# X-034 · The capture as a literary genre

The full transcript preserved for analysis is not merely data. It has formal properties — turn structure, error cascade, correction arc, self-diagnosis, convergence or its absence — and it preserves the temporal dimension of epistemic failure that screenshots and summaries lose. The capture registry is a corpus of a new form whose hermeneutics are undeveloped. The Brave capture's five-act structure is dramatically coherent, and not accidentally: the substrate's error modes follow the logic of dramatic revelation, with the user's questioning as the anagnorisis mechanism.
