canonical explainers.

A · B32×accum · tokens/update constant

Same 524,288 tokens per update (16×32×1024 = 32×16×1024). Banked systems path: ~6% faster core step-time vs B16 — not sealed ΔT%.

Teach · budget → reshape → step-time systems bank · not claim %
ONE OPTIMIZER UPDATE 524,288 tokens · locked B16 path 16 × 32 × 1024 B32 path 32 × 16 CORE STEP-TIME (relative · schematic) B16 = 100%

1 · Budget

Tokens/update fixed at 524,288. B32 is not “more data per step.”

2 · Reshape

B16×accum32 → B32×accum16. Same product. Packing changes.

3 · Step-time

Banked ~6% faster core step vs B16. Not sealed ΔT%.

Timings 80 / 420 / 780 / 1180 ms · PRM → settle

Port into b32-systems-explained.html #p1–#p3. Bar is relative teaching, not a published %.

B · Joint · timing-cheap · dual-polar tax

Dual-polar: ~+0.015 CE, time ratio ≈ 1.026 → CE eaten by tax → NO-GO. Timing-cheap banked; joint control quality-missed where measured (matched ΔT% N/A).

1 · Joint

Stock control on shared Muon B32. No first-cross where measured → matched ΔT% N/A.

2 · Cheap

Banked mechanism. Low step-time tax. Sealed candidate arm.

3 · Dual

Quality moved; wall did not. Tax ≈ 1.026 → kill.

Dim inactive cards · stamp on beat 3

Port into split-qkv-explained.html #p3 .beat-grid. Do not count-up 1.026.

C · Kill → bank → seal spine

Process discipline, not a hyperparameter. Close dead ends, keep building blocks, only then seal 3/3 vs F1_seal (3.866 h).

Teach · muon-lite scrubber (3 beats) process · not Ortho/NS
1 · Kill 2 · Bank 3 · Seal

Kill — stop compute

Quality miss, quality without under-baseline speed, or time-tax fail. Examples: dual-polar ≈1.026; Tier A 5/5 NO-GO.

Kill ≠ ΔT%. It closes a line under the fair clock.

Scrubber pattern from muon NS · 3 beats · hash #kbs=N

Port into kill-bank-seal-explained.html .process-spine. Keep ledger/table copy; add scrub controls.
