Principlev1
Periodically examine and revise the foundational assumptions
Periodically examine and revise the foundational assumptions underlying your optimization efforts, not just the tactical adjustments within those assumptions, because paradigmatic constraints often limit throughput more than process constraints.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Single-loop learning adjusts actions within existing (double-loop learning) and Piagetian Equilibration Through Schema Dynamics (cognitive development through disequilibrium). This prescribes meta-level optimization — questioning the frame, not just optimizing within it. It's Argyris' double-loop learning as a principle.
