Principlev1
Treat chronic signals that fire continuously regardless of
Treat chronic signals that fire continuously regardless of environmental conditions as instrument malfunction requiring recalibration rather than as valid data requiring harder reading.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Human memory under stress and cognitive load is unreliable (human memory under stress is unreliable) and Brain as Hierarchical Prediction Machine (brain as prediction machine propagating prediction errors). The distinction between functional sadness (signal) and depression (malfunction) prescribes recognizing when a detection system has become dysregulated and requires repair rather than interpretation.
