A computer cannot tuck away a whole picture. It turns the picture into a pattern of tiny cells. Each cell has only two choices: dark or lit. Tap the card.
A pattern still needs something to hold every cell. One holder needs fresh electric nudges. Another clicks each cell into a physical position. Tap to compare.
That gives a computer two places: a teal thinking desk for the copy changing now, and a violet save drawer for the copy you ask it to keep.
The desk is quick. The drawer waits for Save.
Drive the memory machine. Choose a word for the teal desk. The violet drawer stays as it was until you tap Save this copy.

Slide through the power cut.
Move slowly and watch both banks.
