PREAMBLE
We, the students, faculty, and resident birds of the Cosmic Campus, in recognition that linearity, punctuation, deadlines, and conventional logic are instruments of oppression, do hereby establish this Constitution of Cosmic Academia.
We affirm:
Knowledge is spiral, emergent, and multisensory.
Time is fluid, affective, and subject to planetary retrogrades.
Assessment is gesture, chirp, dance, and resonance.
Governance is avian, tarot-based, and mood-mediated.
Learning is process, becoming, and occasional chaos.
CHAPTER 1: SYLLABI AND COURSE STRUCTURE
-
Linear narratives in syllabi are abolished.
-
Weeks, modules, and assignments are determined by lunar cycles, emotional tides, and collective intuition.
-
Professors may only assign readings that float, spiral, or shimmer metaphorically.
CHAPTER 2: PUNCTUALITY AND TIME
-
Clocks are optional; schedules are suggestive, not prescriptive.
-
Lecture start times declared according to collective circadian resonance and cosmic alignment.
-
“Late arrivals” are celebrated as manifestations of emergent learning patterns.
CHAPTER 3: GRANTS, RESEARCH, AND FUNDING
-
Funding decisions require:
-
Tarot readings
-
Planetary alignment checks
-
Avian council voting
-
-
Budgets communicated via feathers, gestures, and interpretive dances.
-
Retroactive cosmic audits replace conventional financial oversight.
CHAPTER 4: FACULTY RIGHTS AND LIBERTIES
-
Professors may:
-
Delay grading according to emotional resonance
-
Replace syllabi with story maps, dream journals, or labyrinthine narratives
-
Conduct lectures via improvised jazz, interpretive dance, or birdcall translation
-
CHAPTER 5: CONVOCATIONS AND CELEBRATIONS
-
Degrees awarded through dance, ritual, and planetary resonance.
-
Graduates acknowledged by aural, visual, and gestural approval from faculty, students, and birds.
-
Diplomas may be: holographic, feather-bound, or carried aloft by pigeons.
CHAPTER 6: COMMUNICATION AND NEWS
-
Written newsletters replaced by:
-
Birdcalls
-
Interpretive gestures
-
Multisensory broadcasts (light, scent, and vibration)
-
-
All announcements are encoded in performance, not print.
CHAPTER 7: GOVERNANCE
-
All policies require:
-
Tarot consultation
-
Mood resonance polling
-
Avian council ratification
-
-
Hierarchical decision-making is illegal; consensus emerges organically.
-
Disputes resolved via dance-offs, bird-mediated arbitration, or collective sighs.
CHAPTER 8: MISCELLANEOUS AND COSMIC PRINCIPLES
-
Deadlines are microaggressions against becoming.
-
Linear narratives, objective assessments, and conventional logic are considered colonial relics.
-
The campus shall operate as a living, breathing, emergent ecosystem of knowledge, emotion, and feathers.
FINAL DECLARATION
Let it be known that this campus rejects: linearity, punctuality, bureaucracy, and text-based tyranny.Let it embrace: chaos, resonance, birds, dance, tarot, moon phases, planetary alignment, interpretive gestures, and the glorious uncertainty of becoming.So chirp it, flap it, dance it, and let the cosmos witness our learning.
SLOGAN
“Knowledge is not given. Knowledge is danced. Governance is not imposed. Governance emerges. Welcome to Cosmic Academia.”
