Operational Principles
Six principles that hold across environments, instruments and decades. Foundational statements for the practice.
Six principles hold across environments, instruments and decades. They are intended as foundational statements — the kind that outlast the technology used to honour them.
- 01Biological pressure is continuous.
- 02Observation precedes intervention.
- 03Evidence replaces assumption.
- 04Context creates meaning.
- 05Technology should remain replaceable.
- 06Operations are living systems.
Each principle is developed as its own short reading in the Principles section of this publication.
