Each track (or reproduction), is a program. Each program is a code.
These codes can be produced with commercially available materials from
commercially available sources. The display of any program or combination
of programs can be selected quickly because of availability. This availability
always exists due to each program's independence from other programs.
It is never a question of addition or subtraction, since each track
is an independent component to the program. The primary advantage is
that the components of the picture exist on bankable tracks. Whatever
state the picture finally exists in the states that helped to make the
photograph exist, continue to exist until called for again.
