Principlev1
Accept periods of disorientation, reduced output, and loss
Accept periods of disorientation, reduced output, and loss of fluency during creative transitions as necessary reorganization rather than decline.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Piagetian Equilibration Through Schema Dynamics (cognitive development through equilibration resolving tension between schemas and experience) and When organisms are repeatedly exposed to aversive situations (learned helplessness from uncontrollable aversive situations). The principle prescribes reframing transition discomfort as developmental signal rather than failure signal, preventing premature abandonment. Actionable interpretive guidance.
