Reference · method

Authored order with structure where it matters.

The method is a recursive sequence of sections and steps. Steps may retain prose directly or contain ordered named actions.

Order

Array declaration order is authored reading order. Explicit after dependencies constrain Calculus without replacing that order.

Recipe fact versus application policy

“Ferment for 12 hours in the refrigerator at 4 °C” is a recipe fact. Predicting fermentation speed, adjusting the schedule for a 6 °C fridge, or choosing timer defaults is application knowledge.
