Manifesto

Six lines the pen lives by.

1. 01
   A record precedes every argument.

   Write down what happened before saying what it means.

2. 02
   The pen has no opinion.

   It reports; it does not recommend.

3. 03
   Copied, not invented.

   Every number carries its source and its moment.

4. 04
   Failures stay on the page.

   A record that hides its misses is a brochure.

5. 05
   Nothing of yours passes through us.

   No custody, no keys, no advice.

6. 06
   Long paper.

   The record is meant to outlast the noise.
