AI Needs Inspectable Artifacts — To help humans think, AI needs artifacts humans can own, inspect, move, and understand. Plain text enables collaboration without dependency.
Legibility Enables Intelligence — AI and humans thrive with simple, transparent systems. Organized, inspectable structures enable understanding and reasoning.
Local-First AI — Hardware advances rapidly. What required cloud now runs on your laptop. On-device AI gives speed, privacy, and independence from subscriptions.
The Human Remains Central — AI reduces cognitive load, not replaces judgment. Always see what's happening, always override.
Model Agnosticism — No lock-in to our models. Bring your own, use local, mix and match. Intelligence layer as flexible as data layer.
