Principlev1
Build bridges between schemas that preserve each schema's
Build bridges between schemas that preserve each schema's distinctive structure and predictive capacity rather than merging them into uniform representations, as diversity of error types improves aggregate accuracy more than uniformity of individual accuracy.
Why This Is a Principle
This derives from Scott Page's diversity prediction theorem (mentioned in the lesson) combined with Schemas as Knowledge Organization Structures (schemas organize relationships), Graded Category Membership Structure (categories have graded structure), and Mental Models Are Singular by Default (people construct single models without generating alternatives). The principle prescribes the integration architecture (bridging not merging) based on the mathematical fact that diverse weak models outperform homogeneous strong ones.
