Scramble
Break the order and keep every part; stop when nothing is where it was and nothing is missing.
Shuffle the pages.
Seen in Tristan Tzara, "To Make a Dadaist Poem", 1920
Try it on your work
Take one ordered set (the arranged shelf, the sorted stack, the laid-out kit) and disorder it completely, losing nothing, then work with it scrambled for a day. What you re-ordered first, under pressure, is the order that was real.
Take the sentences of one page you've written and rearrange them by chance: cut apart, shuffled, redealt. Read the scrambled page in full. The pairs that accidentally improved are joints your ordering had been keeping apart.
Randomise the order of one day's tasks, drawn from a hat, honoured strictly. Which tasks turned out to have real dependencies, and which merely had habits, is the day's finding.
How it has been used
Destroy the arrangement without destroying the thing: the shuffled manuscript, the anagram, the furniture piled in the room's centre. All the parts, none of the order. The move forbids losing pieces: scrambling with casualties is demolition, and the test is that everything is still there.
