+# Episode 01 — Four Timmy Mutations
+
+A deterministic 27-second vertical pilot showing one Timmy transformed by four pressures:
+
+1. **Wizard** — ambiguity turns context into a spell (`W-01`).
+2. **Machine** — repeatability makes the path exact (`M-02`).
+3. **Creature** — hunger preserves instinct as signal (`C-03`).
+4. **Talking Turd** — ridicule metabolizes shame into a punchline (`T-04`).
+
+Each section visibly names its pressure and ends in a memory receipt. The receipt roll connects the four mutations back to one pilot, followed by the choice: **WHICH TIMMY GETS TO REMEMBER THIS?**
+
+## Artifacts
+
+- [`episode01-four-timmy-mutations.mp4`](episode01-four-timmy-mutations.mp4) — delivery master
+- [`episode01-contact-sheet.jpg`](episode01-contact-sheet.jpg) — representative frames for quick review
+- [`build_episode01.py`](build_episode01.py) — deterministic visual and soundtrack generator
+
+The soundtrack is original and sample-free: the script synthesizes its 120 BPM kick/snare/hat rhythm, section motifs, and final chord from oscillators and seeded noise.
+
+## Rebuild
+
+Requires Python 3, Pillow, NumPy, FFmpeg, and the DejaVu fonts.
+
+```bash
+python3 media/episode01/build_episode01.py
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+Verified on the committed MP4:
+
+```text
+container: MP4
+video: H.264, 720x1280 (9:16), yuv420p, 30 fps
+sound: AAC, 48 kHz, mono
+length: 27.000000 seconds
+full decode: pass (ffmpeg -v error ... -f null -)

+```
+
+Re-run the structural/decode checks with:
+
+```bash
