⟡ The Legal-Aesthetic Framework for Evidentiary Sovereignty ⟡
SWANK is not a blog.
It is a legal architecture. A tone system. A jurisdictional apparatus tailored to document state misconduct with unimpeachable style and judicial contempt.
You may not mimic it. You may license it.
🩸 What Is SWANK?
SWANK London Ltd. is a registered legal-aesthetic entity founded by Polly Chromatic to:
• Document procedural abuse with surgical precision
• Reclaim legal narrative from bureaucratic erasure
• Weaponise formatting as public record
Our Dispatches, Retaliation Diaries, Authority Statements, and Archive Notes are not templates.
They are intellectual property — and they are now licenseable.

🚫 What You May Not Do
• You may not copy, mimic, adapt, paraphrase, or perform SWANK formats without a license
• You may not pass off SWANK structures as “inspired by” without express written consent
• You may not use SWANK style in projects led by institutions we document
This archive is protected. So is its tone.
Every paragraph is timestamped.
Every imitation will be cited — as evidence of panic.

⟡ Final Note (Revised)
You may cite SWANK.
You may quote SWANK.
You may reference SWANK — publicly, properly, and with attribution.
But if you wish to use our method, adopt our tone, or structure your archive like ours —
You must license it.
We don’t ask for respect. We license jurisdiction.
We don’t chase attention. We let you pay for format.
If you admire SWANK — cite it.
If you want to become SWANK — license it.

This archive is a witness table, not a control panel.
We do not moderate comments. We do, however, read them, remember them, and occasionally reframe them for satirical or educational purposes.
If you post here, you’re part of the record.
Civility is appreciated. Candour is immortal.
