Why This Is a Principle
This derives from Cognitive Dissonance Drives Information Avoidance (cognitive dissonance), Values exist in a hierarchical structure with terminal (hierarchical value structure), and The behavior of a system arises from its structure, not from (behavior arises from system structure). It prescribes a diagnostic framework that looks at systemic causes rather than individual character, which follows directly from the axioms about how values and system structure determine behavior.
