THE OFFICE OF MISALIGNED REPRESENTATION Form 27‑B: Foundational Principles for Acceptable Visual Inaccuracy

Section 1: Intent All artworks produced under this charter shall be made with sincere effort toward representation, despite the inevitable drift toward symbolic chaos.

Section 2: Line Conduct Lines are permitted to wobble, wander, hesitate, or panic. Straight lines require a permit.

Section 3: Facial Features Eyes may become portals. Noses may become arrows. Mouths may become weather patterns. Interpretation is not only allowed but encouraged.

Section 4: Error Management Errors shall be reclassified as Revelatory Events. No correction is mandatory unless it ruins the joke.

Section 5: Viewer Participation All viewers are hereby deputized as Co‑Finishers of the Work. Completion is a shared delusion.

Section 6: Cosmic Compliance The universe will laugh. This is expected and should be documented.
