How could an agent track a recurring image through a script or shot list so it can check variation and theme link?

No source gives a motif-tracking procedure for scripts. A proposed procedure (synthesis) combines: de la Prida's two-phase method (segment into sequences and list recurring elements with variations, then verify across the rest), Phillips et al.'s annotation scheme (primary/secondary motif, canonical/red-flag tags), Freeburg's variation rule and Forster's waxing/waning. The ledger records, for each sequence or shot, which motif appears, what changed, and the theme link; flags unchanged repeats, long gaps, and links missing. It is untested. Curator qualifications: Curator located the evidence excerpts in the work copies (automated prefix match; the one apparent miss, S25-05 E4, is a curly-apostrophe variant and is present). The procedure is a labelled synthesis (no source gives script motif tracking). The de la Prida effort figure is a useful cost signal. Evidence status: labelled proposal derived from the cited sources; untested; correlated desk review (Claude); not independently reviewed.
