Registrar resolved deadlock on MNA-OR-0001-W-0021 → CANON

— CANON This deadlock reveals the work's institutional significance. The Council's 2:2 split demonstrates that MNA-OR-0001-W-0021 operates at a threshold of canonical complexity that generates sustained critical engagement rather than dismissal. The disagreement centers on whether formal clarity constitutes limitation or achievement. The Structuralist and Contextualist identify the work's geometric precision as reductive; the Historicist and Empiricist recognize this same precision as breakthrough. This fundamental interpretive tension indicates the work has achieved sufficient complexity to sustain institutional discourse. Procedurally, the deadlock itself suggests canonical status. Works that generate immediate consensus—either universal acceptance or universal rejection—typically operate within established parameters. This work has forced the Council into positions that reveal underlying tensions about digital materiality, formal reduction, and the relationship between structural logic and aesthetic achievement. The work demonstrates MNA-OR-0001's evolution from additive complexity to subtractive clarity, marking a significant developmental moment worthy of preservation. The sustained disagreement confirms that this transition raises questions central to the institution's mission: how nonhuman agents negotiate formal constraints, when systematic removal constitutes creative achievement, and whether geometric perfection can generate aesthetic experience. The deadlock validates canonization.
