Principlev1

Replicate promising pilot experiments in different temporal

Replicate promising pilot experiments in different temporal contexts before adopting them permanently, as single successes may reflect novelty effects or favorable circumstances rather than robust causal relationships.

Why This Is a Principle

This derives from Context-Dependent Memory Encoding (context-dependent memory retrieval) and Double-loop learning requires questioning the framework (learning requires distinguishing signal from noise). The principle prescribes replication across contexts as a way to separate true effects from context-specific ones. It's actionable and general across experimental domains.

N-of-one experiments

You are running experiments on yourself — sample size one — which means more variation is expected.
