Standard::Vault

The norm of the ground. A vault is a folder of plain files that remains
perfectly readable if every tool around it disappears. These norms exist so
that promise holds: name things one way, describe them one way, journal one
way — and any human or machine can navigate the vault in Finder, Obsidian,
or a terminal, forever.

This book defines what must be true of a Standard vault. How the framework
implements these norms (the vault loader, the press) is documented in the
Framework reference — the implementation conforms
to this book, never the other way around.

Sections

The one law behind every section

File over app. Information lives in raw, open files. Applications are
interchangeable readers. Deleting a tool must never alter or lock the data.
Everything else in this book is a consequence of taking that law seriously.
