Is there an overlap in The 28 ‘Magic’ scenes and the 64 scenes as seen in the Plot Sequence Materials Report? I mean: the 28 magic scenes are 4 signposts and 3 journeys for 4 throughlines (4 x (3 + 4) = 28). And the 64 Plot Sequence scenes are obviously related to the signposts, and each signpost has 4 variations (4 x 4 x 4 = 64). But are they related to the journeys as well? Suppose I use all 64 scenes from the Plot Sequence Report, do I still need to add the journeys? Or can I consider one of the variants the ‘real’ signpost and the other 3 are part of some journey? How does this work? ---

If every act is explored in terms of four sequences, then, obviously, four sequences go inside each act. But...
