Why First Principles keeps showing up
Defaults are rarely neutral. They're usually just unexamined.
First Principles is the opposite. It's chosen—again and again—because it works, because it's balanced, and because it gives you a stable reference point as everything else changes around it.
In a rotating catalog, anchors matter. Without one, discovery turns into noise.
First Principles shows up in bundles, subscriptions, and recommendations not because it's safe—but because it's dependable. It holds the line while everything else moves.
That's not laziness. That's design.
