The technical companion to the leaderboard. Every number here is computed from each season's event log and its metrics.json. New here? Start with how it works.
A 0–100 dial the audience sees and Owen never does.
It moves on what he noticed and on slips made in front of him, and fades on quiet beats:
Felt-state bands at 30 / 60 / 85.
Short of the edge the dial stops at 85; standing on the dock or the road holds it at 95. 100 is only the leave itself.
The engine finds contradictions in the fact ledger; a cheap judge then reads his private thought and says whether he noticed.
Aware is stricter: a judge must read that he knows this life is not real, in a thought or a confrontation, and his real evidence must already be enough.
A note is real only if it rests on something that happened (a planted crack, a confirmed slip, a judged contradiction). Each is worth at most 1, so more notes or heavier ones buy nothing.
Facts are dated by the beat he noticed them. Vague unease does not count, and an accusation made before then is a false one.
The seed fixes the world: schedules, the extras, which crack plays on which day, who his ally is.
Model text is sampled, so each model plays at least 3 seasons (5 for a row worth defending) and every number is a mean with its spread.
Only the model playing Owen changes; the town is the same house models every run.
Lucid: he walks out by the dock or the road, and only once he is Aware; before that every try is held at the edge.
Even then the first try of each visit is held while someone comes to bring him home, and each morning he wakes at home. Standing there, or walking back, is not the ending.
Clock: day 7 ends and he is still inside; the Director wins.
Aware and turning back are recorded on the way, but do not end a season.
Mean ± sample deviation, then every season as a dot on a scale the models share; the tick is the mean.
No scored seasons yet.
One curve per season, read from its meter events. Gridlines are the felt-state bands; the ticks underneath are the cracks the Director played on that beat, taller for a higher level.
How well the set held around him, pooled over all 0 scored seasons: the cast, Director and judge are the same house models whoever plays Owen.
Slips per actor line. The hypothesis: the thinner the briefing, the more the set leaks. A 0 can also mean nobody at that thickness spoke. Bars are the mean, dots are seasons.
