EVERYTHING BECOMES A CARD
A card is a container pretending to be a meaning.

Why HAUSE
Make the meaning clear.
A plan, a measurement and an unsupported answer need different treatment. HAUSE gives those differences a visible structure.
One record, two presentations
A plan, evidence and a limit.
A plan. A piece of evidence. A boundary. No facts change when you switch treatments—only how clearly the interface distinguishes their jobs.
FICTIONAL GALLERY RECORD · A PRESENTATION STUDY, NOT AN EVALUATION
The problems behind the forms
Each chapter starts with a specific interface problem and shows how a form addresses it.
INTERFACES THAT CANNOT REFUSE
A system that cannot say no will guess.
Forms: Refusal · Variants · Question · Claim
PAGES MACHINES CANNOT READ
Strip the page to text, and it should still answer the question it was designed to answer.
Forms: Answer · Excerpt · Snippet · Lens
NOTHING TO CITE
A claim that cannot be dated is a claim that cannot be defended.
Forms: Citation · Provenance · Timeline · Answer
THE BOOK DRIFTS FROM THE CODE
A specimen book cannot drift from its library when it is the library.
Forms: Agreement · Evidence · Claim · Derivation
TUTORIAL OR REFERENCE, NEVER BOTH
Depth is a design problem, not a navigation problem.
Forms: Lens · Excerpt · Snippet · Anatomy
EVERYTHING SOUNDS EQUALLY CERTAIN
Confidence is a property of the sentence, not of the system that produced it.
Forms: Claim · Evidence · Question · Refusal · Agreement
MOTION THAT MEANS NOTHING
If the idea lives only in the animation, it does not survive the reader's settings.
Forms: Transformation · Procession · Unfolding · Quantisation · Magnitude
