Control Trajectory

A beat-by-beat chart tracking Truman's actual control across all 40 beats. The shape is an opening from zero: Truman starts with no real autonomy (his entire life is manufactured), and each glitch noticed, each experiment run, each escape attempted is a step up. Christof's countermeasures produce dips but buy less time with each deployment. The final arc -- sailboat, storm, wall, door -- is a near-vertical climb to 95.
