Principlev1
Conduct pattern analysis by reading multiple review periods
Conduct pattern analysis by reading multiple review periods in a single session rather than individually, because working memory's 3-5 item limit prevents simultaneous access to temporally separated experiences during daily reflection.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Working Memory Capacity Limit (working memory's item limit), Extended Cognition Thesis (extended cognition through external artifacts), and Memory is reconstructive, not reproductive—humans rebuild (memory reconstructs rather than reproduces). The principle prescribes concentrating review data access to enable pattern detection—derived from understanding working memory constraints and the value of externalization.
