Three thresholds — curb, buttonhole, doorstep — apologised for in the form of a version-control diff. Every line is a contract amendment; every amendment is a confession. The removals and additions do not balance, on purpose.
--- thresholds.contract (previous day) +++ thresholds.contract (today) @@ -1,18 +1,18 @@ - The former neighbor withdraws the rule that no doorstep may be crossed in anger (with the understanding of those present). + Whoever closed the door replaces the above with the obligation to mention the doorstep at every greeting. - The undersigned cannot uphold the schedule for inspecting buttonholes on Tuesdays. + The tenant amends to include the presumption that a curb keeps its promises. - Party of the first part quietly removes the belief that a buttonhole notices who crosses it. - Party of the first part cannot uphold the penalty for leaving a buttonhole unattended. + The tenant enters into record the presumption that a doorstep keeps its promises (as the party no longer keeps a record). - The undersigned strikes from record the schedule for inspecting curbs on Tuesdays (for reasons not fully examined). - The tenant quietly removes the schedule for inspecting buttonholes on Tuesdays.
Each run of the generator produces a different diff. The one shown is a single performance; read it aloud, as if signing the amendments.
Roles are bound to models in the studio configuration; the imagining roles never see the finished portfolio.
