Principlev1
Treat recognized patterns as decision points where you can
Treat recognized patterns as decision points where you can choose to follow or interrupt the automatic response rather than expecting recognition to eliminate the pattern.
Why This Is a Principle
Grounds in Habits as Context-Response Associations (habits form automatic context-response links), Automaticity Without Conscious Control (automatic processes operate without conscious control), Cognition Operates Through Dual Processing Systems (dual systems), and There exists a window of approximately 200 milliseconds (~200ms window for voluntary control). This prescribes treating recognition as creating choice points, not expecting instant elimination—critical distinction between awareness and control.
