Short journal · Original editorial · Originality through constraints
A writer likes another person's format but wants an original piece.
A constraint can make a choice visible. Limit one feature while leaving others open, then inspect what the limit made possible and what it blocked. Keep the experiment reversible; the constraint is a tool for this attempt, not a law.
Use the structure with new observations and credit any direct influence.
Leave an easy return path where possible. Changing a method should not require pretending the earlier attempt never existed.
