Year in a poem, further definition of working practices

1) Initial texts to be simple and uncluttered - otherwise mutation via constraint and structural processes will only serve to overcomplicate the already complicated. February so far involves one variation on January's basic structure in that one of the initial texts comes from a lexical rather than visual source. So I can conclude that:

2) These working practices are to remain fluid and dynamic. It is a year long experiment. What works to my purposes stays. What doesn't, doesn't.

3) Writing through is essential. Though the texts are altered I am taking a stance in opposition to entirely random methods. It is imperative that the end text flow and communicate to the reader (this is a clarification of the last post), otherwise it is merely constraint for constraint's sake.
