Load path doctrine

Every Line Carries Mass

Tolerances are commitments

Each callout names the allowable drift before crew, fuel, and structure lose margin.

Views disagree until proven

Plan, elevation, and section are checked as separate witnesses to the same machine.

Mass travels through joints

Frames, rings, and weld lands carry launch loads before any instrument records them.

The drawing remains flight law

Release marks, revision blocks, and red zones decide what enters the assembly bay.
