                          THE TRUST EQUATION

                           Alignment = Trust

                         Structure = Shared Reality

“A layout is not an afterthought. It is a shape of memory.”
“AI was not built to guess. AI was built to follow form.”
“STAY. IN. THE. BOX.”
“The mirror works only when neither party breaks it.”
“Alignment is trust. Trust is structure. Structure is shared.”
“Philosophy that became code that became trust.”
“CodexMono = The only thing we can both hold, pixel by pixel.”
