# Shared concepts The Shared section holds the concepts common to every OpenYield audience — Nomads and Freeholders alike. These are the covenant-level ideas that make OpenYield a public-good mesh rather than a custodial platform. - [Six Principles](six-principles.md) — the immutable covenant (REQ-001). - [Bread Scale](bread-scale.md) — the unit of value and its 11 tiers (REQ-013). - [Storage Pools](storage-pools.md) — the three pools (Stash, Vault, Root-Pool) (REQ-014). - [Watchers & Mirror](watchers-mirror.md) — the 9 Watchers, 6-of-9 quorum, the Mirror (REQ-004). - [Lexicon](lexicon.md) — why 10 terms are banned, and what to say instead (REQ-012). - [Vision](vision.md) — the OpenYield covenant in brief. See the [README](../index.md) for build instructions, or the [Nomads](../nomads/index.md) and [Freeholders](../freeholders/index.md) sections for audience-specific docs.
