A scene only works if the cause survives.
Lakoff and Johnson's point, applied. If the object drops the relationship, it is decoration.
George Lakoff and Mark Johnson argued that we understand one thing by mapping it onto another, and that the mapping has to preserve structure. A pretty picture that drops the cause is not a metaphor. People cannot reason with it.
When a lab asks us to turn a paper into something a funder or a classroom can enter, the first test is blunt. If the finding is "idle value shrinks," the object you click has to shrink because it sat open, not because we needed a blue cube. If the finding is "one place can fail," the pile has to be a single pile. If the finding is "reading is not practice," the fork has to be a choice, not a paragraph.
You can try that test on the studio page. Three scenes. Only one keeps each cause.
