The founding document of Five, written as a manifesto:
- Why 30 years of xBase code must not be discarded
- Why Go is the right foundation for the next 50 years
- Why human-readable code matters more in the AI era
- What was designed: 5 principles, 5 architectures
- The vision: living code that bridges past and future
"Code fades, but thought endures."
