German term or phrase: nachrechenbar
Der Bildbau ordnet sich nach den Regeln der nachrechenbaren Perspektive


I am assuming that 'Perspektive' is simply 'perspective' here, and I can find rules for perspectives in art on Google but nothing that helps with the 'nachrechenbar'...

Thanks to both of you - I went for "the rules of calculating perspective" in the end, because that worked best with the following sentence. So Brigitte's suggestion is the closest to what I put, although I liked both answers! Thank you!
