# Churros v9 — Pasta fixer

A twisting strand descends across a white grid while a crosshair cursor runs down it, calming the twist behind itself and brightening what it passed.

The strand hangs down the frame in red and teal twists, and a lavender
crosshair with a circle rides along it at speed. The cursor splits the piece in
two: above it — where it has already passed — the ribbon lies smoother and
glows brighter; below it the strand is wound several times tighter, waiting its
turn.

The cursor is an index over the stamp sequence, wrapping every few moments.
Stamps beyond it take a quadrupled rotation multiplier and stamps behind it get
their brightness boosted, so a single comparison per stamp produces the
before-and-after reading — nothing is ever modified, the strand is simply drawn
differently on each side of the sweep.
