KathaTrace decomposes a storyboard into scene-to-scene transitions, then asks the same question three ways — from text alone, from images alone, and from both — to measure exactly how much narrative meaning a generator loses on the way from page to picture.
Pick a curated narrative from KathaBench-25K, or imagine pasting your own fable. A short moral story works best — KathaTrace needs at least one scene-to-scene transition to trace.
Press "Compose Storyboard" above — KathaTrace traces each transition while the scenes assemble, then reveals the rendered storyboard for the selected story.
The same five transitions, re-scored under each evidence condition. Watch image-only recoverability fall well below text-only — that drop is the Semantic Trajectory Gap.
Six complete five-scene storyboards, two from each source collection, flipping automatically through every scene in sequence.
