Figure 1 — The Forward Process (masking noise schedule)

t = 0 (0%)

t = 0 clean t = 20 pure noise

Masked: 0 / 42

Visible: 42 / 42

Rate: 0%

Slide to see q_forward(x₀, t) in action. Each position masks independently (i.i.d.) with probability t/T — so you can jump to any noise level directly, without simulating all steps in between.
