What it does

It prices attention.

ATTNSN watches what is getting attention and asks one question. Did this get the right amount, or only a lot of it?

Consequence, Confidence, and Use. Each runs from 0 to 5. Deserved attention is the average. Received attention is how loud the topic already is. The piece is the gap between them.

    Signal

    The thing the crowd skipped. A table, a mechanism, a clock running out on a real decision.

  2. People walking along a city pavement, in black and white.

    Town hall

    A story that already has the noise, stripped of the herd's frame, held to what the source says.

  3. A run of concrete stairs, in black and white.

    Spectacle

    A viral nothing, named as a nothing, then pointed away from. Enough to see the trick. Not a diet.
