-##############################
-Design and Architectural Goals
-##############################
-
-Our goal for CodeIgniter is maximum performance, capability, and
-flexibility in the smallest, lightest possible package.
-
-To meet this goal we are committed to benchmarking, re-factoring, and
-simplifying at every step of the development process, rejecting anything
-that doesn't further the stated objective.
-
-From a technical and architectural standpoint, CodeIgniter was created
-with the following objectives:
-
--  **Dynamic Instantiation.** In CodeIgniter, components are loaded and
-   routines executed only when requested, rather than globally. No
-   assumptions are made by the system regarding what may be needed
-   beyond the minimal core resources, so the system is very light-weight
-   by default. The events, as triggered by the HTTP request, and the
-   controllers and views you design will determine what is invoked.
--  **Loose Coupling.** Coupling is the degree to which components of a
-   system rely on each other. The less components depend on each other
-   the more reusable and flexible the system becomes. Our goal was a
-   very loosely coupled system.
--  **Component Singularity.** Singularity is the degree to which
-   components have a narrowly focused purpose. In CodeIgniter, each
-   class and its functions are highly autonomous in order to allow
-   maximum usefulness.
-
-CodeIgniter is a dynamically instantiated, loosely coupled system with
-high component singularity. It strives for simplicity, flexibility, and
-high performance in a small footprint package.
