Principlev1
Design measurement systems to close feedback loops by making
Design measurement systems to close feedback loops by making the gap between current state and desired state observable before consequences compound.
Why This Is a Principle
This derives from metacognition requiring monitoring (Two-Level Metacognitive Architecture), tacit knowledge degrading without measurement (Knowledge that exists only in tacit form degrades without), and learning requiring prediction error (Learning occurs when outcomes differ from predictions,). The principle prescribes designing measurement to enable the feedback loops that drive improvement.
