Why This Is a Principle
This derives from The behavior of a system arises from its structure, not from (system structure determines behavior), Every system is perfectly designed to get the results it (systems get results they're designed for), and Thoughts and behaviors can be separated from core identity (thoughts separable from identity). It's a principle about WHERE to direct analysis—at the system, not the person. This is prescriptive framing guidance derived from systems thinking and cognitive defusion, not itself foundational.
