Classify contradictions as resolvable or stable before attempting resolution—resolvable contradictions dissolve with context while stable paradoxes persist regardless of added information.
Why This Is a Principle
Grounded in No Direct Access to Reality (mediated access to reality), Brain as Hierarchical Prediction Machine (predictive processing), and Demonstrative Knowledge Requires Indemonstrable Foundations (indemonstrable first principles). This prescribes a DIAGNOSTIC procedure: determine contradiction type before attempting resolution. It's derived from axioms about knowledge limits but is itself methodological.
