step-through in time

One tick at a time, with the state visible at every step and you deciding when to advance. The point is the intermediate states, not the ending. A model that finishes in one second hides the ordering, the delay, and the moment a value first crosses a line. Stepping puts a pause exactly where the interesting thing happens, so you can name it before the rest of the run buries it.

Example

Best when the mechanism lives in the sequence of states, and the ending alone explains nothing.
