ENGINE MODULE

SRC™

Scene Reality Compiler

Every beat becomes filmable action.

Compiles ScriptIR beats inside DirectorLogic™ orchestration
“A beat names what happens. SRC authors how reality carries it.”

What This Layer Does

SRC is the Scene Reality Compiler. It takes each linked ScriptIR beat and authors the action and physical consequence that make the moment filmable—without changing what the story says happened.

The compiler works beat by beat, preserving source lineage as it turns narrative intent into clear movement, grounded cause and effect, and a usable handoff for blocking and camera orchestration.

Validation is a separate governance concern. SRC creates scene reality; audit and lint gates inspect the compiled result before any dispatch can spend a credit.

Receives

  • Linked narrative beats from ScriptIR
  • Frozen story constraints from StoryCore™
  • Continuity and environment context

Produces

  • Beat-faithful action authorship
  • Per-beat physical consequence
  • Source-linked compiled records
  • Deterministic handoff to blocking and camera systems

Engine Output Example

SRC — Compiled beat excerpt
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

SOURCE BEAT   Linked and preserved
ACTION        Filmable movement authored
PHYSICS       Cause and consequence authored
CONTINUITY    Canonical state retained
HANDOFF       Ready for blocking and camera

[Representative record. Compiler grammar and rule order redacted.]

Representative structure from a StoryDirector compilation. Sensitive grammar is intentionally omitted.

Why This Matters

Director's Notes

A beat can be narratively clear and still be visually inert. SRC closes that gap. It gives every compiled moment an action the camera can witness and a physical result the next shot can inherit.
