  • The two grids — a module grid and a dot lattice, both anchored to the page, and what "commensurate" means.
  • Mirroring — why margins are inner and outer, and why a module never knows which side it is on.

  • Dots and labels — why dots are dropped rather than moved.
  • Design principles — the short list.
