Serial work: what each tool documents about continuity

Locking written as a verb, with no object left behind

The page states that it locks characters' faces across every episode, syncs dialogue to lip movement and assembles everything on a timeline. Three verbs, no nouns: the tool is described by what it does rather than by what it keeps. As of 2026-09-22.

Inclusion rule. Three points per reading: the sentence as the vendor published it, the thing that sentence names, and what it declines to settle. Nothing here is inferred from an interface or a demo. Order. From the published sentence, to what it names, to what it leaves open.

1Verbs describe a service, nouns describe an asset

A page written in verbs is telling a buyer the work will be done for them, which is a reasonable thing to sell. A page written in nouns is telling them where the work is kept, which is what a second operator needs on their first morning.

Both can produce the same footage. They differ in what a production owns afterwards, and that is the distinction the evidence grade is recording.

2Lip movement in the same sentence is a different kind of continuity

Syncing dialogue to lip movement is continuity within a shot rather than between episodes, and it is the failure a viewer spots fastest. Putting it beside the episode-level lock bundles two problems that are solved at different scales.

The register keeps them together because the vendor did, and notes that the sentence therefore answers a short-range question and a long-range one with the same verb.
