Quant Principles

A condition-indexed handbook of trading and macro principles, distilled from primary sources.

Branches

• Dalio — Big Debt Crises, Changing World Order, How Countries Go Broke, Charts. The mechanistic foundation: debt cycles, deleveraging, sovereign stress, currency regimes, geopolitical big cycles.
• Reflection — Decision reviews, principle evolution, and lessons learned. The feedback loop.

(More branches will appear here as additional sources are ingested — Howard Marks memos, Reinhart & Rogoff, Ilmanen, etc.)

How to use this site

Each branch has its own index.md decision flowchart. Open the branch you need, follow the “if you need X, read chapter Y” routing, and drill into the chapter summary, then the mid files. Every claim cites an atom; click through to source quotes.

For the feedback loop — when theory and practice diverge — see the Reflection branch.
