Specifications for the constructed turnstile mark (), color tokens, typography scales, and media kit for contributors and partners.

Conceptual Foundation

The Constructed Turnstile (⊢)

The mark is a constructed turnstile () — the formal logical notation for "derives" or "therefore." A theorem is a statement derived from axioms through valid steps. The symbol that proof theory uses for "derives" is the same symbol that names the product. The mark is never the literal Unicode character; it is always authored from exact vector geometry.

Geometry & Construction

Mark Anatomy & Strict Geometry

Geometric Constants
Vertical bar width12.5% of mark height
Horizontal midbar weightSame as vertical bar
Midbar vertical position44% from top (not centered)
Midbar length62% of total width
Minimum rendered size14px tall
Clear space zone1× mark height minimum

Note on Midbar Position: Centering the midbar vertically causes the shape to visually read as an uppercase letter "F" rather than a formal logic symbol. The 44% offset preserves its mathematical character.

Usage Rules (DO)
  • Always render "Theorem" at weight 300 (light).
  • Always maintain 1× mark height clear space on all four sides.
  • Credit the umbrella institution as fundaments.work in mono uppercase.
  • Use the 6-color taxonomy for all highlight interfaces.
Strict Prohibitions (DON'T)
  • Never round corners on UI chrome, controls, or mark bars (radius is 0px).
  • Never rotate, slant, skew, or outline the mark.
  • Never bold the wordmark for emphasis (use scale, not weight).
  • Never place on noisy photographs or multicolored gradients.
Annotation Taxonomy

6-Color Semantic Taxonomy

Theorem defines an explicit semantic meaning for each highlight color so exported Markdown notes carry uniform cognitive significance across Obsidian, Logseq, and external tools.
