active draft. a technical sketch. general, before special —alignment, before distraction Compositional mechanics is, loosely, ’mechanics and periodic table all the things’: minimum viable theory, to account for all universal phenomena introduction Compositional mechanics is a system for representing all universal phenomena by universally common phenomena-invariant primitives; which relate all phenomena, in a scoped, multi-inherited taxonomy, of phenomenal and causal concerns. Compositional mechanics allows reasoning and reconciliation across distinct, circumstantially adjacent or taxonomically related universal phenomena: the causal profile of known or accessible phenomena, can be used to interrogate, or reconcile, the causal characteristics of adjacent or respective phenomena....
