Event is the general-purpose beat: a moment where something happens that isn’t specifically a reveal, a turn, or a structural marker. Every shared beat field applies — viewpoint, location, cast, placement and the knowledge layer.
AffectsAdvances the plot by one beat; becomes a scene the engine renders.
Wire itUse it for any beat where something happens. Chain events along a thread and punctuate them with reveals and turns.
