A **Beat** is a wiki-page, written to stand alone as a unit of thought. Here in the context of science fiction, I imagine it exactly as I wish it to be - fluid, magical and real.
I expect the beat to be read as one in flow. Then left. If hungry I can imagine a sequence of three or more beats - a tryptich.
In between each sequence. During The Pause, I imagine a short piece of media, a silent film, an image, an audio piece. This Intermission is remeniscent of intertitles in silent films. We can use it to create a form of Staccato.

> A **Beat** in augmented live-learning is the smallest unit of reflection. Learners use their phone and earbuds to capture a short daily audio note — usually no more than a minute. > > This is a kind of audio journaling, recorded on the move or in the moment. The purpose is not polish, but presence. A beat is a snapshot of thought, a portable unit of meaning.
In this way, an individual beat can be forked — picked up, replayed, and reshaped by another voice.
What begins as a private note can evolve into something shared, participative, or even interactive.
When multiple beats are placed side by side, they begin to carry the rhythm of a narrative.
# Classical Meaning The word Beat also has a long history in writing and performance. In script writing, a beat is the smallest unit of dramatic action — a single shift in tone, intention, or emotion. A beat might be as small as a pause, a gesture, or a single line that changes the energy of a scene. Writers use beats to map the pulse of a story, ensuring it carries rhythm and momentum.
# In the Writers’ Room Within a writers’ room, beats are often mapped on a wall or board.
The beat is the creative building block of larger structures.
