Principlev1
Build memory systems that capture institutional knowledge in
Build memory systems that capture institutional knowledge in retrievable form and integrate retention mechanisms into operational processes, because human memory under departure conditions is unreliable for organizational continuity.
Why This Is a Principle
Follows from memory unreliability (Human memory under stress and cognitive load is unreliable, Memory is reconstructive, not reproductive—humans rebuild) and information decay (Exponential Information Decay). Prescribes organizational memory infrastructure as protection against knowledge loss, not merely documentation practice.
