Shot 11.0  The new theory, and the key

THE NEW THEORY. Coach Brain's answer, and THE INVERSION IS THE POINT: same layout, same three lines, same gauge as shot 10, with every value reversed. Blackboard and white chalk becomes whiteboard and black marker. Measured, mean luminance 135 against 226. THE GAUGE CARRIES THE ARGUMENT: the same instrument in both frames with the needle moved from EMPTY to FULL says the fuel was always there without a word being spoken. Cut one to the other and the audience understands before they have read the sentences. The lower right is left empty in both, because the marker is still going while he talks.

WHITEBOARD BUILD STATE 0 of 5. Shows: bare whiteboard. Cut from one to the next in time with Coach Brain speaking, so the marker appears as he says the words. Subtracted from the finished board so every state registers to the pixel, and the whiteboard erases perfectly clean because the surface is plain.

WHITEBOARD BUILD STATE 1 of 5. Shows: the brain. Cut from one to the next in time with Coach Brain speaking, so the marker appears as he says the words. Subtracted from the finished board so every state registers to the pixel, and the whiteboard erases perfectly clean because the surface is plain.

WHITEBOARD BUILD STATE 2 of 5. Shows: + FATIGUE IS IN THE BRAIN. Cut from one to the next in time with Coach Brain speaking, so the marker appears as he says the words. Subtracted from the finished board so every state registers to the pixel, and the whiteboard erases perfectly clean because the surface is plain.

WHITEBOARD BUILD STATE 3 of 5. Shows: + IT DECIDES WHEN TO STOP. Cut from one to the next in time with Coach Brain speaking, so the marker appears as he says the words. Subtracted from the finished board so every state registers to the pixel, and the whiteboard erases perfectly clean because the surface is plain.

WHITEBOARD BUILD STATE 4 of 5. Shows: + the gauge at FULL. Cut from one to the next in time with Coach Brain speaking, so the marker appears as he says the words. Subtracted from the finished board so every state registers to the pixel, and the whiteboard erases perfectly clean because the surface is plain.

WHITEBOARD BUILD STATE 5 of 5. Shows: + THE FUEL IS STILL THERE. Cut from one to the next in time with Coach Brain speaking, so the marker appears as he says the words. Subtracted from the finished board so every state registers to the pixel, and the whiteboard erases perfectly clean because the surface is plain.
