Stories build like films, not slideshows.
“Energy builds through acts. Peaks in escalation. Drops in aftermath. No random spikes.”
MOMA enforces act-level energy governance across your entire story. It ensures that energy builds through setup acts, peaks in the escalation act, and drops in the aftermath — with no random spikes that would break the narrative arc. MOMA sets energy floors and ceilings for each act, and every shot within an act must respect those boundaries.
MOMA produces act governance inside the compiled IR: tone baseline, energy envelope, camera-motion ceiling, physics activation, and light bias. Shots inherit those boundaries, so an aftermath cannot jump back to peak intensity without a story reason. The escalation curve is deterministic.
This is the system that makes StoryDirector output feel like a directed film rather than a collection of disconnected clips. The energy progression is governed, not accidental.

Director's Notes
Without escalation governance, AI-generated sequences feel like a random walk through energy levels. One shot is calm, the next is intense, then calm again, then intense — with no narrative logic. MOMA ensures your story builds and releases tension the way a director would plan it: deliberately, with each moment earning the next.
