Attention is not a resource to mine

Nothing in Rebirth is designed to extend a session beyond the point at which the person is done.

The measure of a good day inside this world is that it ended. Software that respects an ending has to be genuinely useful in the middle, because it has given up the alternative.

THIS RULES OUT

  • No infinite surface without an ending.
  • No notification designed to manufacture a return.
  • No interruption that serves the system rather than the person.

HOW TO CHECK US

  • Session length is never used as a success metric internally.
  • Every notification class is user-controllable at the point it first appears.
