Definition #
The five fundamentals are the locked sequence the book runs on: Perspective → Product → People → Performance → Profit. Each fundamental owns a chapter range. The order is load-bearing: you think it (Perspective) → build the system (Product) → fill the roles (People) → run it (Performance) → monetize it (Profit).

Canon. Top-level architecture term. Owns the five-fundamental sequence and per-fundamental output set.
Why Behind the Thinking #
You have to create the processes to achieve success and then fill the designed roles for executing that system. You cannot hire correctly for a system that does not exist yet. If you hire first, you end up systematizing humans instead of the vision — the system shapes to the people, not to what the vision requires. Product = systematizing the vision for success. That must come before People.
