Principlev1
Use AI to generate follow-up questions and identify
Use AI to generate follow-up questions and identify unexamined assumptions in completed reflections rather than to draft reflections, because the insight comes from your mind doing generative work, not from receiving polished analysis.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Generative Externalization (externalization is generative), Illusion of Explanatory Depth (gap between felt and articulable understanding), and Externalization Exposes Hidden Structure (externalization exposes gaps). The principle prescribes sequencing AI use after writing to preserve the generative cognitive work—derived from understanding that insight emerges through articulation, not reception.
