Build fast automatic detection systems for execution errors…

Build fast automatic detection systems for execution errors and slower deliberate detection systems for judgment errors.

Why This Is a Principle

Derives from Reason's taxonomy in L-0482 and grounds to Automaticity Without Conscious Control (automatic processes), Cognition Operates Through Dual Processing Systems (System 1 vs System 2), and Compiled Pattern Recognition Outpaces Rule-Following (pattern recognition speed). Prescribes matching detection mechanism speed to error type.
