Principlev1
Test understanding of abstractions by generating
Test understanding of abstractions by generating explanations using only concrete examples without definitions or jargon.
Why This Is a Principle
This principle follows from axioms about unreliable self-assessment (Illusion of Explanatory Depth) and externalization exposing gaps (Externalization Exposes Hidden Structure). It prescribes a specific testing procedure. The lesson's protocol section explicitly recommends this as a validation step.
