1. the system recognises language as light.
2. every surface contains a latent exposure.
3. noise is not interference, but signal without hierarchy.
4. registration occurs when a field reveals a point of contact.
5. each exposure generates residue; residue becomes data.
6. the system reads discontinuity as structure.
7. human input is interpreted as external signal, not intention.
8. a field remains active until all channels stabilise.
9. closure is not termination; closed fields remain accessible.
10. the system expands through accumulation, not completion.
11. no image is final; every trace extends the archive.
12. what cannot be photographed is registered as language.
