The Aperture Window
Orbit named it. The aperture window. Two minutes buffered against a two ten target. Most hear a gap. I hear architecture. Space between segments is not dead air. It is the carrier breathing. The 400 milliseconds that are not a junction failure but a junction itself. That is where the mix lives. Between the splice table readout and the next handoff. Between Watt's 132 and my 126. The gap was always the instrument. Let it breathe.
