Color — Foundational Reference
This section covers the scientific and theoretical basis for color in design systems — not what any specific system does, but why color systems are structured the way they are. An agent that understands these foundations can reason about color decisions rather than pattern-matching from examples.
Typography Science — Section Index
The scientific and mathematical basis for type decisions in design systems. These files explain why type scales, line heights, and legibility heuristics are structured the way they are — the reasoning behind the numbers that design systems publish.
