# The Frame That Stays

## Lines Before Layers

A wireframe begins with nothing but placement. It shows where one thing ends and another begins, without color or detail to distract. This plain map lets us test whether the idea itself can hold weight before anything else is added.

## Plain Text as Foundation

Writing in a simple file works the same. The words sit in order, free of decoration, yet they already carry the shape of what will come. Later touches can arrive, but the first decisions about flow and balance remain the ones that matter most.

## Returning to What Holds

When work grows complex, the early lines offer a quiet check. They remind us that strength lives in arrangement rather than surface. Clearing away extras now and then returns us to that steady base.

*Every lasting form begins as an honest set of lines.*
