Principlev1

Categorize revision triggers by type (data, experience,

Categorize revision triggers by type (data, experience, authority, social proof, emotion) to build meta-knowledge about your own epistemic patterns.

Why This Is a Principle

This principle derives from metacognition (Two-Level Metacognitive Architecture), availability heuristic (Availability Heuristic Mechanism), and egocentric anchoring (Egocentric Anchoring in Perspective-Taking). It prescribes systematic categorization to enable meta-level learning about oneself.

Track what triggered the update

Record what new evidence or experience caused you to revise your schema. Every schema update has a trigger — a specific observation, conversation, failure, or piece of evidence that shifted your model. If you do not capture that trigger at the moment of change, you lose the provenance of your own thinking. Lost provenance means you cannot reconstruct why you believe what you now believe, cannot evaluate whether the change was warranted, and cannot detect patterns in what kinds of evidence actually move you.
