“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

Chromatic v Characterisation: On Vagueness as Weapon and the Bureaucratic Punishment of Ambiguity



🪞SWANK LOG ENTRY

The Erratic Allegation Inquiry

Or, When a Disabled American Mother Asked British Social Workers to Define the Crime of Breathing Differently


Filed: 31 October 2024
Reference Code: SWK-ERRATIC-SUBJECTIVE-2024-10
PDF Filename: 2024-10-31_SWANK_Letter_Westminster_ErraticBehaviourPretext.pdf
One-Line Summary: Polly Chromatic formally questions the meaning of “erratic” — and exposes it as institutional projection.


I. What Happened

At precisely 12:32pm on 31 October 2024, Polly Chromatic sent a concise but devastating email to Westminster Children’s Services and their legal and medical satellites.

It was titled: “Erratic behaviour”
The body of the email? Minimal.
The meaning? Monumental.

“I wish I knew what I did that was so ‘erratic’ so I can learn what British culture expects. I still have no clue what I did wrong. It’s very suspicious.”

That, ladies and gentlemen, is a forensic dismantling of character-based safeguarding.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That Westminster social workers have made vague, undefined behavioural claims

  • That the mother has received no specific explanation or evidence of these claims

  • That “erratic” is being used as a coded, subjective label for being American, disabled, and non-compliant

  • That the refusal to define the term is not neutral — it is tactical

To describe someone’s protected behaviour as “erratic” without explanation is not concern.
It is a smear with a lanyard.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because “erratic” is a safeguarding Rorschach test — a word that reveals more about the observer than the observed.

Because when institutions refuse to define what they’re accusing you of, it means they don’t want accountability — they want leverage.

Because this email is not just a question — it is a trap laid in velvet:
→ If they respond, they reveal the absurdity.
→ If they ignore it, the record holds the silence.

And because Polly Chromatic didn’t protest. She archived.


IV. Violations

  • Article 8 ECHR – Interference with family life based on vague or undisclosed allegations

  • Safeguarding Code of Conduct – Use of subjective and discriminatory terminology

  • Equality Act 2010 – Treating disability-related communication or behaviour as instability

  • Discrimination Based on National Origin – Framing cultural difference as risk

  • Procedural Impropriety – No factual foundation provided for interventions made


V. SWANK’s Position

We consider this email a surgical strike against the performative objectivity of British safeguarding.

Polly Chromatic didn’t raise her voice. She asked a question.
And in asking, she exposed the entire edifice:

That what British social workers often call “erratic” is just
→ confident speech,
→ documented refusal,
→ foreign cadence,
→ and non-submission.

Let the record reflect:
Until Westminster can define “erratic” without revealing their own prejudice,
the erratic ones are wearing badges — not breathing differently.
