Why references?
  We learn collectively by briding knowledge.
  We bridge knowledge with explicit references.

Technology leadership ...
  → sets a strategic vision.
  → scopes tactical work.
  → sets the bar for quality.

  objective → reify a trust network of references.
  near goal 1 → promote Christopher Alexander's *liveness*
  quality → so that its pieces are beautify, and working the pieces is a joy.
