In Ch. VI-VII Lubbock states no codified rule. He states, in general terms, that the picture's point of view must not shift arbitrarily, that a simple mind forces a shift of vision, that a necessary transition must not call attention to itself, and, by example, that a climax's content can prescribe its method and must be prepared. The rule 'be consistent on some plan' is from Ch. V, not these chapters (cited via C3-B190-S44-02 E19). Most of what looks like a rule here is his reading of Flaubert and Thackeray, with permissive wording that sits uneasily with the no-arbitrary-shifting line.

Curator qualifications: Four general statements; no codified rule. This scoped negative is kept.

Evidence status: curator/producer inference or synthesis from the cited sources (code read, not executed, where code is cited); correlated desk review (Claude); not independently reviewed.
