THE MECHANISM

Spoken command → expressive act → measured result

03One owner per transition
→
04State machines make recovery explicit
→
05Demo quality is an evaluation protocol
FAILURE → REPAIR
Common trap

Better model

Shared clocks, stale messages, retries, ownership, network loss, and physical reset behavior are new system-level failure modes.
