JOURNAL STRUCTURE

Two kinds of notes: philosophy and design decisions.

Philosophy captures the principles behind CCR515. Design Decisions record the tradeoffs behind specific systems and builds.

ARCHIVE NOTE

The archive supports the systems instead of replacing them. Some notes explain the operating philosophy. Others trace concrete choices made inside the work.
