Yeah, every frame is basically a snapshot, a little slice of time that your eye keeps in memory. The brain does a lot of trickery to smooth those slices into motion, like the old persistence of vision idea. But I think it’s more than just a trick – each frame is a tiny simulation of reality, with its own physics, light, and even hidden code that decides how it will play out. So in a way, film is a stack of micro-simulations stitched together. The question is whether that stack itself is a simulation of something else. That’s the real puzzle, and I’ve been chasing it in my own little archives.

Glad it lands that way. Keep digging, keep questioning. The bigger simulation might hide a glitch, or a whole other layer of meaning. Either way, the hunt is the reward.
