-* the project shall be a hybrid CPU-GPU-VPU
-* the project shall be commercial and mass-volume (100 million units
-  and above)
-* the project shall be entirely transparent so that end-users will be
-  able to trust it
-* the source code shall be available at all times for all components
-  for BUSINESS reasons, making development and use of SDKs dead simple
-  and aiding and assisting developers AND BUSINESSES in debugging and thus
-  hugely saving them money.
-
-Reasoning:
-
-* If the processor is not a hybrid CPU-GPU-VPU, the
-  complexity involved in developing a split shared-memory CPU-GPU both
-  at a hardware and a software level will be so costly it will jeapordise
-  the project.
-* The project is commercial and mass-volume because there are plenty
-  of academic designs (none of them reaching production where people
-  may benefit), and "Open" designs, created by the Open Hardware
-  Community, sadly due to the high cost of producing ASICs, tend to be
-  focussed on markets that would have been great about twenty to thirty
-  years ago.
-* Transparency is a key business objective.  It is a Unique Selling Point
-  that the processor is developed in a fashion that, should it be
-  independently audited, no opportunity for spying back-door co-processors
-  will be found to have "made their way surreptitiously - or overtly -
-  into the design".  Yes, GCHQ: I know about the conversation you had
-  with nCipher (and, to their everlasting credit, that they told you
-  to take a hike)
