Principlev1
Separate schema accuracy from identity worth by explicitly
Separate schema accuracy from identity worth by explicitly stating that model failures are properties of the model not properties of the self, because schema-identity fusion converts intellectual updating into threats to self-concept.
Why This Is a Principle
This derives from Cognitive Defusion: Thoughts Are Objects (thoughts can be separated from identity), Cognitive Dissonance Drives Information Avoidance (cognitive dissonance from contradictory beliefs), and Thoughts and behaviors can be separated from core identity (thoughts can be separated from core identity). The principle applies cognitive defusion specifically to schemas. It's prescriptive guidance for enabling accommodation by preventing identity-threat responses.
