What Remains After Success

Principles

Editorial Principles

How this archive chooses to look — and what it refuses to do.

  1. 01

    We do not celebrate decline

    We do not treat decline or death as punishment for the successful.

  2. 02

    We do not reduce a life to its ending

    We do not explain a person's life only through cause of death or late years.

  3. 03

    We do not call every discontinued product a failure

    A discontinued product is not automatically treated as a simple failure.

  4. 04

    We observe residues

    We observe the structures that remain after ending more than ending itself.

  5. 05

    We distinguish evidence from interpretation

    We clearly separate verifiable facts from interpretations by SHIRO & Co.

  6. 06

    We keep unfinished futures visible

    Futures that did not arrive are not erased as mere mistakes.
