Principlev1
Build systems with sufficient internal variety to absorb
Build systems with sufficient internal variety to absorb environmental variety, ensuring corrective capacity matches the diversity of possible errors.
Why This Is a Principle
This principle derives from Ashby's Law of Requisite Variety as discussed in the lesson, which connects to Hierarchical Chunking Expands Capacity (hierarchical organization enables robustness) and Flexible Context-Dependent Categorization (conceptual flexibility to serve current goals). The principle prescribes designing correction mechanisms with variety matching error diversity. It's derived from axioms about system structure but is itself a design prescription, making it a principle rather than an axiom.
