>1: The stressed vowel of a prosodic unit must not be the same as the vowel of the two prior and two posterior prosodic units.
This rule forces you to expand your lexicon, beyond making your writing less repetitive. (These last two phrases ended in /ɛ/, for example. Never do this in a book's prose)
>2: The sentence(s) or paragraph(s) must contain an obscure reference to another book, person, event, or any phenomenon of cultural significance.
This impossibilitates your writing from being shallow, beyond providing incentive to study and creativity. (Sometimes you will be like "wtf was my character thinking here?" in the good sense)
>3: The structure must be optimal, even if entire passages or books are to be rewritten.
This may be called plagiarism, but it is not. Istead of copying ideas and contents, you will replicate their syntax. The closest analogy is "tracing", where you create a drawing based upon an existing picture, modifying it as you will. (This is more like a hack, but then Shakespeare was the greatest hack.)

This is easy enough in English which has 13+ different vowels but what about, say, Greek, which has five?

Ok, I'll give it a shot

Manny tossed the chicken fucking the atmosphere like Joltin Joe Dimaggio.

Did I do it right? This seems very form over function. Maybe could enliven dull bits, but metering prolly works better.
