 The underlying assumptions behind Hugwis are (a) an ''a priori'' conlang that is made from scratch reflects how the creator organizes and categorizes concepts mentally, (b) one can gain understanding of one's own mental model using itself, and (c) this mental model is relatively stable.
+Since I was a kid, the way I speak has often confused people, even when I was trying to be normal. I have often felt a need to make up new words, to describe things better or just for fun. When I was a teenager I started to make up my own syntax too, like *"the flickering property of the lights" for "the lights keep flickering", or "than better one" for "better than the other". In time, I started to realize I organize concepts in a peculiar fashion, and I spent some time seeking the reason why.
+One's way of modeling the world is mostly innate, with in-born constructs like objects, concepts, and actions. This intuitive process is then modified by what one learns later in life, including languages and scientific theories. In my case, the (very introductory) materials on logical fallacies, graph theory, and number theory I read on the Internet has likely influenced Hugwis.
+The principles of Hugwis are redundancy, abstraction, systemization, chaos/ambiguity, preservation of detail, and flexibility/extensibility.
