Keep connected reasoning in view
Individual methods answer local questions; long mantras help hold their reasons and mutual constraints together. For a project, the system-thinking long mantra (FPF A.1.STM) connects intended use, a common target, functioning, construction, ways of obtaining it, capable creators and their cooperation. Its full explanation shows why those answers must fit and what to revisit when one changes.
A mantra is a logical teaching unfolding, not a fixed order of thinking or work. The Library’s account of connected reasoning (Library.Reference:1.1) leads to developed connections in several fields. Read the full account to understand and adapt the method; use the short formula to recall it.
