Principlev1

Build schema update triggers based on surprise and

Build schema update triggers based on surprise and prediction failure rather than calendar schedules, because surprise is the natural signal of model-reality divergence.

Why This Is a Principle

Derives from Brain as Hierarchical Prediction Machine (brain as prediction machine) and Learning occurs when outcomes differ from predictions, (learning occurs when outcomes differ from predictions). This principle tells you WHEN to review schemas based on prediction error as teaching signal. It's derived from how learning actually works, not foundational.

Schema debt from deferred updates

Knowing a schema is wrong but not updating it creates a growing liability.
