Books in progress.

Durable, linear arguments for strong engineers and independent hackers: mechanisms, architectures, failure modes, experiments, and buildable systems. The website is the living Early Access edition; Leanpub carries numbered releases.

A book can remain in progress. Each public chapter is expected to carry a complete local argument, evidence boundary, original apparatus, and an implementation lab.
