Sensor 'area of contrast' (operational vocabulary)

AARO's narrative video descriptions standardize on the term 'area of contrast' — a deliberately neutral phrasing for the bright-vs-background patch in a sensor frame, distinct from making any claim about object, shape, or material substance. The phrase recurs throughout the PR series.
