# 🏛️ SYNTAXIS - Brand Identity Guide

## Brand Essence

### Name & Origin
```
Name:         SYNTAXIS
Origin:       Greek (σύνταξις)
Meaning:      Arrangement, Composition, Systematic Ordering
Pronunciation: sin-TAK-sis
```

### Core Identity
**SYNTAXIS** represents the systematic arrangement of complex elements into harmonious workflows. Like Ptolemy's "Syntaxis Mathematica" brought order to astronomy, SYNTAXIS brings systematic order to project orchestration.
