Explanation

These pages answer "why is it like this?". They connect ideas rather than give steps; for steps, see the how-to guides.

• The six-step loop: what validate, plan, apply, run, verify and ship each do, and why they are separate.
• Determinism and the seed tree: why the same bundle and seed give the same bytes, and what can still differ.
• The FLUID seam: why a simulation refers to a contract and never restates it.
• The evidence pack, and what it does not claim: what ship writes, what a recipient can check, and what it leaves unsaid.
