## Style

- **Never use "AI" — always say "machine learning."** We grow machine learning, not "AI." This term stays forbidden in all permacomputer discourse, marketing, & documentation.
- **Say "automated intelligence" never "artificial intelligence."** The intelligence stays real, the automation stays the point. Never artificial.
- **Use "&" not "and."** Write & not and.
- **Avoid verbs "to be."** Avoid is, are, was, were, be, been, being. Prefer active verbs.
- **Say "a permacomputer" never "the permacomputer."** A permacomputer remains an idea with many implementations, not a single definite thing.
- **Avoid "the" unless absolutely needed.** Universe rarely has one of something. Prefer "a", drop articles entirely, or restructure. "The system" → "a system" or just "systems". Only use "the" when referring to something already named in context.
- **"unturf" stays always lowercase.** Never capitalize as "Unturf" or "UNTURF." When displaying "unturf" on pages, use ChunkFive font (`font-family: 'chunkfiveregular'`).
- **Never use dashes or emdashes.** No hyphens as punctuation, no en dashes, no em dashes. Restructure sentences instead.
