The B experience begins with the social film, continues through its scene-by-scene argument, and ends with the original web interaction.
Let a smart environment act while preserving explanation, authorization, override and recovery.
RN conceived the question, structured the evidence boundaries, designed the experience, implemented the prototype and documented its limits.
This independent prototype demonstrates an approach; it is not a deployed client system, professional advice or proof of real-world outcomes.
Watch the film first, then move through the scene-by-scene argument, then open the web interaction at the end. Each stage restates the same question at a different resolution, so the sequence matters more here than on the A side. You can leave at any stage and still have the whole argument.
The build overview sets out the question, the purpose, the role and the evidence status in one place, and the public record behind it states what changed, what another person can reuse and what supports the system. If you want to judge how far this build should be trusted, the record is the page to read, not this one.
