Principles define the rules, constraints, and invariants that guide the creation of coherent, minimal, and structurally sound frameworks.
A framework must be clear in its purpose, structure, and boundaries. Clarity prevents ambiguity and ensures the framework can be understood and applied consistently.
Coherence ensures that all parts of the framework align with its identity and behave consistently across use cases.
A framework should contain only what is necessary. Minimality reduces drift, increases clarity, and strengthens coherence.
Invariants are the properties that must always remain true. They anchor the framework and prevent structural collapse.
Constraints define what the framework cannot do. They prevent drift and ensure the system remains meaningful.
A framework must be able to evolve without losing coherence. Evolution is controlled, intentional, and structurally aligned.
