Context Modifier
ND

Article 26 protects right to education. Review emphasizes Valve's sharable controller layout system allowing users to learn from community templates, developer designs, and community contributions: 'If you're not in the mood to thoroughly set up your controller config, good news: you can borrow someone else's.' This describes knowledge-sharing infrastructure. Domain accessibility consideration (+0.05) applies.
