E.2:11 - Rationale

The pillars are distilled from systems engineering, philosophy of science, software architecture, and ontology design. They interlock: Cognitive Elegance (P‑1) enables Didactic Primacy (P‑2); Open‑Ended Kernel (P‑4) and FPF Layering (P‑5) make Open‑Ended Evolution (P‑10) and SoTA alignment (P‑11) feasible; Cross‑Scale Consistency (P‑8) provides the algebraic backbone for Scalable Formality (P‑3). This minimal yet sufficient set balances stability with change, rigor with accessibility, and abstraction with measurable impact.

C.29 is a downstream support pattern for this constitution when mathematical first-principles structure is part of an argument about pillar support. It makes the structure, loss, and stop condition explicit while E.2 remains authority over what counts as a pillar.
