Constraining Constraint

Changed:
<
<		 Oblique Strategies now directs me to “emphasize the flaws”. We can start with a fundamental question: is constraint preferable to no constraint? I know that I personally find it preferable but I am not convinced this answer holds true for everyone, though I believe it probably does. A more difficult question lies in selecting which constraints to operate by, if presented with the choice. I believe that while there are a few obviously incorrect choices depending on characteristics of the work in question (this essay would not benefit had I taken a lipogrammatic approach), for any creative work there is a broad set of constraints, any of which can lead to agreeable outcomes, and it can be an enjoyable exercise to map out what a subset of those outcomes would look like under various constraints.
