Choice Resolution

Resolves conflicting animation parameters from multiple sources into a single, deterministic output. Transforms parallel choice systems into a sequential resolution pipeline.

The Problem

Without unified resolution:

• Emotion multipliers stack without bounds (1.2 × 1.4 = 1.68 → exceeds M3's 600ms max)
• Brand "elegant" and emotion "playful" produce contradictory squash-stretch values
• Video timing rules exist separately from the main choice pipeline
• Same inputs can produce different outputs depending on evaluation order

Resolution Pipeline

Recipe (base) → Emotion (modifier) → Brand (constraint) → Platform (adaptation) → Bounds → Accessibility (override)

Each layer has a specific role:
