Hints

How do I start this puzzle?

The clues should give words that are specifically contranyms, which describes words that can, depending on definition, be used to describe 2 opposites, with the flavortext clueing the word FAST either as moving quickly or being completely stuck. Can you use that to solve the rest of the clues? Each word should be defined by 2 clues, 1 in the left column and 1 in the right column.

What is the meaning of the fast and slow bits of audio?

Can you think of another common cipher where you can interpret something faster or slower? You usually do not see this cipher for 5 bits, but you will interpret 0.5x and 1.5x speeds different.
