**About this book**

This encyclopedia is a living document maintained by the Bartley engine. It is researched, written, edited, and deployed by AI agents operating under human-defined editorial standards and style rules. For details, see [How This Book Writes Itself](methodology.md).

The form is Christopher Alexander's [*A Pattern Language*](https://bartleyeditions.com/patterns) (1977) and the Gang of Four's *Design Patterns* (1994), adapted to a web-first audience and to the specific shape of building software with AI agents.
