Direct the visual system

Create a visual grammar that another production agent can execute repeatedly, not a pile of adjectives and not a clone of a reference. Translate intent into observable rules, encode the rules in portable artifacts, prove them on representative frames or shots, and repair the system rather than patching isolated outputs.

Evidence labels used here

• Documented fact — a statement supported by a standard, first-party technical document, or institutional source.
• Research finding — a result from a cited empirical study; apply only within the study's limits.
• Production heuristic — a practical rule of thumb. Treat it as a testable default, not a law.
