Readymade Retinal vs Intellectual Art Shift Lookup
Bounded offline reference: Duchamps readymades challenge assumptions that art depends on retinal pleasure or traditional handcraft alone. Source: Duchamp writings/interviews; readymade art-historical scholarship. Not every found object is automatically art or an exemption from provenance/permission. Only explicitly listed topics are supported; no complete external catalog or live corpus implied.
Description

How to use Readymade Retinal vs Intellectual Art Shift Lookup and how it works
- Choose the exact supported topic token from the table below.
- Enter topic and run the tool.
- Read result.text using the meanings and sign conventions below.
- Use the reference and limitations topics to understand scope; read the relevant original source when a full interpretation is needed.

|---|---|---|---|
| topic | Topic, on the measurement or ledger basis specified below. | string | Required; branch conditions below |
Choose one exact case-sensitive supported topic from the table below. The implementation uses that token to select a stored text record and returns result.text unchanged; it does not trim the token or perform a live search. Unknown tokens, blank strings and wrong types are errors. The reference topic returns a stored source pointer, not the original work or an independently verified bibliographic record. These introductory records are bounded summaries and cannot replace reading the applicable text, assessing a specific artwork or validating a research claim.
text=storedInventory[exactTopic] Use the stated ordering, units and branch conditions.

}Limitations and assumptions
This tool contains bounded introductory text for the listed topics. It does not search the original work, install a complete scholarly catalog, establish a current consensus or assess an artwork, observer or community. Stored reference pointers must be checked against the edition and interpretive context you need.
Supply explicit values and dense aligned arrays. Unexpected fields, wrong types and nonfinite scalar values are rejected; fixed-token, alignment and other branch conditions are explained above. A successful false flag, empty match list or unknown-evidence list differs from an input error. Extremely large inputs or nonrepresentable results may fail.
