Principlev1
Build structural accountability systems that surface
Build structural accountability systems that surface contradictions automatically rather than relying on introspective motivation, because directional motivation flexibly adjusts evidence thresholds to favor preferred conclusions.
Why This Is a Principle
Grounded in Bias Blind Spot Asymmetry (bias blind spot), Knowledge of cognitive biases does not reduce susceptibility (knowing biases doesn't prevent them), and Knowledge that exists only in tacit form degrades without (tacit knowledge degrades). This prescribes SYSTEM DESIGN: external structure over internal willpower. Kunda's motivated reasoning research makes this specific and testable.
