MANIFESTO OF GEARS
Tenets of Still Machinery

I. The Silent Forge

The perfect bearing rotates without sound
Its truth written in unmoving lubricant
Steel learns patience through endless revolutions

03.21
Maintenance rituals at zero hour
Calibrate to the hum of void
Tolerances measured in breaths

II. Vacuum Principles

Prime movers sleep in dormant circuits
Potential etched in unpowered silicon
The truest current flows when switched off

05.47
Empty chassis accepts any component
Cold forge shapes without striking
Blueprints emerge from negative space

III. The Unmoving Driver

Master gear remains fixed at center
Its teeth engage without consumption
Torque manifests through perfect alignment

09.63
Servos hum the mantra of restraint
Heat sinks breathe with glacial rhythm
All rotation returns to static truth

IV. Oxide Meditation

Rust patterns map temporal flow
Corrosion reveals essential form
The broken sprocket teaches continuity

12.08
Stress fractures contain whole histories
Shear forces write scripture in alloy
Failure modes illuminate the path
