Principlev1
After a single habit lapse, execute the minimum viable
After a single habit lapse, execute the minimum viable version of the behavior the next day to prevent the lapse from becoming a pattern-changing relapse.
Why This Is a Principle
This is clearly a principle—it prescribes specific action (execute minimum version after miss) that derives from axioms about belief perseverance (Belief Perseverance Against Contradictory Evidence), habit cue-reward associations (When a habit forms, neural activity spikes at the cue and), and extinction not erasing original learning (Extinction does not erase original learning but creates). It tells you what to do, when to do it, and why the timing matters neurologically.
