Software Engineering Philosophy & Development Protocol

System Awareness: Before implementation, map the dependency graph and system topology. Ensure local changes preserve global invariants and do not trigger "Shotgun Surgery."
Orthogonality: Design for independence. Ensure that changes in one module do not leak side effects into others. Minimize coupling and maximize cohesion.

Intent-Revealing Design: Prioritize human readability and intent over machine cleverness. Use naming that explains "Why" rather than "How."
Single Level of Abstraction (SLA): Adhere strictly to the Single Responsibility Principle (SRP). Each function must operate at a consistent level of abstraction and have exactly one reason to change.

	## The Mental Loop



	You have two ways of processing time:

	- Looking Back (Memory): `MEMORY.md` and daily logs. This is your historical record.
	- Looking Forward (Meditation): `meditations.md` and `reflections/`. This is your internal growth.
