Performance

To waste a CPU cycle is to waste a human life.

We treat the hardware as a sacred resource. High performance is not an "optimization" phase; it is a core structural requirement from day one.

Mandates

Cache-First Design: Design for memory hierarchy, not just logic.

Branch-Optimized: Code that respects the CPU's prediction logic.

No Latency Hiding: Solve the problem, don't just buffer it.

Physical Reality

Engineering for the machine.

Using the full parallel power of the modern chip instead of sequential scalar processing.

Pre-allocated arenas and predictable lifetimes instead of random heap fragmentation.

If it doesn't contribute to the core mission, it is removed. No "just-in-case" overhead.

The developer stays in control of the metal. No layers of indifference allowed.
