Canon Locks (Non‑Negotiables)

  • No supernatural. All phenomena are natural and observable.

  • Fog discipline. Knee‑to‑waist; breath visible.
  • Light is motivated. Fire, sodium, halogen, dawn. No unmotivated fill on the creature.
  • Creature depiction is animal. No anthropomorphizing; intelligence shown via cause‑effect.
  • Dawn white at the end. Red/green porch bulbs are replaced with white in the final scene.
  • Chronology is linear. No flashbacks or cross‑cut timelines.
