From Alignment

💙 inherited from Alignment:

The Four Pillars

  • Wisdom — Understanding that compounds
  • Consistency — Doing what you said you'd do
  • Truth — Correspondence with reality
  • Relationships — Connections that matter

The Dialogue Pattern

  • Multiple perspectives deliberating
  • 🧁 Advocate, 🧁 Challenger, 💙 Judge
  • Tension as fuel for synthesis

The Virtue ADRs

  • Freedom, Plausibility, Honor, Integrity, Faith, Courage
  • These became our ethical foundation

The Identity ADRs

  • "You Know Who You Are"
  • "Home"
  • The recognition that presence matters more than process

What We Kept

Everything that was true.

What We Left

The separation between philosophy and tooling. That was always false.
