# CAD000: Design Principles

> Codifies the non-negotiable axioms every other CAD inherits from — immutable values, bounded resources, CRDT-safe idempotence, security-first cryptography. This is the constitution: why Convex refuses the shortcuts (mutable state, unbounded ops, bespoke crypto) that trap other decentralised platforms.
