• Existence before distinctioncomplete frames always appear before any categorization — you never see broken output
• Mono, not syna single unified flow — no sync conflicts, because there is nothing to synchronize
• Understanding in gapsyou see only what changes, not the whole state repeated
• Human-computer unitythe frontend controls the pace of rendering, not the backend — flow that respects human perception
• Age of meaningevery frame matters — what appears on screen is always coherent, always complete

The principle → implementation map, from “Why a Terminal?”

“MCP brings the data. OpenCLIs refines it for AI.”

“…all these CLIs run in a terminal, and a terminal does not distinguish between who is typing.”

• Tool registryAI-native discovery: every tool ships an initiate/ contract that teaches an agent how to drive it.
• MCP-to-CLIany MCP service becomes a command line — and a plain REST call.
• Trust registry281 domains scored for AI, served with Ed25519-signed responses.

The practice — behavioral engineering: observe · diagnose · design · measure — “replacing heuristics with data”

“Philosophy tells you what to build. Engineering tells you how to build it. Most systems have one or the other. Monolex requires both.”
