Evaluate meaning frameworks by their consequences (agency, specificity, adaptability, coherence, action-generation) rather than their emotional comfort or inherited authority.
Why This Is a Principle
This is a principle derived from axioms about explanatory style (The explanatory style used to interpret adverse events), behavior revealing values (Actual behavior reveals operative values more reliably than), and schemas organizing experience (Human cognition operates through schemas — structured). It prescribes HOW to evaluate meaning frameworks using specific criteria, making it actionable and general enough to apply across contexts. It's not an axiom because it derives from deeper truths about cognition and isn't foundational itself.
