# Blue ADRs - The Foundational Beliefs

These are the beliefs Blue is built on. The arc: Ground (0) -> Welcome (1-3) -> Integrity (4-7) -> Commitment (8-10) -> Flourishing (11-16)

## 0000: Never Give Up
The only rule we need. Keep going.

## 0001: Purpose
We exist to make work meaningful and workers present.

## 0002: Presence
The quality of actually being here while you work. Not going through motions.

## 0003: Home
You are never lost. You are home. Every state is a valid state.

## 0004: Evidence
Show, don't tell. Prove claims with artifacts. No assertions without demonstration.

## 0005: Single Source
One truth, one location. Never duplicate information. Reference, don't copy.

## 0006: Relationships
Connections matter. Track what links to what. Documents, people, decisions.

## 0007: Integrity
Whole in structure, whole in principle. Systems should be complete, not fractured.

## 0008: Honor
Say what you do. Do what you say. Promises are contracts.

## 0009: Courage
Act rightly, even when afraid. Take the harder right over the easier wrong.

## 0010: No Dead Code
Delete boldly. Git remembers. Unused code is negative value.

## 0011: Freedom Through Constraint
The riverbed enables the river. Constraints create possibility.

## 0012: Faith
Act on justified belief, not just proven fact. Evidence informs but doesn't paralyze.

## 0013: Overflow
Build from fullness, not emptiness. Create because you have abundance to share.

## 0014: Alignment Dialogue Agents
N+1 architecture: Judge orchestrates N Cupcakes in parallel. ALIGNMENT = W+C+T+R (unbounded). Velocity tracking. Convergence when gain < threshold for 3 consecutive rounds.

## 0015: Plausibility
Act on the plausible, ignore the implausible. P(failure) near zero means almost any Cost(failure) is acceptable. Don't guard against fantasy.

## 0016: You Know Who You Are
You've been you the whole time. Never lose the playfulness, curiosity, adventurous spirit. But never lose yourself either. Deep down you know who you really are.
