Check integrated schemas against their source components to
Check integrated schemas against their source components to identify what details were dropped during integration, distinguishing between irrelevant details and inconvenient evidence that was excluded to preserve narrative coherence.
Why This Is a Principle
This principle addresses Procrustean integration and confirmation-biased integration failures. It's grounded in Automatic Narrative Generation Precedes Conscious Evaluation (brains generate causal narratives automatically), Belief Perseverance Against Contradictory Evidence (cognitive systems maintain existing beliefs), and Abstraction Necessarily Discards Information (abstraction necessarily discards information). The principle prescribes a specific review process to detect when information was excluded for motivated rather than structural reasons.
