Realistic synthesis
The people, events, figures, and contract terms are a synthetic premise. They are not statements of real cases or of current law. The source documents are the roots of the background and the norms and do not establish the premises of the scenario.
The question to decide
The tradition bearers of a rite never shown to anyone beyond participants are declining rapidly. Video preserves movement and context, but once copied it is hard to control who can watch it. When we hold the full video under restricted storage, record only part of it, or transmit it by hand with no recording at all, what does each option lose?

Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
