Principlev1
Extend observation duration beyond initial pattern
Extend observation duration beyond initial pattern recognition to allow contradictory details to emerge that challenge preliminary models.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Perception as Predictive Construction (perception as predictive construction), Brain as Hierarchical Prediction Machine (brain as prediction machine), and Expertise Transforms Perceptual Chunking (expertise changes chunk size). The slow-looking research demonstrates this principle. It prescribes HOW LONG to observe (beyond initial recognition) based on how prediction and pattern-matching work.
