Round 10 / Visual evidence
Two directions.
The same eight chapters.
Orbit is the new A WORLD WITHIN A WORD. Slate is the previous THE LAST MACHINE. The paired captures below are the stills submitted under anonymous labels to two fresh blind reviewers.
| Reviewer | Orbit | Slate |
|---|---|---|
| Judge 1 | 78 | 64 |
| Judge 2 | 77 | 58 |
| Mean | 77.5 | 61 |
Both reviewers preferred Orbit. This was a review of stills, not motion or measured performance.
The scores use this round’s rubric and are not comparable with earlier rounds.
Final contrast adjustments and city-travel polish followed the review. These captures preserve the reviewed state; the live experience includes the later refinements.
