Exposures Become Readout Schedules

Channels Multiply Captures

fields by settings

Optical channel captures are deterministic indexed exposures. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

Channels are optical exposure settings

There are 4 fields and 3 optical channels.

Captures multiply fields by channels

The capture count is 12. This is not spectral unmixing.
