The interesting part of a cue is dependency, not spectacle.
Cue Architect is an original fictional exercise. It teaches a simple systems idea: a visible effect can depend on invisible conditions that need to be true first.
A moving platform should not become a visual reveal before the system has a safe state. Lighting can be dramatically effective when it arrives after the performer or scenic object reaches the intended position. Optional effects should support the moment rather than becoming a required dependency. The scoring model rewards that hierarchy.
