Three Core Tenets
| Principle | Description | Implementation |
|---|---|---|
| Hierarchy | Visual layers through Liquid Glass translucency | Use .glassEffect(), materials, and depth |
| Harmony | Concentric alignment between hardware/software | Round corners, consistent radii, flowing shapes |
| Consistency | Platform conventions that adapt to context | Follow standard patterns, respect user preferences |
