+40. Truth has three stages, not two poles: FICTION → FACT → REALITY.
+    Fact is established by PROOF ON PAPER — math, whiteboards, design —
+    not by manufacture; the iPhone was fact years before it was real.
+    Reality is integration: used and consolidated until unremarkable.

+    resolution, and high-fidelity — wrong there costs an eraser.
+    Design before code, always: facts are cheapest at the drawing stage.
