INTRODUCTION

English translation pending.

CORE DEFINITION

Unified writing, unified axle-track width, unified weights and measures, an open-logic move of protocol standardization and physical-layer interoperability, the cornerstone of a unified realm. By unifying the bottom protocol you lower the system's entropy, so the center's commands, the software, run losslessly in any corner of the empire, the hardware. As a scaffold it is API standardization: the endgame of a platform is to set the standard; set the axle width, the data format and interface standard, and every cartmaker must adapt to you.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

- Interface find: name the format or joint that everyone in the system must pass through. - Single standard: pick one specification and refuse to bless the competing few. - Scale harvest: let the whole ecosystem adapt to the track you laid down.

anchor

Anchor fast decisions

Unifying the script and the axle tracks cut the cost of cooperation and of circulation, and so lowered the friction of every exchange across the realm, which is why standardization is the precondition of operating at any scale.
