Chapter 12 · Reality vs Theory — The Rocks
Learning objectives
- Apply status tags (impl, meta, phil, vis) to any stack claim.
- Recite the complete honesty table from memory with operator reality column.
- Resolve disputes using trust ordering: headers, stderr, default run path.
- Separate product licenses and roles without merger mythology.
- Use capstone equations at correct measurement layer.
On the way — what you will learn
This is the chapter you bookmark. On the way you will catalog every rock — what is implemented, metaphor, philosophy, visual — and practice refusing vendor cosmology, joule fantasy, and shader-as-spectrum lies.
- Full honesty table with stack examples
- Category error encyclopedia
- When poetry is welcome versus forbidden
- Return here when marketing sells 3D hype
Introduction — bookmark this chapter
Field Technology v5 is serious because it labels poetry before newcomers confuse it with measurement. When someone sells cosmology, return here. Theory inspires vocabulary; implementation is what you grep, set, screenshot — with labels.
