## Description

Think is a PHP web framework and object-relational mapper designed for building web applications. It functions as a structured foundation for application development, incorporating a dependency injection container to manage object lifecycles and reduce coupling between components.

The project includes a remote application debugger that allows for the inspection of internal state and variables from an external environment.

It implements a model-view-controller architecture to separate application logic and data from the user interface. This includes a request pipeline for routing and middleware processing, a template-based view rendering system, and an active record mapping system for relational database persistence.
