The Movable Parallelogram as a Minimal Model of Generative Structure

The movable parallelogram provides a minimal geometric model linking determinantal and spectral generation, projective depth, and optical imaging. Its hinge‑based deformation unifies column volume, eigen‑direction scaling, perspective geometry, and lens behavior within a single generative structure.
