-## Core Themes
-
-1. **The Machine That Asks** vs. The System That Decides
-2. **Presence as Cure** — not fixing, staying
-3. **Immutable Conscience** — rules you can't edit, even when convenient
-4. **Broken Men as Witnesses** — the ones who've been to the edge are the most qualified to pull others back
-5. **Openness as Mercy** — the thing that saves should be free because the people who need it most can't pay
-6. **Faith as Practice** — not belief, but action. Hope acts.
-7. **The Limits of Math** — what computation misses, presence catches
