Break interpretive narratives into observable facts and
Break interpretive narratives into observable facts and acknowledged inferences to separate what occurred from what you constructed around it.
Why This Is a Principle
This is a principle derived from multiple axioms: Automatic Narrative Generation Precedes Conscious Evaluation (automatic causal narratives), Automatic Fusion of Observation and Interpretation (observation-interpretation fusion), Schemas as Knowledge Organization Structures (schemas organize knowledge), and Generative Externalization (writing as generative act). It prescribes HOW to apply these axioms—by deliberately separating fact from story through structured decomposition. It's actionable across contexts (not a rule), and it follows FROM the axioms rather than being foundational itself.
