Capability is built across six inseparable domains. Technology is an instrument of creation, never a seventh capability.

1. 01

   Health

   The substrate.

   The physical and metabolic state that determines whether all other capabilities can be exercised at all.

2. 02

   Character

   The private root.

   The disposition of the self when no one is watching. The determining factor in the sign — positive or negative — of every other capability.

3. 03

   Knowledge

   The inheritance.

   The stored record of what human beings have understood. Received in books, verified in practice, extended by inquiry.

4. 04

   Leadership

   The accountable whole.

   The practiced willingness to be responsible for outcomes one did not personally cause. Not charisma. A working habit.

5. 05

   Capital

   The stored effort.

   The compounded record of prior labor, made available to future ambition. Not wealth for its own sake — resource for institution-building.

6. 06

   Creation

   The made thing.

   The capacity to bring into existence what did not exist before — an enterprise, an invention, a building, a proof, a body of work, an institution. Technology is one of its instruments, not the capability itself.
