Invention round — three costumes, one body
Same content everywhere: the specimen essay, the ledger, one real-data figure. Only the dress changes. Judge in pairs with the tasting sheet — structure pass before beauty pass, verdict last, one discriminator sentence per verdict. Two passes, a day apart.
- Rubric — the illuminated blueprint: manuscript apparatus on technical content; rubrication; the formal register leads.
- Cut — the hard transition as law: one diagonal (50.3°), poster bones, the plain register leads.
- Serial — deep pulp played straight: issue apparatus, stepped masthead, the trash register leads — treated seriously.
Frozen constants everywhere: scale 1.503 · space 5×3ⁿ · epoch 503 · cut 50.3° · Δt 330/503ms. Pages: each direction has an index and /essay.
