CommonPractices holds the standards every other family here is built on. It is not a product; it is the ground they stand on. Independent programs interoperate because they conform to the same practices — not because they share code.
Three layers, rising in commitment. CommonTongue's README is the single source of truth for the stack — this is an index that points at it, not a restatement:
CommonMind— the PRINCIPLES (the why + the rules). You read it.CommonFraming— the SHAPES (how to build a recurring kind of thing) — the family's repo of product-shape blueprints. You adapt to it.CommonTongue— the CONTRACTS (the versioned wire language + per-language packages). You depend on it.
CommonStage— the family's shared web presentation layer: the standard, templates, styling, config schema, and generator for every family Org and product's public web pages. Not part of the altitude stack — it presents the family rather than governing it. Early: two proving sites built, shared apparatus extracted; the config-driven generator is next.
Changes flow through the doctrine's own discipline: a changeset holds deltas, never a copy; every
fact lives at exactly one altitude and is referenced, not copied, from everywhere else; and the
owner alone promotes — nothing self-promotes. See CommonMind's Documentation, Decision,
Single-Source-of-Truth, and Interface-Stability doctrines.
