Add categories for values you hold but haven't…

Add categories for values you hold but haven't operationalized, and remove categories that exist by inertia, because classification systems calcify around past values and make un-encoded values invisible.

Why This Is a Principle

Derives from Action possibilities exist in the relationship between… (affordances exist in agent-environment relationship), Behavior follows the path of least resistance due… (behavior follows least resistance), and The behavior of a system arises from its structure… (system behavior arises from structure). The lesson shows classification systems shape what you can perceive and act on. This principle prescribes structural revision to align infrastructure with current values, following from axioms about affordances and system structure.
