from here there are two possibilities...
1# There is an answer.
The artist "knew" the answer, (it's their story, their characters, they can decide what the "answer" is if they want to), even if they don't reveal the answer in the book, the answer exists and it is the only true answer.
2# There is NO answer.
The artist never decided on an answer, they left it unanswered purposely, and as such there is no correct answer. only endless speculation.
however, you're talking about a "did she/didn't she?" kind of unanswered question. or a "whodunnit?" unanswered question. Which is still very differnet to determining what ayu's lyrics mean in mirrorcle world.
are you saying you think that mirrorcle world is a #2 kind of problem?
that the meaning of mirrorcle world is undecided by the artist? do you think ayu didn't actually decide on a meaning, and left it completely open?
I personally think that the question of mirrorcle world's meaning is a #1 kind of problem. Ayu knows what she wants to say, we don't, we can only guess until she gives us "the answer".
but as long as their is an "answer", there will be many many wrong ones.

Well, I understand your point, though I probably have a different point of view. If ayu has the answer, but she has chosen not to give us, it is not wrong for us to come up with our own conclusions, even though the creation is hers. While ayu probably has made it with a #1 intent, the fact her message is so unclear and vague, leaving it open to different speculations (maybe this is where you mentioned the failure point, I dunno), and she has chosen not to give any explanation for it, to me it ends up fallen to a #2 type. You'll probably disagree but that's how I see it.
Also, what if there is a #3: the artist have their answer but don't give it, and want people to come up with their own conclusions, the way they want, meaning the others wouldn't be wrong either? How to make a difference from #1? It would be impossible, so to me artists who chose to hide the answer should be accepting to any kind of conclusuion made out of it.
