Notes on Key Concepts, part of the Knowledge collection.
- Abstraction: Hiding the right complexity. Every interface, god, and grammar is a bet about what can be safely ignored.
- Cadence: The rhythm of a thing in motion. What delivers meaning before meaning is understood.
- Constraints as Liberation: Unlimited choice paralyzes; the right constraint frees. One camera, one lens, fourteen lines, a finite life.
- Naming Things: Every name is an act of creation. What you call a thing shapes what it becomes.
- Writing as a Vehicle for the Unconscious: The pen knows before the mind does. Writing as the channel through which the unconscious surfaces.
