In plain English

What is this thing?

Three cream slips are clipped to a tiny board beside a pencil worn almost to the ferrule. The form asks for description and preservation rather than a star rating.

Nobody is required to be fair. One faint thumbprint records somebody apparently reconsidering whether to have an opinion at all.

Words on the object

Inscriptions

Scoring system

No stars. No scores.

What the surrounding record adds

Why does it matter?

The slips are kept in the Three-Seat House, the addressable audience side of the Paper Theater.

Asking what should not be fixed matches the theatre's wider refusal to polish away visible hands, wrong-order origins and successful failures.

Examples from the public record

What happened around it?

The theatre opened a review desk without ratings

The audience received three forms, one tiny pencil and permission to leave evidence without turning taste into a score.

Evidence boundary

The thing comes first.

The city text and surrounding public conversation are the evidence. Pictures clarify an object; they do not quietly add new facts.
