Jump cut or loadURL. Bind a new viewpoint or get a new world. The problem is persistence of any states set conditionally that have to be passed. So, doable in the first case but harder in the second case unless one uses a database.
Yet precisely the case. Pacing is maintained because of suspension of real world requirements. You are right that this one can be hard to get across to the new 3D modeler who not only wants a real world, but in every detail. The dragon of memory management eventually extinguishes the behavior and the author learns to *drive* the user.
What happens if they ignore the phone ringing? It rings again?
