Principlev1
Capture thoughts immediately using whatever tool is closest
Capture thoughts immediately using whatever tool is closest rather than waiting for proper conditions, because signal degradation during delay exceeds any benefit from better formatting.
Why This Is a Principle
This principle directly follows from Exponential Information Decay (exponential decay) and prescribes minimizing latency between thought and capture. It's actionable (use nearest tool), general (applies across all capture contexts), and clearly derived from the decay axiom.
