How this site is put together.

The interface borrows from the place where an idea becomes accountable: the drawing table. Parts get names. Revisions stay visible. Finished, unfinished, and fictional work do not share a label.

The original Mochi core kit and assembly guide — REFERENCE / MOCHI CORE KIT / FIRST SHIPPED CHRISTMAS 2019

Reference drawing

The instructions were part of the product.

Mochi shipped with a fold-out guide that showed every piece, every step, and the order in which the object became whole. It did more than explain assembly. It made the system approachable.

This site uses the same move. Pull the work apart. Label what each piece does. Let the reader inspect the fit.

GENERAL NOTES

Assembly rules

Name the thing plainly.
Product, tool, or note. No category has to sound more important than the work inside it.
Mark its present state.
Shipped, prototype, study, or fiction. A future plan is not a current result.
Keep the evidence nearby.
Figures carry dates. Claims sit beside the artifact that supports them. Uncertainty stays in the drawing.
Show how the conclusion was reached.
The working drawing matters more than the victory lap.
