First-principles instrument
Reason from physics.
Drop in a claim, a question, or a problem. Axiom kills analogy, isolates the laws that still stand, and forges the simplest thing that should exist.
01
Kill the analogy
Best practices are not laws. They are fossils of someone else's constraints.
02
Name the physics
Atoms, joules, hours, incentives. What is independently true even if the industry vanished.
03
Run the algorithm
Make requirements less dumb. Delete. Simplify. Accelerate. Automate last — never first.
The algorithm
- 01Question every requirement — and name who made it.
- 02Delete the part or process. Most errors are optimizing a thing that should not exist.
- 03Simplify.
- 04Accelerate cycle time.
- 05Automate last.
