The decorous and the amenable, the good object acquiescing to the hand presenting it. A "dramaturgical dimension, in which display and design were paramount, is now given over to the visitor as spectator" a theater, you actor.

The accommodating object, through docility, still manipulates, passive aggressive architectural.
