Principlev1
Treat major changes in goals, team composition, or system
Treat major changes in goals, team composition, or system architecture as mandatory recalibration events that require re-examining every existing feedback loop rather than assuming old metrics still apply.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from The behavior of a system arises from its structure, not from (system behavior arises from structure), Meaning as Receiver Construction (meaning emerges from interaction between information and context), and Context-Dependent Memory Encoding (memory retrieval is context-dependent). When context shifts, metrics calibrated to the old context become suspect. This prescribes triggered recalibration.
