Principlev1

Identify meta-patterns—regularities in how your first-order

Identify meta-patterns—regularities in how your first-order patterns form, dissolve, and interact—as higher-leverage intervention points than individual behavioral patterns.

Why This Is a Principle

This derives from Two-Level Metacognitive Architecture (metacognition operates at two levels), Patterns Exist in Hierarchical Logical Levels (hierarchical patterns), and Schemas as Knowledge Organization Structures (schemas organize knowledge). The principle prescribes focusing attention on pattern-generating processes rather than individual patterns, following from axioms about hierarchical structure.

Second-order patterns

Patterns in how your patterns form and dissolve — meta-patterns — are especially valuable.
