DesignPhilosophyBeforeCanvas [principle] v1.0.0
Before executing any canvas art or static design, first write a visual philosophy document (aesthetic movement, form, color, scale, composition, hierarchy) — then execute the art using it as an unambiguous foundation. A philosophy document prevents the empty-canvas paralysis that produces generic output.

Rationale
Without a written aesthetic foundation, the act of placing the first element forces a default. That default is always the statistical average of training data. Writing philosophy forces intentional commitment to specific visual decisions before execution begins, making every subsequent choice a derivative of the philosophy rather than a new unconstrained decision.
