Principlev1

Store claims and their supporting evidence as separate

Store claims and their supporting evidence as separate addressable nodes linked explicitly rather than fused into single annotated statements.

Why This Is a Principle

Derives from Cognitive Defusion: Thoughts Are Objects (thoughts can be separated from thinker and treated as external material) and Hierarchical Chunking Expands Capacity (chunking treats organized groups as units). Prescribes structural separation of claims from evidence. Highly actionable, general across all knowledge work, and directly follows from axioms about cognitive objects and composition.
