Use the downward arrow technique to surface invisible
Use the downward arrow technique to surface invisible foundational schemas by repeatedly asking what a surface belief would mean about deeper identity-level assumptions.
Why This Is a Principle
Grounded in Schemas as Knowledge Organization Structures (schemas organize at all abstraction levels), Mental Models Are Singular by Default (people construct single models), and Human cognition operates through schemas — structured (schemas operate pre-consciously). The principle prescribes a technique for reaching foundational schemas that shape surface beliefs invisibly.
