Principlev1
Implement each identified root cause as an encoded
Implement each identified root cause as an encoded structural mechanism—a process step, default setting, checklist item, or automated check—that prevents the error class from recurring.
Why This Is a Principle
This principle derives from Human memory under stress and cognitive load is unreliable (memory fails under stress), The behavior of a system arises from its structure, not from (behavior arises from structure), and A production system produces results; roughly 94% of (system problems require system solutions). It prescribes how to close the loop from diagnosis to prevention: encode the fix into the system so it operates independently of human memory or willpower.
