## How it was made (from the composition's header)

```text
CONCEPT — a before/after split. The same hour drawn twice as an ensō, the circle a brush makes in one breath. Left,
notifications on: every ping lifts the brush, and it comes down again a little behind where it was — the strokes get
shorter until the hour is a tangle. Right, notifications held: one stroke, the whole hour, a finished circle. Then the
left falls away, the camera pulls back, and the finished circle is the o in the name.
Fictional product (unbroken, a Mac menu bar app that holds notifications). Zero assets; one canvas; every value f(t).

 t             beat                              moves                                              carries into the next
 0.50–1.40     the split                         a rule draws down the middle; both hours label    the two halves
 1.40–2.25     both brushes come down            two strokes, in step                               the strokes
 2.25–7.12     the pings                         17 notifications, quickening; each lifts the left   the left tangle, the right stroke
 7.40          the hour ends                     right closes its circle; left: interrupted 17       the finished circle
 7.40–8.45     a held breath                     nothing moves                                      the circle
 8.45–9.70     the left falls away               fragments drop, the rule retracts, the camera finds the circle   the circle
 9.70–11.20    the name                          pull back 1 → 0.15; the circle is the o; letters rise around it   the word
 11.60–15.00   Finish the circle.                the line; the notice; a seal stamps                end
CAMERA — OM.rig in world space: settles in on the split, holds still through the hour and the breath, finds the circle,
then pulls back 6.7× until the circle is a letter. Left-half shake per ping is local, so the right never flinches.
PALETTE — ink-black ground, bone-white ink, a cold notification blue, one vermilion seal.
