Agent check, labelled 1916 practice plus a proposal. Sargent's chain for a past or thought scene is: restore time order; if not possible name the job (recall, explain a new fact, picture a thought); choose frame or fade vision; choose fade or dissolve; return to the host scene; write plain action for apparitions; and ask whether the viewer should know the fact early. Items 1-8 restate him; counting visions without new facts and flagging technique words in scene action are the agent's proposal, not his rules. Comparison by candidate ID only: C3-B289-S96-04 (Phillips's vision, rules deferred), C3-B307-S111 (cut-back notation shared with fade visions), C3-B125-S27 (transitions), C3-B303-S108-04 (visions and continuity).
