A STUDY IN STATEMENT

One sentence. All the space it needs.

Remove the surrounding noise. Notice what happens to the same words when they no longer have to compete.

The sentence is unchanged. Space and scale make it the turn in the argument.

INSPECT THE REUSABLE LIBRARY COMPONENT

A specimen book cannot drift from its library when it is the library.

02 / THE DECISION

An act.
Not a container.

YOU ARE SAYING SOMETHING

Making the point the room is about.

Would a reader quote this line if they quoted one line?

WHEN THE ACT CHANGES

Claim

Use Claim instead when the assertion owes evidence, and should carry a status mark.

WHEN THE ACT CHANGES

Observation

Use Observation instead when you are describing what is there rather than what it means.

What is the Statement form in HAUSE, and when do you use it?

The Statement form is a HAUSE statement — one sentence, given the whole width. The turn of a chapter, in editorial voice at display size: the line a reader would quote if they quoted one line. Everything around it explains; this asserts, and the space above and below it is part of the form — a statement crowded by paragraphs is just a large sentence.

THE LIBRARY’S OWN ACCOUNT

Behind the form.

components/forms/Statement.tsx

The turn of a chapter, in editorial voice at display size: the line a reader would quote if they quoted one line. Everything around it explains; this asserts, and the space above and below it is part of the form — a statement crowded by paragraphs is just a large sentence.

Numbers never appear here. A measurement in editorial voice is a claim wearing a costume; it belongs in evidence voice, dated and attributed, beneath.

A statement: the reader reads.

THE STATEMENT’S DISCIPLINE

Every statement is prose in the three voices — editorial for claims, system for explanation, evidence for measurement. Server-renderable, no interaction: the reader reads, and nothing about the form depends on JavaScript arriving.

03 / MAKE SOMETHINGINSTALL HAUSE ↗

Give it your subject.

The opening study is an authored demonstration, not an additional component API. Expand the library specimen above to inspect the reusable form. Its props below come directly from the source.

REACT · Statement

import { Statement } from "@chrishayuk/hause/components/forms/Statement";

export function Statement({ text }: { text: string })

The import and the complete props contract. For installation and composition, follow the Build guide.

NOT INVENTED IN ISOLATION

A page needed this.

Used in vindex3.org and hause.design. These exhibitions share an author; this is evidence of reuse, not independent adoption.

01 / THE PROBLEMEVERYTHING BECOMES A CARD ↗Ask a model for an interface and the same eight containers come back: cards, badges, accordions, tabs, chat bubbles. A comparison, a refusal, an answer and a measurement are four different acts. They arrive as the same rectangle.
