+# High Noon
+
+**Teleological Hedonic Optimization (THO)** — a purpose classification framework for software and human activity.
+
+## What is this?
+
+High Noon is a framework for classifying software by the **human purposes** it serves, not the technology it uses. It measures the hedonic quality of purpose fulfillment and the full cost of achievement across financial, temporal, social, and environmental dimensions.
+
+### Core Concepts
+
+- **HTC** (Hedonic Teleology Classification) — What human purpose does this software serve, and at what quality?
+- **HQC** (Hedonic Quality Cost) — What does it cost to achieve that purpose, across every dimension?
+- **HQCM** (Hedonic Quality Cost Modifier) — How does the software change each cost, for whom, and when?
+- **HTA** (Hedonic Teleology Assessment) — The evaluation process that produces HTCs and HQCs
+- **TCS** (Teleological Classification System) — The taxonomy of human purposes, grounded in empirical data
+
+### Grounded in empirical research
+
+The classification system is built on validated federal and academic taxonomies:
+
+- **ATUS** (American Time Use Survey) — BLS classification of how humans spend time
+- **MIT Living Wage Calculator** — Essential human needs and expenditure categories
+- **BLS CPI** — Hedonic quality adjustment methodology for measuring value
+
+## Status
+
+Pre-alpha. The framework is under active conceptual development.
+
+## License
