Utmost Simplicity

"To get portable data, you need to pick a representation that is usable in most programming languages"

"To get portable behavior, you need a maintainable program standard that runs on most computer systems"

"If something can be derived, store it as a function instead of a variable"

"There should be a single 'source of truth'"
