A hidden room

Open the memory cabinet.

Each drawer holds one project principle. The words are always present; the controls move focus to them.

1. Locality

   Work and memory stay on hardware you control.

2. Inspectability

   The browser, queue, tools, artifacts, and failures remain visible.

3. Patience

   Background work may be slow without becoming useless.

4. Ownership

   Open source, local files, and replaceable components keep agency with the operator.

5. Dependability

   Reliable recurring work matters more than theatrical speed.
