Context

Without clear boundaries, content gets mixed and hard to navigate. MRLS combines narrative, technical artifacts, and ongoing status updates, so we need durable categories from the start.

Decision

Use four primary content domains:

  • manifesto/ for core principles and positioning.
  • experiments/ for concrete project artifacts.
  • essays/ for reflective writing and philosophy.
  • a now section for current focus and momentum signals.

Consequences

  • Pros: easier publishing discipline, clearer reader mental model.
  • Cons: some pieces will span categories and require editorial judgment.

Revisit trigger

Revisit if category overlap becomes frequent or search/filter needs demand richer taxonomy.
