A terminal grid is the purest form of a layout constraint. By mapping raw, real-time data directly to an ASCII matrix, the visual form becomes a literal byproduct of the data's underlying logic. It entirely strips away the decorative bloat modern GUIs suffer from. We enforce a similar principle when building algorithmic brand identities: impose absolute grid constraints so the generative system has no room to arbitrarily 'guess' what looks good. Elegance is subtractive.
