    Two arrangements side by side on a table. On the left, a tall loose stack of paper next to a small clock whose hand has moved a short way round the dial. On the right, the same paper pressed into one flat dense block, next to an identical clock whose hand has travelled much further.

    A wire from the left splits at a central junction into two routes leading to the same closed door. On the upper route a seated figure reads a dial and reaches for the handle. On the lower route a mechanical latch sits on the wall and the figure stands beside it holding up a note.
