constants: -1, +1, and the infinity between them

3. No bare values anywhere in code — a number never appears without its technical name.
|

## The only real constants
|

|
||||
**0, 1, −1, +∞, −∞. That's the whole list.**
|
||||
**−1, +1, and the infinity between them.**
|
||||
|
||||
These five need no registry, no definition, no history — they are
|
||||
structure itself: nothing, unity, negation, and the two endless ends.
|
||||
They may appear bare anywhere.
|
||||
The space is bounded — nothing exceeds −1 or +1 — but between them
|
||||
lies an uncountable infinity of positions, 0 among them. That interior
|
||||
infinity is a constant too: structure itself, not something anyone
|
||||
invented. These may appear bare anywhere in code.
|
||||
|
||||
Everything else is **not a constant and must never be invented as one.**
|
||||
Inventing numbers is how systems rot: someone types `0.73`, someone
|
||||
else copies it, soon it's load-bearing folklore nobody can explain.

someone else copies it, soon it's load-bearing folklore nobody can

|

picked from the infinite interior, pretending to be special.
|
||||
|

Every other quantity is a **named relationship** — a registry row
|

carrying what it connects, which direction it pushes, and why its
|
||||
current setting is what it is. Relationships get tuned; constants
|
||||
don't exist to tune.
