One chapter per code.
Each of the 9 chapters opens with the principle, drops into protocol, runs through field tests, and closes with operator case studies. The reference manual for the BAM operating system.
Principle
The code in plain language. Why it matters. Where it came from. What it does to the operating system that is you.
Protocol
The specific moves. The daily practice. The drills. The science behind why the drills work. No vibes — protocol.
Case Studies
Real operators running the code. Chefs, coders, founders, fighters, parents. The code in the wild, in their arenas.
