            <p>
              Every executable process is explicitly in one regime:
              <b>K</b> (classical), <b>Q</b> (quantum), or <b>Φ</b> (phase).
              Regimes are interoperable, but boundaries are explicit and constrained.

          <h3>Core Principles</h3>
          <ul class="list">
            <li><b>Explicitness over inference</b>: nothing important is implied later.</li>
            <li><b>Constraints before control flow</b>: validity is global before progress is local.</li>
            <li><b>Determinism as a requirement</b>: observable behavior is reproducible and auditable.</li>
            <li><b>Admissibility as gatekeeper</b>: computation proceeds only inside admissible space.</li>
            <li><b>Implementation independence</b>: no compiler/runtime/back-end defines meaning.</li>
            <li><b>Semantic stability</b>: evolution preserves meaning over novelty.</li>

          <h3>Regimes</h3>
          <div class="pillRow">
            <div class="pill"><b>K</b> — deterministic, time-aware computation</div>
            <div class="pill"><b>Q</b> — linear, non-clonable resources</div>

            Dust unifies these regimes by making constraints, resources, time, and effects first-class—
            while preserving strict boundaries where required.

          <p>
            Dust evolves under explicit governance to preserve semantic stability:
            meaning is defined by the spec; compatibility is enforced structurally; implementations do not create precedent.
