The Senses

Each Sense is a named, lived conviction — a recurring shape in the work that earned a name once the pattern was clear enough to teach. Senses don’t ship; they orient. The axis below is vitality, not progress — see Senses: vitality, not progress for the vocabulary.

The presentation deck is the guided tour; this index is the doorway into the full design papers.

Under question

Orthogonal to vitality — these are being actively re-examined; see each Sense’s page for the open question.

By number

The chronicle — every Sense in the order it appeared, with its current vitality. The mini-footer on each page also walks this axis.
