Apply temporal context filters to distinguish between domain-specific facts (short half-life, requires aggressive updating) and structural principles (long half-life, validated by temporal survival).

Why This Is a Principle

Derives from Exponential Information Decay (knowledge decay rates) and Patterns Exist in Hierarchical Logical Levels (patterns exist at hierarchical levels). The principle prescribes a classification system that determines update strategy. It's general enough to apply across all knowledge work and actionable — it changes how you treat different types of information.
