THE THREE COMMITMENTS
ENGINE / A · counted: 3IT READS BEFORE IT WRITES
ingestion precedes generation. nothing leaves the engine that was not first taken in and read.
REFUSES TO REPEAT ITSELF
self-repetition is treated as a defect, and enforced downstream at the ORIGINALITY gate — see plate 3.
COSTS WHAT IT COSTS
no price appears anywhere in this atlas. cost has never been measured (issue #44), so none is claimed.
each pictogram = one commitment · quantity shown by count of symbols, never by size · after O. Neurath
