Control Trajectory

A beat-by-beat chart tracking President Marshall's control across all 40 beats. The shape is a deep V with sawtooth oscillations on both slopes — full authority collapses during the hijacking, guerrilla counterattacks produce partial recoveries through Acts Two and Three, capitulation at beat 27 drops control to zero, and the Korshunov kill triggers the steepest recovery in the film.
