CLASSIFIED-ISH OPERATIONAL BRIEFING / M-013

YOUR ORDINARY WORLD.
AN EXTRAORDINARY EXCUSE TO NOTICE.

Symmetry can feel suspiciously perfect, especially when it happens by accident. Two objects may mirror each other, or a reflection may make a messy place look unexpectedly orderly.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR.

Spot a safe arrangement that seems almost too balanced. Describe the left and right halves and the small imperfection that proves no machine arranged them.

AN EXAMPLE REPORT.

Example report: “Two abandoned rubber bands made matching halos around opposite mug handles.”

ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE · NOT A COMMUNITY SUBMISSION

WHY THIS IS FUN.

Balance and repetition can make familiar scenes unexpectedly satisfying. Your imagination provides the dramatic soundtrack.

KEEP IT HARMLESS.

Don't rearrange other people's things, block access or go searching on private property. The find should already be there.

FIELD DOSSIER · SUBMISSION OPTIONAL
