# Decoration Test - Chapter 16

id: decoration_test | owner: codex | target: `output/chapters/chapter_16.md`

- `WORKS - flyer/mail simile` - `"the way you'd hand someone their own mail"` makes public exposure mundane and belongs to Theo's domestic-logistics register.
- `WORKS - erased-wall image cluster` - drowned salmon, roller, outlet plate, and ghosting boxes all carry the assigned fear and Ch12 memory; no decorative standalone image remains.
- `WORKS - blank-ground light` - literal painted bulb points to the one object Theo has not made; motif cap honored as one deliberate painted light image.
- `WORKS - pair/hang/lie` - Odile's line is a hanging instruction with reveal pressure, not a decorative maxim.
- `REMOVED - decorative candidates` - baby-teeth hooks, clementine tip, fuse close, and "terrible accuracy" were cut before this audit.

Chapter verdict: `DECORATION-EARNED`.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
